The deeply-grooved narrow footpath across the ancient Packhorse Bridge in Wycoller, Lancashire, in the North-West of England. This bridge is believed to be approximately 800 years old.....see next photo (in photostream) for full details. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The ancient Packhorse Bridge in the hamlet of Wycoller in Lancashire, North-West England. This bridge is one of three ancient bridges in the village and is believed to date from the 13th century (according to the museum located nearby). The village itself, which is now part of a Country Park has existed for more than 1000 years. The footpath across the bridge is deeply grooved (see next photo) caused by approximately 800 years of use and both arches are leaning slightly sideways. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

Brierfield town centre at night, photographed with the camera's white-balance set to "daylight" in order to bring out the colours of the different types of artificial lighting in the scene. This often results in some unexpected effects....for example, the green structure on the left (a war memorial) is actually illuminated by lights which, to the human eye, appear almost colourless. The Christmas tree and the street lights are the same as they appear to the naked eye whilst the shop lights on the far right have a yellowish appearance, although they are actually green & white. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The packhorse bridge in the Pendle village of Wycoller. This bridge is one of three ancient bridges in Wycoller and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The footpath over this bridge has been eroded by centuries of use (mainly by clog-wearing hand-loom weavers in pre-industrial times) and is deeply grooved. Both arches are leaning slightly sideways as the result of many years of heavy use.
