Cellpic Sunday: Seismic Shift
Posted on November 20, 2023
I took this photograph from one of the bridges over the River Tarn in Albi, as we were walking back to our hotel. There is a weir at this point in the river and I couldn’t help but notice the effect this had on what would otherwise have been a perfectly nice, but pretty ordinary,reflection.
The old bridge in Bellac
Posted on September 22, 2023
The medieval bridge in the ‘Quartiers pittoresque’ of the town of Bellac. Taken from a riverside cafe where, unfortunately, the quality of the cuisine falls far short of the quality of the location.
Japanese Garden
Posted on July 20, 2023
The city of Toulouse, in southern France, has a number of parks, of which the Japanese Garden is one of the most famous. It’s not Monet’s Giverny, but it’s pretty good, even if the red bridge may be a little derivative.
Crossing the Forth

Driving north on the new(ish) Queensferry Crossing over the River Forth.
Crossing The Bridge

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
Posted on April 1, 2020
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.
