My Corner of New Hanover
Bridge Over Swamp Creek-Oblique View

Another shot of the old stone bridge, but from a slightly different angle.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Neat view! Although I know you've said otherwise, this photo gives the impression that the bridge is far from anyplace/anything modern. Imagine the clip-clopping of horses hooves as they pull a stagecoach across it... It's wonderful when the camera can focus on a piece of history without any "new-fangled" distractions. That big sweeping curve carries your eye across the image to the other two arches of the bridge. Nice shot.
