Ribbleshead Viaduct

Paul Iddon

Went to the Ribbleshead Viaduct with a couple of friends on Sunday (miles away from my garden, so no macro, lol). Got three images which were useable being out of my comfort zone here.

First two are of a helicopter working up there - it was transporting stone slabs to the top of the hills:





Original Edit:



Vintage Effect:




Blurred Vignette:




Old Sepia Tone:




Old Black & White:




Standard Black & White:




If there's one you prefer, or if you prefer the original, then please feel free to say.

Hi Paul, I think your 'original edit' looks the most like an 'old' colour postcard.

Cheers, Richard.

And a really well done image to boot!
Of the monochrome versions I like "Old Black & White"
How old is that structure?

Thanks gents for your comments

Eric, the first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. Ribblehead viaduct is 440 yards (400 m) long, and 104 feet (32 m) above the valley floor at its highest point.
