Dreich - Adjective: cold, wet and dull (weather).

[Douglas McMann]

As photo's of "the bridge" appear to be popular just now, thought I'd chuck one in....

Canon 30D with Mir-1B 37mm lens.

Now, where is that? Looks familiar

A fine shot on a dreich day, right enough.

We've had "The Meaning Of Dreich" on RPF before: http://realphotographersforum.com/forum/threads/the-meaning-of-dreich.11446/

Nicely chucked Dougie. I have learned som many new words on RPF!

That's a fine shot, Dougie. On my screen it looks like it has some kind of shimmery or OOF effects on the finer portions of the cantilever cross-bracing. Perhaps its the mist that gives that look? One of the things that appeals to me here is the old "look" to this fotie. It could pass for a 19th C image.

Thanks Brian....and yes, I see what you mean...but viewed at full size on Flickr, you can see it's actually the fact that the cross bracing is made up in a box-section, and has bracing within itself...almost like a fractal really...

Very good one Douglas which reminds me of my trip there and my attempts of getting it right. You did though.
