My post from the other day on the sunset over the Rideau Canal got me thinking. I've taken many shots either from on this bridge, or of the bridge and its surroundings. The Bank Street Bridge crosses the Canal, emerging from the Glebe on the north side and going into Old Ottawa South on the south side. This evening shot of the bridge is from my archives. Water in the Canal has been lowered for the season.
Many of you know Stefan from Photos from Haninge. Stefan regularly features images of a specific tree in his area, this being his most recent post. Given that I've already got quite a wealth of pics of or from this bridge, I've decided to make this location a recurring theme. The bridge offers up plenty of photo ops in any season.
Brilliant !
ReplyDeleteLooking at something from a different angle is always interesting.
cheers, parsnip
This photo is marvellous ... how light is reflected in the river !...
ReplyDeleteIt's great, is professional, of course!
Tomás.
wow!! I could gaze at this photo a long time
ReplyDeleteI like the reflections too
Interesting shot. It's fascinating to look at the same place or thing at different times and from different perspectives.
ReplyDeleteBank Street runs from Wellington Street to Tim Hortons? How many kms has approximately ?, Is a curiosity.
ReplyDeleteI follow Stefan's blog and enjoy every posting of his old tree. I think you can have a lot of fun with the recurring bridge theme. Keep on clicking.
ReplyDeleteSetting yourself a possily onerous task here, William. Mighty big shoes to fill ...
ReplyDeleteI nearly always enjoy lights of bridges reflected on water.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice photo of the light under the bridge.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, William, I like the colours and the reflecting lights.
ReplyDeleteI like this magical shot!
ReplyDeleteVery nice evening shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea William.. this shot with the arches lit from underneath is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe lights look so lovely in the dark.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, William, to make this location a recurring theme.
ReplyDelete@Parsnip: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Tomas: thank you.
@Jen: so did I.
@Mike: given that I cross that bridge most days, it seems an ideal recurring theme.
@Tomas: it runs very, very far before it changes its name. I think it carries on all the way down to the St. Lawrence River.
@Andy: thank you!
@Julie: quite true, Stefan's been at this awhile!
@Revrunner: we have no shortage of bridges here.
@Marianne: thanks!

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of some of the images I've seen of the bridges in Paris at night.
ReplyDeleteNow that's the first bridge I've seen with lights underneath. I'm sure there will be many good shots from this location.
ReplyDeleteI like this bridge shot.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. I like seeing the changing seasons and the contrasting beauty that each holds.
ReplyDelete@Luis: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Tex: the light beneath the bridge is one of the things that attracts me to it.
@Jackie: thank you!
@Norma: I can see that.
@Red: and in many seasons.
@Birdman: thank you.
@Judy: the bridge and its surroundings offer a lot of different opportunities for that.
A beautiful image, with very nice reflections!

ReplyDeleteGood choice for a recurring shot, I look forward to seeing it in all seasons.
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection and blue color
ReplyDeleteFrom this angle the lights look the open jaws of a big water creature. Like your inspiration from Steffe's pictures of the Old Tree.
