About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a narrow, mossy stone bridge over a shallow stream. The water is calm, reflecting the trees and rocks around it. Tall, leafless branches lean over the bridge, creating a dark tunnel of shadows. The bridge’s rough, uneven stones look old and worn, with patches of lichen clinging to them. The scene feels quiet and still, like a forgotten place in nature. Next, look up Boissonnas, Fred (1858-1946) to see more of his work.
