Dog Jump, Minnowburn Autumn 09

Minnowburn Beeches, near the river Lagan in South Belfast, on a sunny autumn morning in mid November.

Today the sun is shining through the beautiful foliage of the trees and onto the old stone bridge. This is probably the point when Minnowburn is at its best for the year.

In the distance, a man and his dog are out for a walk. The dog is just jumping off the bridge... thankfully onto the path! Unfortunately the exposure time meant the dog is slightly blurred.

I like here how the sun shining on the bridge really brings out the texture of the stonework.
