The Forth Bridge is probably the most photographed subject in Scotland. And rightfully so, it has a history dating back to the 19th century, and remains a civil engineering and cultural icon for country. It is only in recent years that I have decided that it is fair to go back, time and time again, to photograph it. You�d think that any subject would be subject to overkill when it comes to photography, but not so with this structure. I think the reason is that it just looks so good in pretty much all types of weather, as illustrated with this image. I had decided to drive over from the west of Scotland, knowing full well that it was a �dreich� day. I knew that I would get a shot, but that I would have to wait for it. Wait I did; and eventually the clouds lifted just a little to reveal the main structure, while shrouding the rest of the bridge. It was just the shot I was looking for, even in black and white.
