What a great series, Rob. The first three are my favourites I think. I especially like the flow in the first and the merging of fence line with bridge. And the tangle of trees with the bridge in the second and third is just wonderful.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. It's all too much to take in, both my eye and the camera's eye. But there's a definite drama there worth contemplating and documenting.

I'm beginning to think I like the last one most of all.

 

[Pete Askew]

It is certainly striking and it looks like the trees are trying to drag the bridge down. Number 3 for me still I think.

 

[Brian Moore]

1 and 3 for me I think. The fence line rising to meet the bridge in 1 is very appealing and the way the trees have framed bridge in 3 as well as how the angles of the branches compliment the angles of the trusses on the bridge. I like number 5 also injured rabbit but I think it would benefit from some definition of the bridge support structure. Nice set, Rob!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not getting the wounded rabbit connection, but thanks for the comments nonetheless, Brian. I'm enjoying having a new walking area.

Not getting the wounded rabbit connection,

That's funny. I was having an on-line discussion with someone a few weeks ago about favorite films. (Until now I was convinced that someone was you.) Me and that mysterious other shared an appreciation of the Bill Forsythe film Local Hero, in which there is a line, a memorable non-sequitur actually, "We have an injured rabbit, also." Ever since the first time I saw the film, must be 30 years ago, each time I hear, think of or say the word "also" I think of that line! I mentioned this to the person with whom I was corresponding and his response was "You too?" Like I said, I thought that other person was you Rob.

Heraclitus, the Ancient Greek philosopher, said we can and we cannot step into the same river twice. I rest my case.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Wow, what a fine set! I particularly like no.3, the trees look really solid, the bridge almost etherial. That is a striking effect.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Dave. I love the contrast between them.
