The authorities have cleaned up the River Liffey in Dublin since I was a kid. It used to stink at low tide. I guess I have an obsession with the colourful buildings reflected in the calm waters and the curve of the iron pedestrian bridge.

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia just before the sun broke the horizon. Light from the street lamp added a nice accent to the wrought-iron curve.
Another one from yesterday's sunrise, I liked the way the sun was illuminating the bridge structure and thought it would make a great mono shot

Le pont du 25-Avril (ou pont 25-Avril) est le premier pont suspendu au-dessus du Tage, à Lisbonne, au Portugal.
En 1960, encore sous la dictature de Salazar, la décision est prise de faire un pont sur le Tage. Cette tâche est confiée aux Américains de l’American Bridge avec l’aide de onze sociétés locales1. L'acier provient de la United States Steel Export Company. Les travaux débutent deux ans plus tard et en moins de quatre ans le pont est prêt avec six mois d'avance le 6 août 1966, jour de son inauguration. Le pont est nommé pont Salazar, homme fort du pays. Mais tout de suite après la révolution des œillets, on le renomme pont du 25-Avril, jour de la révolution.

Les plans du pont du 25 avril sont inspirés du pont Bay Bridge, entre San-Francisco et Oakland en Californie. Il s'agit d'un pont suspendu ancré au sol avec tabliers à deux niveaux en poutres à treillis1. La Société américaine de génie civil mentionne que les deux ponts se trouvent dans une région avec une longue histoire de séismes et que cela a été pris en compte dans leur construction. Le pont du 25 avril ressemble également au Golden Gate de San-Francisco ainsi qu'au pont sur le Forth d'Édimbourg.
À son inauguration, le pont était le plus long pont suspendu et celui ayant la plus longue travée principale d'Europe continentale. Il avait également le plus long treillis continu et les plus profondes fondations au monde. Il était le cinquième plus long pont suspendu du monde, le plus long hors des États-Unis, et est toujours en 2008, le 19e.
Les dimensions du pont sont1 :
La travée principale est de 1012,88 mètres ;
La longueur totale du pont est de 2277,64 mètres ;
Le tirant d'air à l'endroit le plus élevé du tablier est de 70 mètres ;
Les piliers culminent à 190,47 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, ce qui fait de ce pont la deuxième construction la plus haute du Portugal ;
Le câble principal a un diamètre de 58,6 centimètres ;
Les fondations du pilier sud plongent à 79,3 mètres de profondeur.
Margaret Bridge or Margit híd (sometimes Margit Bridge) is a three-way bridge in Budapest, Hungary, connecting Buda and Pest across the Danube and linking Margaret Island to the banks. It is the second-northernmost and second-oldest public bridge in Budapest.
It was designed by French engineer Ernest Goüin and built by the construction company Maison Ernest Goüin et Cie. between 1872 and 1876, the engineer in charge being Émile Nouguier. Margaret Bridge was the second permanent bridge in Budapest after Széchenyi Chain Bridge. This bridge leads up to Margaret Island, its two parts enclosing 165 degrees with each other at the embranchment towards the island. The reason for this unusual geometry is that the small extension to connect to Margaret Island was hastily inserted into the original design but not built until two decades later due to lack of funds.

This image shows how man made objects can be used to explore and experiment with landscape photography. The sun was low enough to enhance the shadows of the arches and gentle enough not to overwhelm.

I always desired to take a photo of the Brooklyn bridge because, since I was a child, I've always seen its shape on an famous brand of an italian chewing gum. As a mythical landmark in my mind, I've ever desired to frame it by night, under his enormous span. The cold wind I've suffered has been a fair tribute for the the result achieved: in a single long exposition I've got the Manhattan Bridge and the Empire State Building decorated for XMas. The title is inspired to a famous Rolling Stones album according to the fact that in New York more than 800 languages are spoken, like in a modern Babylon.

I couldn't resist the opportunity to get out of the house with a friend last night. We went for a sunset shot but that didn't work out. Glad we stuck around though, I wasn't expecting these super reflections from the lights on the Severn Bridge.

I had to make tonight’s shot of the Story Bridge, because I just climbed it with my team from work !
From the right hand side, you climb to the top of the pillar, spending a few minutes at the top enjoying the view, down the other side, across the span to the middle of the bridge (above the blue light on the left), cross from one side of the bridge to the other (spending a few more minutes watching the cars on a 6 lane highway zipping under foot), then back up the near side to the top of the pillar again and finally back down to ground level.
A great way to watch the sun go down and the gaze into the city lights (not to mention the ferrys cruising the river - like the one responsible for the light trail at the bottom).

A shot of the Runcorn / Widnes bridge taken because I couldn't sleep in the hot hotel room; I ended up getting early and this was the result .. Can't say as I was too bothered after that, one of my personal favourites.
(Although, I've got a feeling I'll never be able to match the quality and popularity of this photo, it's kind of like my own personal Sgt. Pepper :-/ )
Its the 125th Birthday of the Forth so I thought I would post an image of the iconic bridge.
There will be a fly past today so a shame I will miss it being at work..
Three Bridges visible in this image cross the East-River; the Williamsburg Bridge, The Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground.
The Williamsburg Bridge is a suspension bridge in New York City across the East River connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn near the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City.
Connecting Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.
This image was taken from the South Street Seaport Pier in Lower Manhattan.

The old US Highway 45 Tombigbee River Bridge at Aberdeen, Ms.
Don't make a wrong turn!
Built in 1930 by the Nashville Bridge Co. Bypassed by a new bridge in 1981 when the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway was built.

Thank you for taking the time to view and comment!
Early morning on the bridge that crosses from Maryland into West Virginia. This is a railroad bridge that has the Appalachian Trail pedestrian bridge attached that crosses at Harpers Ferry.
The red light in the scene is from one of the railroad warning lights. It added some neat ambiance to the scene :)

Happy Fence Friday ... this is a nice fishing deck at Fort Armistead that has the pretty Baltimore Marine Terminal area and the Francis Scott Key Bridge as a backdrop.
The Rio-Antirrio bridge in Patra, Greece, formally named "Charilaos Trikoupis" bridge.
This bridge is widely considered to be an engineering masterpiece, owing to several solutions applied to span the difficult site. These difficulties include deep water, insecure materials for foundations, seismic activity, the probability of tsunamis, and the expansion of the Gulf of Corinth due to plate tectonics. (wikipedia)

First time I've photographed these bridges funnily enough! Weather wasn't ideal for LE work but I'll definitely be back for a moodier shot another time.
Thanks for looking :-)

"Everything was for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. The present was only a bridge and on this bridge they are still groaning, as the world groans, and not one idiot ever thinks of blowing up the bridge."
