I had to include Morpeth Bridge in this series. Another of my favourite bridges.
This one is for Madeleine @marshwader as she said I should post a photo of it in black and white.
This is a different angle from the colour version recently posted as I didn't want to post that one again.
Some of you will have seen this photo before over the years here on 365 in black and white, selective colouring and colour and from different angles. There are so many options for this bridge, it is one of my favourite bridges in our area.
It was opened in 1898 and in 2020 was closed for essential maintenance updates so it should last for at least another 125 years now.
A beautiful shot that works really well in b&w - fav! I love the oval picture windows. I was looking at the measuring scale up the pillar. Does the water ever reach up close to the top of the scale?
@onewing This is a fascinating bridge with lots of interesting textural details and shapes. I enjoy the organic next to the brutal shapes! My only comment this time, would be to darken the top of the bridge or even crop it away. It warrants another visit I think!! Loving it anyway!
@marshwader Thanks for your comment, Madeleine but don't agree the top of the bridge needs darkening. Looked at it on my desktop, tablet and phone and the light looks ok to me. My husband looked at it on his desktop too and thought the same. Maybe your computer screen is set too light.
Not so sure about cropping out the top of the bridge, I think it would look rather disjointed at this angle. Thanks for the fav though, much appreciated. This bridge is very photogenic, and we visited there with our photo club a couple of years ago. Lots of photo opportunities in Morpeth.
@fishers Not to the top these days Ian but still prone to flooding in this area. The attached video shows Morpeth Bridge and Hinton bridge when the floods occurred in 2022. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8c7ku7
@grammyn Thanks Katy what a lovely surprise as I just got up this morning to find this photo on the tt.
I do love this bridge and always take photos of it when I go to Morpeth.

@ollyfran Thanks, sorry for the late reply but had a busy weekend and this morning I had a medical appointment. A busy week ahead too but should be able to catch up with 365 today.
@judithdeacon Thanks Judith, I love Morpeth too.
