Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Ooooooh, beautiful winter scene. Almost all black and white--so true of winter.
Would love to have a walk on this kind of bridge, seems very peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful shot!
The streaks of sunlight add a lot to the photo. Nicely done.
Nicely done.
I admire bridges in of every form and shape, and you caught this one very well with an interseting and difficult lighting.
notice the sun burst in the pic. makes the shot more interesting
I like the light over the little bridge.
Great place to have a bench! I love how the sunlight stream into the photo!
Enlarging this I found the stone wall in the shadows.
From your description I think this would be a wonderful walk in any season.
Nice shadows!
Mine’s here: Round The Bend.
The shadows are elegant. However, the sun's rays are powerful and extend to the ground. A lovely sight, the sun and shadows interacting in a vision of beauty. Nice!
looks great in monochrome
I love the bridge! And what a terrific capture! Love the suns rays! Hope you have a great weekend, Dimple!

Beautiful shadows and sun-rays.
i love the bridge - excellent photo!
The black & white makes this shadow shot all the more enticing. I want to walk the path with my pooches and take a seat on the bench!
I almost didn't see the bench, probably because my eyes wer drawn to the bridge, pathway and shadows.
Looks like a place I might wander on a sunny warm afternoon, I like it in B&W!
Great shot---I can see the sun rays that create your
great shadows!
Happy SSS to you.
It looks like a very pleasant spot, and all that sunshine warms up even the coldest winter day. ~ Calico Contemplations

Nice shot dimple. I like the atmospheric mood. BTW, the Molly widget thingy is too big and overlaps your photos.
dear dimple..i think that this bridge looks very romantic...leading to a restaurant.for a hot cup of tea and a toast..or is the restaurant more on the fancy style.
no matter..it would still be nice!
i love black and white pictures.
that is the only kind we had when i was a kid of 12 and beginning to snap pictures of my family...on a old browny 620 camera...love terry
Such a very wonderful bridge! :)
