Exposed (not rude)

The bridge has been exposed due to very low water levels in a local dam (40%)


Amazing how the timber survives after being submerged since the early 50s


they trim the tops off the emerging timber to make it safe for skiing but this has gone to far.

Timber survives in a dry atmosphere and underwater. It rots where the two meet.

Nice shots 😀

It is nice to see these ☺

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a closer shot of the bridge, would be interesting to it it clearer?

Don, you should document this behaviour, and the effect it has on the landscape with a series of photographs. I would really like to see the dam too.

Good documentary images Don.

Best regards

A couple more of the1st bridge posted closer in.

Thanks, yes! The bridge really has survived well despite being submerged. It would be interesting to compare your photos to some of the area before it was flooded. Do you know when the reservoir was built, i.e. how long the bridges have been submerged?
I remember looking at Haweswater here in the Lake District when the water level dropped very low and remains of old buildings in Mardale Green village reappeared.

Nice! The tree posts have so much potential! In my minds eye I'm thinking mono long exposure!
