Portrait of Harringworth Viaduct 1 – Monochrome
.
One of the things I’ve learnt about myself since I started Photomania is that I like to really explore the character of something, whether it be an old barn, a shipwreck or in this case a Viaduct .
To explore the shapes, textures, angles and how they relate to the environment around them.
So these photos of the Viaduct are just the first in what will be a series about it which I shall post from time to time. I hope you’ll enjoy exploring it with me.

Love the angle here. It certainly adds to the height and depth in the shot. Great photos.
Thanks David, that was exactly what I was aiming for ..
Nice images. I love old Victorian architecture too – Balcombe Viaduct was my recent favourite!
Oh yes I know Balcombe Viacuct as I lived in Sussex many years ago Richard..
Great photos Helen! 🙂
I’m finally catching up again on blog posts. Thanks for your patience! 🙂
Thanks Eof… I know how hard it is to keep up!
It is interesting to notice the contribution of the shadows in these images, especially in the first where the vertical edge emphasises the angle.
Thanks Louis that was my intention so it’s gratifying to have it noted 🙂
I absolutely LOVE these, Helen.
Great angle.
Thanks Stevie… Look out for more shots of this magnificent structure.
