Tas-Richmond Bridge circa 1823

This is the heritage listed Richmond Bridge, over the Coal River, Richmond, Tasmania.
Built 1823 - 1825 by convict labour out of sandstone.
This is the oldest bridge in Australia still in use today.

Very nice captures, M.A! Especially like the first! Beautiful colours, texture and composition. It's like a fairy-tale land.

Thanks JAS :) It was a cold but beautiful morning.

okay I was sure I replied but I must have screwed up. :shrug:

I absolutely adore the second photo. The whole photo is about symmetry: horizontal and vertical. :1st:

Cool, thanks Bambi :)

I have other shots of this location but didn't want to saturate you with too many at a time :)

Reminds me of the pictures I've seen of Roman bridges. I guess if the design works keep using it. I like the glow in the arches in the second photo.

Thanks Q1 :)

A couple more shots from here ...
