One of the only upsides of the lockdown is discovering beautiful areas of the country and seeing some great architecture. The Welland Viaduct (or as it’s sometimes known as the Harringworth Viaduct or Seaton Viaduct), is one such highlight near where I live. It carries the railway across the valley of the River Welland between Harringworth in Northamptonshire and Seaton in Rutland.

I decided the best way of photographing this incredible construction was from the air and hence I launched my drone. Taking the photograph in the late afternoon when the shadows were extended added drama to the image. I think the result speaks for itself.
