A bridge for Cee who loved bridges and featured them in some fabulous monochrome shots. Like so many others, I loved taking part in her regular Black & White photo challenge.

Dinham Bridge over the River Teme in the Shropshire market town of Ludlow was built in the early 1800s. The castle above it had its origins nearly 800 years earlier, soon after the Norman invasion of 1066. It was one of the first stone-built castles under the new regime, sited there to keep the Welsh at bay. Over succeeding centuries it was expanded to the fortress scale whose remains we see today. As with all castles, there were doubtless many shadowy doings, conspiracies and counter-conspiracies within its walls; but its towers caught here in autumn sunshine almost have fairytale looks; so many stories those stones could tell.

November Shadows #7 Today Becky pays tribute to Cee who meant so much to so many. There are further blogger tributes at links below.
Remembering Cee 7th November Marsha Ingrao at Always Write and Dan Antion at No Facilities are hosting a day to remember Cee; Cee who inspired us with her weekly photo challenges, and was so generous with her knowledge. She embraced so many of us and is sorely missed in the blogging community she so steadfastly embraced and encouraged.
That’s the most beautiful black and white of the bridge at Ludlow, Tish. Life’s harsh sometimes xx
Thanks, Jo. Yes, indeed. We need good shock absorbers or similar.
Good to see Ludlow castle
It does look so splendid on that hilltop.

All that beautiful stone!
Yes, it’s quite something.
stunning shot
Cee would have loved this – she and Chris always enjoyed seeing English bridges
Thanks, Becky. It’s a favourite spot.
That’s a lovely bridge and a very good example of black and white photography. Cee encouraged me to explore that more often. I still can learn from her.
Many thanks, Antion. She did so encourage us all.
A majestic view
Thanks, Pauline.
A beautifully atmospheric shot that would have pleased Cee no end, I’m sure.
Thanks, Margaret.
Dear Tish
