for everyone

I took this picture a few years ago of my husband Leo as he walked through a covered bridge at The Historic Acadian Village. I love the contrast of the bright light shining through the cracks of the darkness of the covered bridge.

That is beautiful! I love those old wooden bridges. I also like how he is a dark silhouette against the light at the end of the bridge. :-)

That is an awesome picture! Matt and I crossed an old covered bridge last month
and I tried sooo hard to get a picture similar to this one! Unfortunately, the sun wasn't shining so bright.
Ah well. Mine is up! http://windin.multiply.com/journal/item/260/Picture_Perfect_Contrast

I love the contrast and the earth tone colors of your photo, Sharon. Excellent composition of the subject and the terrific lines of wood and lighting. Kudos on your take.

Mine won't be up till 12:01AM Friday... California time or there abouts. LOL Hope you'll stop by if you get a chance.

I finally get to see the inside of a covered bridge!! Those bridges have had me curious for so long. Thanks : ) Great contrast here... the deep shadow and bright filtered light.

I love the pattern of shadows on the bridge floor. Nice picture. Mine is up, too. Feel free to stop by.

Very nice shot. I like the dark wood contrasting with the bright light at the end of the bridge. I also like the pattern created by the filtered light coming through the cracks. Well done.
