Description Solkan Bridge is a 220-metre long stone bridge over the river Soča near Nova Gorica in western Slovenia. With an arch span of 85 metres it is the second longest stone arch in the world and the longest stone arch among train bridges. It was built in the time of the Secession, between 1900 and 1906.

A poem written by ~SnowCullen

The Bridge of My Dreams

I have seen before
It's familiar but different now
Do I walk on it
The waves and curves making it difficult to understand
I have to remember
And I must see
I must see what is on the other side
My mind creating colors only few know
And ones I know all too well
For that is my nature
To see what others don't

Someone says why go
I say why stay
Because you are taking your chances
And it might not be safe
I don't worry about safe
Safe is fine for most I guess

This though is too beautiful not to cross
Not to follow
For it's better than a Yellow Brick Road
How do you describe something bathed in golden light
Flowing aqua beneath like a flow of lava
A dark blue sky like wallpaper

So
Do I stay or do I go
Go
To stay would be to never experience



Amela Ramic painted a painting from my "Dream Bridge" and I am very happy that someone like it so much.
Thank you.

Thanks to `PatrickRuegheimer for suggesting and thanks to `PorcelainPoet for the feature!

It looks like it was done with a real fisheye, rather than through stitching. Good job.

i love the s curve created on the bridge by the distortion, which is complemented by the curving river.

Thanks a lot man. I was going mad to get a great image of this bridge after many unsuccessful shots I managed to get this.

DragonDriver5 In reply to eriksimonic [2008-12-17 21:34:01 +0000 UTC]

I should have asked before, but what kinda lens were you using for all the shots and what kind of focal depth?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

eriksimonic In reply to DragonDriver5 [2008-12-17 21:39:13 +0000 UTC]

I think that I mentioned this earlier in the comments but no meter.
EOS 40D shutter was calculated for every shot but the shots ware from 10sec to 20sec exposure (16 shots )
Lens EF 16-35mm F2.8 L USM @ f8, 16mm (25mm FF)
Everything was merged with Hugin and a Stereographic projection.


Hope it helps

Wow. What an incredible bridge.

Looking at the old version as well, there's no doubt that this one is better in my view. There's a lot more vibrancy to it, more than anything, and I love the light on the bridge. The distortion, if anything, just makes it cooler if you ask me!

eriksimonic In reply to strangelight [2008-11-26 18:18:20 +0000 UTC]

Thanks yes I know that the distortion in good because it adds to the overall composition of the image. I only explained the distortion so I avoid questions about that
