A long camera exposure blurs the surface of the fast-flowing Valira del Nord river as it tumbles over rocks and riverbed pebbles in the Coll d’Ordino, a beautiful eastern Pyrenees valley in northern Andorra. Square format image captured beside the Pont d’Ordino or Pont de l’Estarell, an ancient humpback bridge spanning the river just north of the hamlet of Llorts.


Llorts, Ordino Valley, Andorra: square format close view, from directly above, of clear river water from a source high in the eastern Pyrenees blurred by long-exposure photography as it flows fast over between over rocks and over pebbles. The river, the Valira del Nord, flows south to join the Gran Valira, the largest river in Andorra. This image was captured beside the Pont de l’Estarell or Pont d’Ordino, a 15th century, single-arch humpback bridge rebuilt here, stone by stone, after it had to be moved from its previous location to make way for a new road.
