The Bridge

Not the Øresundsbroen Bridge, from the television series of the same name, not even the Forth Rail Bridge, jst a little bridge on the edge of our village. It was a bridge I crossed often as a child, as my friends grand parents stayed on the other side. It is nothing special to look at, a single track hump back bridge on a country road but to us it was a magical place; a place of enchantment for as very young children we were told it was called The Fairy Bridge and that indeed there were fairies that guarded it and protected those who had need to use it.

As you can imagine with such a story attached we as young children spent many happy hours, searching for the fairies to no avail obviously but looking back it was a beautiful way to spend long summer days, ahh the memories of childhood...

I hope you enjoy the shot
