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!

The colors in this are wonderful. The bridge is magnificent! I'm not sure how I'd feel walking over it, but looking at it is nice compensation.

The warped look makes it seem that the bridge is somehow deifying gravity. I love the colours, this photo is great

Oh my goodness... this is absolutely stunning. Everything about this is perfect. No, perfect would be an understatement. LOL I have tears in my eyes When I go to Europe, I'm DEFINITELY going there!

Everything in this photograph drew me to this, mostly the water though. Is the water naturally like that or did you use a filter to change it? It's just so... naturally beautiful

Wonderful work and congratulations on your DD!

Thank you for the very nice comment! If you are going to visit EU then this is in Slovenia,Solkan. Very near Italy. The color of the water varies from light green to this color.

At first I thought it was a deformed view with a fish eye lens Until I saw it in full view. I understood it was the shape of the river under the curved bridge. I am impressed by the amount of work for doing this wonderful panorama. Congratulations for the DD you truly deserve it

Awesome!

I love the lighting of the arches in the bridge.

I'm also impressed with the fact that it really doesn't look stitched together - as is common with panoramas!

The vibrant colors are gorgeous! The old one's more muted tones are nice, too, though.

I can't believe this is more than one picture put together. You did an excellent job!
