Bridge Reflections
On this bridge as a boy scout I saw a ghost, from then it became special, almost ethereal in my eyes. The sight of such an unexplained event inspires and triggers the imagination of a young boy to life.
I still look at this bridge and wonder which realm the spirit came from and what secrets are held in every arch and brick of this unique structure. In the soft early morning light, the reflections shimmer on the water like ripples through time, stirring the souls of those who have passed over the bridge, and passed across dimensions.
This is not just a bridge over a piece of water it is a bridge which spans time, space and maybe spirituality, to me it is the bridge of faith and belief, a bridge of discovery and imagination, a bridge of light and life, a true contender for the most beautiful bridge in the world. To me it is already a winner, it moved and inspired me it helped to make me what I am today, what I believe and what I feel.
Alance Bridge this is my entry as the most Beautiful Bridge in the world.

Very special treatment, certainly embraces your philosophy about the bridge. So glad a ghost spurred you on, instead of perhaps having the opposite effect! I’m very envious, I’ve never seen a ghost, and rather believe I lack the capacity that some of us really do have to see those guys.
Paul Gibbons replied
This photo is ‘as is’ no treatment at all. Thanks for the great comment.
nadine henley
very neat photo, paul

As I first looked at this, I saw Miss Elizabeth Bennett walking across the bridge, annoyed that her cousin, Mr Collins, was tagging along. Ghost, imagination … either way, it is so lovely and conjours more wonders. Beautiful image!!
