In my humble opinion, The Devil's Bridge is one of the most magnetic old bridges in Southern Bulgaria. As far as I know it was part of an ancient Roman route. It crosses one of the longest rivers in that part of the country, Arda river and is located near the small town of Ardino, obviously its name also has common roots with the river.
I've been here few times already, and I always put up new plans and photographic ideas as this bridge and the area surrounding it inspire me. Moreover, the county finally finished the road to it, so now I was able to park my car only few tens of meters away from it. It appears during the weekends the visit of that destination is paid but during the business days, Mon-Fri it is free.
Let me show you few of the photos I took that day, it was a moody late afternoon and evening, lots of clouds, but I am grateful for that, as an empty sky isn't the best background when speaking in terms of photography :)
The first photo is a long exposure one with Zen object in the foreground; the second is my abstract reading of a part of the bridge ;) Enjoy and thank you :)
You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have always believed that while Color Photography shows the external part of our world, Black and White Photography shows the soul, the inner hidden side of everything. Please consider the first photo of this post as my entry today to the established #monomad daily contest by @monochromes, supported by @qurator, thank you everyone for your hard and continuous efforts to build and grow this great community!

It is a very nice bridge and the reflection in a water are awesome.
Why is it called Devils Bridge though?
And there is a ghost on the second last photo!
:)
The legend, according the Bulgarian Wikipedia page, says that "Satan had a hand in the construction of the bridge. The devil promised the master to share a secret that will make his creation last eternally if he manages to complete it in 40 days. If he failed, however, he would take his soul. Dimitar (the builder) coped with the devil's task and Satan fulfilled his promise, but soon after that, the gifted master died and took the secret knowledge to the grave."
Guilty as charged, the ghost is absolutely planned for, you got me here :)))
I'm glad you've noticed that :)
That is quite the photogenic bridge. Well captured! I really like your abstract version of it. Bonus for being able to park close 😃
Thank you :) I'm glad you appreciated my efforts :)
