The story behind this image

My primary focus in photography is landscapes, showing the beauty of God's creation, especially around where I live in North Wales.

But it's not just in nature that there's beauty to be seen, as witnessed by the graceful curves and shapes of the QE2 suspension bridge over the river Dee at Shotton.

I suppose an ugly bridge would have served just as well as this much more appealing structure, but I'm so glad that planners, architects and engineers decided to create a thing of grace and beauty.

Add some God given evening light, a still river at high tide and all the elements are in place for a visual feast.
