Featured Image: Winter at Ironbridge

This was taken back in 2010, long before the bridge was painted red. I’m not going to add to the debate of whether or not this ‘rusty’ red colour was the intended top-coat hue, or just the red-lead primer used as a base coat, but what I can say is that the act of painting the bridge relegated thousands of photographs, from photographers worldwide, into their archive folder, as they were now judged to be out-of-date. There is one way around this, though, and that is to convert the image into monochrome, which fortunately works particularly well with snow scenes, such as this.
