Ha'Penny Bridge - Dublin, Ireland

[daltoned]

One of the most photographed bridges in Dublin and possibly the First Toll Bridge Ever ?.
Accepted as the symbol of Dublin, the Ha'penny Bridge (offically Wellington Bridge after the 'Iron Duke') was opened in 1816. Cast at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire in England, the bridge acquired its unofficial monniker from the toll paid to cross the river - one old half penny. The bridge was the only pedestrian bridge on the Liffey until the new Millenium bridge further up was opened in 2000.

Eddie, I just love this !!!!! It is beautiful.

Did you edit this at all. I was particularly wondering about the reflection in the water...? as it looks like a lovely peaceful day, and I thought that the reflection may have resembled this.

Many Thanks Kaye for kind comments. Image is as shot - hand held and out of the camera.
Day was pleasent with very little breeze although tide was low.
As I said, this was first outing with new Sigma lens which I got for walk about shots
and I'm pleased with the results so far.
No editing other than to resize to upload to photobucket.
Kind Regards
