Re: View from the bridge

I was trying to get a shot of the sunset from this bridge the other day when these guys rode into view:
Bridge 01.jpg

Unfortunately the sky didn't redden as much as the previous evening (when I didn't have my camera :roll: ):
Bridge 02.jpg

And the following day I took this one of the rather charming Brecon wharf:
Bridge 05.jpg

fausto.

Now then, how come when I get my images just down to within the 250k limit they come out so small, while other's seem to be a decent size in the postings?

Does this count? This is a Dutch snail near Bloemendaal in the NL climbing it's own span bridge onto my bike. After a fierce sandstorm and torrential rain during the night even the molluscs were hitching rides to get the hell outa there! Image

Well that certainly counts as one of the decent-sized shots I was referring to. :D

The images are hosted elsewhere then inserted using code, rather than uploaded as an attachment.

What's happened? The humour is lost on me [emoji39] I posted while on my iPad through Tapatalk. Has it come out weird your side?

Out this morning down on the Bere Peninsula and passed by Bere Ferrers station.
This was the site of a terrible accident involving NZ troops in 1917.

I take it you have adhered to the true spirit of this theme and that your bicycle is in the photograph, lashed somewhere up at the front end (bow?).

:D I really like it, though I need to lower the gearing before I carry much load on it. And I'm attempting to break in a Brooks, so I'm not yet entirely comfortable on it. But yes, it suits me :D :D

And (!)new bike(!) hasn't worn off yet. :mrgreen:

Yes, of course.
Can't you see it?

Oh dear, it's been washed away. :oops:
