He built the original stone bridge for his two daughters so they could get to the beach on the other side of the river Biel. Unfortunately the stone bridge was eventually washed away in a storm, but the stone foundations remained and were later reused for the new bridge. This image was taken on my second visit here. The tide was not high enough on the first visit, so I had to return when there was a tide high enough to allow the sea to cover most of the scene, but still leave the path to the bridge uncovered. I could then compose the image using the path to lead you in to the bridge, and then over it and on towards Bass Rock in the distance. There is a mysterious quality to this bridge when it surrounded by the sea, as it seems so surreal. https://www.ianmountfordphotography.com/photo23822374.html

This one stands as a dramatic backdrop to North Berwick. I took this at the same time and place as my 'Bridge To Nowhere' . It pays dividends to keep looking around you. Behind me were these clouds racing towards the sea with a break in them that was going to light up the Law. A quick spin around, the 10 stop filter removed, and I just caught it. Composition of this has been agonising and I may well post a wider version of this cropped one.
