ALT A winter image taken from a drone high above Bennerley Viaduct. The sky is vivid blue with wispy clouds, the fields and trees are brown. The viaduct crosses diagonally from bottom left towards middle right, a straight line in the landscape, with the lattice piers visible beneath. In the distance you can just make out the buildings of Ilkeston.
