Waiting for the Troll

Warren Anthon..., 5 months ago

Cherrybrook following the mist, I see, like the tone here, with the bridge makes a special iamges, very nice.
Well done

Bootiewootsy, 5 months ago

What a beautiful place to find. You certainly have done justice to this photo.. Looks like a painting.

Deidre Cripwell, 5 months ago

beautiful – love the colours (and if you look close there is already a troll under the bridge)

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Warren Anthony Williams’s comment, 5 months ago

There was not a lot of mist that morning but enough to help the images out! Thanks Warren.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Bootiewootsy’s comment, 5 months ago

Hi Carol – I am pleased you find it painterly, as I thought the same thing! Thanks lovely lady.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Deidre Cripwell’s comment, 5 months ago

Hi Deidre – you could be right – although it is likely to be a waterfowl I suspect rather than a troll!!! We can imagine though … !!! Thank you for the encouragement.

jlynn, 5 months ago

These are absolutely Stunning images!!!

buddykfa, 5 months ago

very sweet capture, Rosalie !
Excellent example of what most of us are looking for when we think of this kind of rustic bridge on a trail.
Absolutely perfect. It’s like a painting.
I don’t think that you could have changed anything to improve it.

Will Barton, 5 months ago

This almost has a Monet feel with the lovely warm tones. Very noice Rosalie!

pixeltrekker, 5 months ago

My thoughts exactly Rosalie, Claude Monet painted many pictures of his garden. It does have that feel.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Phil Thomson IPA’s comment, 5 months ago

At least this one was not TOO early – the mist had started to rise, and it is closer to home thankfully! Actually this bridge divides two ponds which are a bit smelly so it looks far nice than it smells when you are there … thanks my friend for the great words and for the favouriting!!!

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Maximus’s comment, 5 months ago

Hey Maxie – so pleased you like it mate.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Will Barton’s comment, 5 months ago
