[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This bridge, not far from the South Island township of Oamaru, is part of the trunk line joining Christchurch and Dunedin. It it famed for the stunningly beautiful landscapes it passes through. Unfortunately a decision was made not so long ago to discontinue the public scheduled services on this line though "special" enthusiast trains periodically run this route.

Well worth the trip if ever you get the chance...and be sure to pack your camera!

Interesting shapes and colours in this photo Martyn, it would look great with a train passing over, maybe photoshop a loco or steam engine in ;)

But jeez ... is that all gorse along the banks? Shame, shame if it is - so sad to see the evil invader so prevalent.

An amazing view though, and beautifully captured - very nice rule-of-thirds composition, excellent depth of field.

Hello Martyn.
Good looking photo from this landscape.
Yesterday, seen hundreds of pictures from NZ, as my sister in law, just returned from 5 weeks there. their son is living upposite the baai of Wellington, at Eastburne.

Hi Martyn,
Beautiful bridge,nice composition.
Best regards,
Ralf

A lovely landscape remimnding me of a very similar photo that I took of the old bridge where the Sishen-Saldanha train line crosses the main higway to Namibia in Namakwaland. The nly difference is that my photo is from a much more arid area. I love the composition here with the nice green landscape and the wonderful reflection of the sky in the water.

I liked the composition of forms and colors here, Martyn. The POV was making this beautiful landscape so nice to view.
