This abstract view of the Rialto Bridge reflected in Venice's Grand Canal was the last picture I captured on my recent trip to the city. It wont be the last one I share though as I still have some wonderful images to share, and hopefully very soon I will also have some exciting news.
The bridge spans the grand canal and is a popular spot to shop or to stand and take in the magnificent view and the atmosphere of the city. I love the way the lights from the bridge stretch out in coloured pillars creating loops, whorls and curls, the white light reflected in the middle almost looks like a fingerprint.
I've left Thunder Bay behind after a fabulous two weeks and I'm now in Sault Ste Marie on my way back to Toronto and then back home to England.
Sault ste Marie is described as Algoma's friendliest city and it sits on the border with the USA as you can see from today's picture which shows the bridge joining the two countries above the St Mary's River which itself linksthe great lakes Lake Huron and Lake Superior.
One of the most anticipated aspects of my trip was crossing the Viaduc de Millau, I have wanted to do the crossing for so long that when the idea of this road trip was first raised it was at the top of my list and all the planning had to include Millau.
I'm sure you will agree it is truly impressive and it is a tremendous feat of engineering and innovation.
The first of today's pictures isn't the clearest image because of the rain on the lens but it is the image I wanted as it captures the reflection of the bridge on the roof of my car.
Pictures two and three were taken from a vantage point in the small troglodyte village of Peyre in the Tarn Valley. In the coming weeks no doubt I will share some pictures of the village itself but for today the focus is on the bridge.
The final three images were taken as the light faded. I think I need more practice at night photography but I think these are decent images all the same and show how stunning the bridge is.
If you have a favourite from today's pictures leave a comment below...
Day two of my Amsterdam pictures and I have chosen some street scenes. I really like the style of the architecture in Amsterdam and these pictures give a real flavour of the city.
I think if pushed to pick a favourite picture from this small selection I would have to choose between the final two images but I really can't decide. I'd be interested to know what you think so feel free to comment below...
