I've come to believe that no thing, no place, and no one ever accomplishes true neutrality.
Even an achromatic photo has distinct shades of gray, black, and white.

I think this photo is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteits a wonderful pic....love old bridges....i would say bridges are neautral...no matter who you are they let you pass over them...
ReplyDeleteHow perceptive, Brian!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful tones in this one, Cheryl! I'm definitely not neutral in my love of B & W!
ReplyDeleteI agree. As a psychology professor teaching future therapists...I get on my soap box about the misconception that therapists can remain neutral...it is impossible....we are human beings...and like you said...'no one ever accomplishes true neutrality'. Love the photo and the words.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous photo. B&W was the way to go.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular photo of the covered bridge. I've got that on my Bucket list - to find and phtograph the bridges in Madison county.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! My favorite part is the large limb on the right that appears to be both in the foreground and the background at the same time!
ReplyDeleteit's incredibly beautiful. nothing neutral to me.
ReplyDeletegreat shot... and you are right!
ReplyDeleteMore than 50 shades of gray..... :-) Love the shot. The depth and contrast are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is both haunting and peaceful. LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteEerie and cool. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful photo, Cheryl. It looks almost painted with the wood and the trees.. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI hear the ghost of Ansel Adams and, surprisingly, he's not whining. Dude was always complaining about people stealing his ideas. What a shit he was.
ReplyDeleteI'm often neutral when I'm sleeping. Not always, but often.
ReplyDeleteUnless they collapse on you. Or run by a private enterprise that charges a toll. Or guarded by trolls. Then they're horribly un-neutral.
ReplyDeleteLarge limb, large limb, large limb.
ReplyDeleteHah! That sounds funny.
I love the trees in this photo as well! Beautiful contrast of the black and the white. Nice photo!
ReplyDeleteJealous?
ReplyDeleteI am with you on your thoughts on neutrality ... This picture is stunning, i love all of the shades that you have captured ...
ReplyDeleteThat was going to be my rejoinder. The north-Atlantic coast is the land of toll roads and bridges. Interestingly enough the big cities (Boston, NYC, DC, etc.) charge a fortune to cross over into their overcrowded streets but allow everyone to flee fee-free.
ReplyDeleteIn the north-Atlantic region, only those who can afford the tolls can cross the bridges. These old covered bridges used to be independently owned and the owners made a bundle on their tolls.
ReplyDeletestunning!! just beautiful
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! Wow I love B&W photography.
ReplyDeleteOf course he is. He has nothing better to do than run around making juvenile jokes on everyone's post except his own. I'm pretty sure he's really Peter Pan.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great shot, and those bridges are an endangered species.
ReplyDeleteHoly COW! This is where you live? It is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYour photo has an unreal quality. It's superb as a piece of artwork, but I can't decide whether I actually like it or not.
ReplyDeleteI like it better in its original colors. It's a much more peaceful photo. The idiotic things I'm willing to do to keep up with these confounded prompts seems to be endless.
ReplyDeleteWhat you say is true. (I'd like to see that one in its original colors.)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the original & I've attached it to this comment. Please let me know if you have any trouble seeing it.
