Bridge to the Sky

I took this image on a white water rafting trip on the Kali Gandaki River in Nepal. These bridges are a common sight along the river and provide a lifeline to some of the more remote villages separated by the raging water and deep gorges. Normally by pointing your camera into bright sunlight you would lose most of the detail you’re trying to capture. However in this instance I wanted to create a row of silhouettes set against the swirling cloud so this wasn’t really a problem. Although originally captured in colour I converted the image to monochrome, which accentuated the silhouettes and contrast in the cloud formations.
