Bielefeld,Germany
no Graffitti !!

Hectic life just carries on.Swine flu is running rife in Germany at the moment (have you got it where you are ?) and over a third of everybody at work are sick at the moment so the few left fit,well and fighting are having to push out the over time to make up for the sick and missing !!

@chrissy: Exactly the same bridge though,just from the other side !!

Sarito from Basingstoke, United Kingdom

MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom

And so did I! You've kept us on our toes today (not a bad achievement as I sit at my desk!). It is a nicer bridge than yesterday..the shot is just as magnificent as yesterday's..B&W is so good for a shot like this. Are the two arches from the bridge over the track to stop people throwing things onto the trains or - god forbid- jumping off, do you know/think?

@MrsAmber: Yep,your right...To stop people throwing things down onto the overhead electric cables !!

jeff (aka dogilicious) from Millerstown, PA, United States

Great comparison to yesterday's. Cleaner than yesterday's but not necessarily more interesting.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): Yesterdays was all about the graffitti I think,todays more about the railings and the lines !!

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Love the lines, so clear, there's something about bridges that is very special, you've captured it here ;)

@Lorraine: Cheers Lorraine !!

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom

Same kind of compositional structure as yesterdays. A nice way for the eye to travel. Would have liked just a tad more on the right hand side to stop the eye shooting out of the frame though.

@grouser: I was too busy trying to keep the whole bridge in frame to notice the railing exiting stage right(Ill go back and have a look at the other shots I did that day and see if I did any better on other ones)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Another well composed picture. So good in b&w. I think it peaks one's imagination more than a colored picture. ??

@Marion: Nicely said Marion,I also think it tends to make so many hidden details really stand out !!

LESLIE from norwich, United Kingdom

Great - love the B & W ....

I like the intersecting lines of the railings and the stark contrast of them with the puffy clouds. Guess I missed your relocation to Deutschland. How are you liking it?

@willow: I think you may have the wrong end of the stick Willow(or your mixing me up with my Father or Brother who also post on AM3/Jeff and Alun).I´ve lived in Germany since being posted out here in the Army in 1986.I´ve worked as a civilian since 1989 and have been married to my dear wife for nearly 20 years.
I do tend to post a lot of shots taken in the UK,I try to get back to Wales once a year if possible...
