08-09-04 towering above its waters sublime

I had a meeting in Edinburgh today with KPMG.
Up at the crack of dawn to catch the train.
And then straight home afterwards to watch the Scotland game.

Took this leaning out the window,
worrying about impending death any minute
visions of meeting an oncoming train!

This is of course a photo of the silvery Tay.
The quote is from a poem, on the same subject.

I was just lucky it was so calm!

Perfect reflections of the clouds and great perspective.

It's so beautiful Dominic! The reflection is awesome! You so very lucky to be able to see this!

Great job, Dominic. What about making a project out of shooting the Firth of Forth bridge? Get yourself a extremely wide angle lens, find the perfect perch, wait till sundown, have your tripod and exposure set up and BOOM!

SO VERY COOL! Love this one alot! THe sky, the reflection....I can't say anything eloquent here, I'm too tired, but I have looked at it twice and really like it!

I'm stunned at the immensity of this image. The bridge AND the sky seem to be infinite.. excellent photograph, Dom

Dominic which way is up...?? This is perfect & perhaps worth placing yourself in danger...well, maybe not all the time !!

simply gorgeous.

Wonderful shot! The reflection of the clouds is wonderful!

Guest		08-Sep-2004 21:41
Hello, hello, hello. Cracking shot there! And from a moving train... The Tay looks a lot nicer with a good reflection rather than it's normal silver tone.

Guest		08-Sep-2004 21:40
Very Good. Wonderful reflection and colors.

Guest		08-Sep-2004 21:29
