This image was captured not long after I had my second brain haemorrhage, so it brings back loads of memories, some good,some not so good. Anyway it was captured just alongside the Rochester-Strood, or Strood-Rochester Bridge, which crosses the River Medway in Kent. I can't exactly remember every exact detail regarding being there taking it, but I remember sitting in my wheelchair in the freezing cold waiting for that moment when I thought it was time to press the shutter. I did manage to capture a few more images, but this is one of my particular favourites, because of the silky look of the water. I hope you enjoy.

The real beauty in this pic is the details in shadow areas along with the golden glitters.

An excellent night time shot, the light and colours reflected in the waters of the river so beautifully captured, Nathan.
I like that slight area of mauve on the skyline centre, perhaps on a domed building?
