Nice! I like the colour of the bridge because it's not bright red, but it's a darker shade that nicely blends with the landscape.
I got curious and had to look it up. The color is called orange vermilion. Here is what google's AI had to say about it.
Right on. Thanks for looking it up. Orange vermillion sounds poetic. I like all the thinking that went into developing it.
I can see where you got your eye for taking stunning landscape photos!
Thank you!
This one would make a great jigsaw puzzle :)
Yeah it would.
Thinking about it, it would make a great and beautiful painting.
Yes it would.
The cool thing about taking photos, the moment lives forever. 1968 is such a long time, how were you able to preserve this shot?
I bought a scanner about 10 years ago to transfer all my parents, and some of mine, 35mm slides to digital. Some were in surprisingly good shape but some did require some restoration. I have some that are back to the 1950's. :)
Goodness! Can I say you are a hoarder but in a good way?
It's the kind of shots I see on postcards... Just lovely! 😻
Yep. My dad did well on this one. :)
He certainly did! ^^
Wow, majestic!
A sight to see for sure. :)
I think this bridge is one of the most imposing in the world.
The biggest I have ever seen in person. :)
Lucky you. Someday, I hope to get the same chance.
