Nicely composed - try a rough B&W version?

Yep, it's been done to death - but it still works doesn't it!

Photographing can be a bit like cooking....you may use the same ingredients, but the taste is never quite the same. Tbh, that's best I've seen of it
Keep on wondering why don't they just dismantle the whole thing.

Certainly does.
And I think the ripply reflection is better than the usual 'millpond' as it compliments the frailty of the structure ?

Best regards

Because many of us wouldn't have it to photograph anymore! You must make your way down to see it if you haven't yet before it does go in a big storm!

Thanks all for the comments!

I never seen it before so thank you!

Cost more to demolish than the scrap price of the steel. It's a good rendition of it nevertheless.

Thank you for looking and commenting

Apparently this structure will be lit up tonight - 150th anniversary of its opening!

I have seen this subject before on photos here on PU, but always from a distance. I appreciate this closer view.
