[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
The oldest one arch stone vaulted bridge still in use in Finland is located in Espoo close to Espoonkartano Manor. It is from year 1777-1778 and is 17.2 meters long, 5.6 meters wide and the opening is 2.7 m wide.
The bridge place was already belonging to the middle age coastal road between Turku and Viipuri. This bridge was built when Gustav III, the king of Sweden visited Espoonkartano Manor (found 1556).

In WS a closer view of the bridge.

The river running under the bridge is Mankinjoki river, which you can see in my 2nd TE photo taken in March and partly snow covered here.

Hei Lasse,
I like that old bridge and the beautiful colors of the treas. That river looks wild and pure.

Hello Lasse,a lovely autumn shot as the leaves begin to change colour.The fallen tree with its mossy coat seems to bring the shot together.
Lovely textures and natural colours.
Good sharpness too,tfs.
Regards Jean.

I am surprised at the age of the bridge.

Hej Lasse,
An excellent picture and you have certainly chosen a very fine place to take this photo., so we can look through the arch and see the beautiful colours of the other side as well. Very fine and sharp capture. I wonder how many TE viewers know that this was originally a Swedish bridge :-) I also appreciate that you promote your 2nd TE photo, that photo deserves a wider recognition!

Hi Lasse

Mickaël

Ciao Lasse,
immagine molto ben eseguita, grazie alla scelta di un buon POV.
Il ruscello che scorre sotto l'arco del ponte, e gli alberi vestiti d'autunno, donano alla tua foto, un senso pittoresco.

Well done!
Francesco

Ciao Lasse,
The photographers, in Finland, are more fortunate than the Italian photographers, because the autumn starts before, and they has the possibility to capture in advance these beautiful images. The construction of the image is done very well, with many pleasant elements, in the forms and in the colors. I also like the WS with the beautiful bridge of stone. Bravissimo!
Ciao e buona notte
Paolo

Lasse,
This is a fine fall color shot. The stream leads the eye into the shot nicely giving the photo a nice sense of direction. The angle of the shot is great providing depth for the scene. The lighting and colors are greta with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Lasse. A faultless shot with its excellent POV, great clarity and fine light.Natural feel to it all-with no deceptive cosmetics. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Lasse, very nice nature photo and excellent composition! Only the slow speed shutter can be better.

Hei Lasse,
Quite interesting trivia. A pity that those railings look too modern. Autumn colours look so good, and on a location like this shady light works well. On sunshine highlights might get uncontrollable. Water flow looks really good too, and thus I prefer this compared to WS.

Hej Lasse,
An other favorite motive for me an many others are old stone bridges.
- They are in general very beautiful from an architectural POV.
- They usual have streaming water under them that give life to the photo
- They are such a strong symbol for friendship and peace (think about the Mostar one)

This particular one has a lot of qualitys, time of the year, exposure, part of the comp works very good.
maybe I would have used a bit lower POV to get more of the rocks in Fg and not so much of the sky that disturbs a bit between the branches. and then it's always interesting to make experiment with exposure time in this kind of photos.
hälsar Anders

Hi Lasse,
without the railing it would have been like a painting from the golden age. I like your POV and the moody colours of autumn. The water flow is very beautiful. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hi Lasse,
old stone bridges are fantastic, and this one is no exception. Impressive wide and solid in a beautiful autumn landscape. You have really captured a nice atmosphere here.
Best regards

Hi Lasse,
It's another beautiful view of that river and forest. I like the low POV and the way you placed the bridge and the trunk covered of green musk above the rocks. The light coming from above trough the yellow leaves is wonderful. Very good exposure management, avoiding UE below and OE above keeping a good contrast doesn't look that simple.
Regards, José.

Hi Lasse!
It is really autumn shot. Gloomy stones and old bridge emphasize coming of autumn. Very good composition.
Best regards.
Vitaly
