Crossing the Forth

Driving north on the new(ish) Queensferry Crossing over the River Forth.
Crossing The Bridge
Posted on October 17, 2021
You could, of course, drive any of the vehicles in this image, but there is no doubt that the real star is the already iconic Forth Crossing that links Edinburgh with the Kingdom of Fife.
Complexity

This close-up of a small part of the infrastructure of the Sydney Harbour Bridge gives some idea of the intricate complexity of the steelwork.
Bridge at Gargilesse
Posted on January 6, 2021
Cee’s theme for her Fun Foto Challenge this week is ‘bridges’. This image certainly includes a bridge, crossing the river in the village of Gargilesse, in central France.
To be honest, though, I think far more interesting is the ‘tie-dye’ lens flare in the top right corner.
Not for the faint-hearted

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is iconic. It’s possible to take a guided tour of the superstructure, as these hardy souls have. No thank you: sea level is just fine with me.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Connect
Posted on March 24, 2020
Frank’s theme for his Tuesday Photo Challenge this week is ‘Connect’: a poignant topic in the current times.
This image was taken from a hill on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Look carefully and you can see all three of the bridges that connect Edinburgh to the Kingdom of Fife.
Oh, and that white thing in the air on the left is an aeroplane. Remember them?
The Old Stone Bridge at Sainte Radegonde
Posted on November 8, 2019
The River Vienne is comparatively narrow as it flows between the villages of Sainte Radegonde and St-Germain-de-Confolens and it’s crossed by a very old stone bridge. Look over the side and you’ll see that the roadway is supported on a number of pontoons, such as this one.
Bridge of shadows

Bright sunshine in Cahors casts the shadow of the Pont Valentre onto the weir beneath it.
Bridge over the Vienne at Chabanais
Posted on August 17, 2018
The ironwork of the main road bridge across the River Vienne in Chabanais is perfectly mirrored in the water on an exceptionally clear, still and sunny day.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Build
Posted on November 28, 2017
What you see here is one of the towers of the new Queensferry Crossing road bridge across the Firth of Forth just outside Edinburgh, while it was under construction. That should qualify for Frank’s theme of ‘Build’ for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge.
Considering that this photograph was taken with a mobile phone through the window of a car travelling at 50 mph – over the old road bridge – I don’t think it’s too bad.
This is what the finished article looks like; it’s stunning:
