Waiting for the Troll

Waiting for the Troll

Bridges in mist always remind me of the Billy Goat Gruff story!! This was taken at Cherrybrook on the northwestern side of Sydney earlier this week – another early morning misty excursion.

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

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

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

  • Bootiewootsy

    Bootiewootsy

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

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

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

  • Deidre Cripwell

    Deidre Cripwell

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

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    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.

    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.

    A Fairy Tale Image, Rosalie !!! Like a fine wine, you just keep getting better and better, R. !!! This is a sheer delight to behold, I could sit and gaze at it for hours. Well worth getting up early for !!

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    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!!!
