New perspective on a bridge

Almost every day I bike over an old railway bridge. It’s pretty! But bridges are never the prettiest seen from above. You need to be next to them to properly appreciate them. And I had decided several weeks ago that I should one day get off my bike and check this one out. 

I finally did it! One day riding back home I decided to stop. And it is indeed a gorgeous bridge! The field I ended up in (via a public footpath) was very soggy in the lower parts, so I didn’t go there, but that left enough opportunity for admiration. And I figured I’d have to come back one day in the morning. Then the sun would be behind me, which would make things even better. And I’m sure spring will hold many sunny mornings!
