Bridge by the Ugly House

Bridge by the Ugly House

This photo was taken early morning and the sun was trying to burn through the mist. There was enough light to create a reflection of the bridge arch. The Bridge itself crosses river Llugwy and is on the way out of Betws Y Coed in North Wales towards Capel Curig. Next to the bridge is a popular tourist attraction “Ty Hyll” or Ugly House. Hope to upload a pic of the ugly house but on this particular day the gate was locked and I couldn’t get a clear shot.

    Great shot, I love that it is more of a hint of the bridge through the tress and through the reflection in the water and the mood set by capturing it this way rather than all out in the open. Well done.

    Very nice shot and reflection notwithstanding the mist.Looking forward to seeing the ” Ty Hyll”

  • geraint replied

    Thanks Gilberte. Ty Hyll has a great story behind it but I personally think its far from ugly. I suppose there’s no accounting for taste. ps I have the flu!! I’m after some sympathy!! lol
