Nature vs. Industry


Settings - Aperture Priority, 60mm, f/8, 1/160sec, ISO200, RAW

This is The Iron Bridge in a town called Ironbridge, near Telford in Shropshire. The script on it reads

"This bridge was cast at Coalbrook-Dale and erected in the year MDCCLXXIX" (1779 AD)

It is one of the most famous relics of the industrial revolution, and sits across the River Severn. Rather than just take a fairly standard picture of the bridge, I thought it was a bit more interesting to use the gaps between the grey steel, and contrast it with the lush greenery at the river banks.
