This stunning print captures the timeless beauty of an old bridge nestled in the picturesque Wasdale Valley, located in the Lake District National Park. The bridge gracefully spans over Wastwater, also known as Wast Water, creating a mesmerizing scene that showcases the natural wonders of Cumbria, England.

The river flows gently beneath the arches of this historic structure, its waters captured in a blurred motion due to a long exposure technique employed by photographer Matthew Williams-Ellis.
