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.

This shot is totally awesome
I really like the angle used, and what I most love is this panoramic distortion, really adds a special effect

I think the distortion makes it look all the more surreal. Love the color of the water and the angle you used for the shot. An impressive sight. Nicely done.

Is there gold at the end of that beautiful bridge?

It looks like a rainbow through my eyes and I'd so love to run in to it and get lost!

It's GORGEOUS!!!!

Yes of-course I used f/8 iso100 10s exposure per image and a ND8 filter, stitched from 16 images but I guess you know that already .

It is! But my budget is a little limited! I'm thinking on the 40D, 50D, D300... don't really know yet!

eriksimonic In reply to Osiriseye [2008-11-11 15:59:22 +0000 UTC]

Take care

The panoramic distortion really works with this shot. It's unrealistic sure, but the composition is spiffy.
