Early morning by the Barwon River, Geelong and the Heritage listed Ovoid Sewer Aqueduct Bridge is reflected in the calm waters of the river. / The Ovoid Sewer Aqueduct/Walkway was constructed over the Barwon River at Breakwater in 1913-15 for the Geelong Waterworks and Sewerage Trust as part of a sewerage scheme to serve Geelong. The sewer extended south from the urban centre of Geelong to the coast at Black Rock to discharge into Bass Strait at the shoreline. The outfall sewer, which comprised a reinforced concrete pipe of ovoid shape, crossed the Barwon River at Breakwater and was conveyed across the flood plain by means of a long reinforced concrete aqueduct of innovative design. The aqueduct and sewer were designed and constructed by Tasmanian engineer Edward Giles Stone and his partner Ernest J. Siddeley. A purpose-built factory was established nearby, adjacent to the railway, to manufacture the sections of sewer pipe, with production commencing in 1912. / The aqueduct is approximately 756 metres in length and carries the ovoid sewer pipe and a walkway. It consists of a series of trusses which cantilever from fourteen concrete, corniced piers. Girders bridge the gap between these trusses. The form of the aqueduct was inspired by an overseas rail bridge design, the steel Firth of Forth Bridge, Scotland, constructed by 1890. / The Ovoid Sewer Aqueduct is of historical significance for its association with the inaugural work of the Geelong sewerage scheme in 1912-15. Geelong was one of the first regional Victorian cities to implement plans for the construction of a sewerage system. / The Ovoid Sewer Aqueduct is of aesthetic significance as a major landscape feature. Its dramatic setting in the Barwon River floodplain near Breakwater, Geelong is of great importance. Pentax K20D Camera.- S.Speed 1/8 Sec @f22, ISO 200 / Edited in ACDSee Pro3.

In the south-west of France, Cathar country, is the bridge crossing the river Blau at Camon /
You may wonder what I mean with this title, but it is easy enough once you realize that this is another shot taken on 23rd September 2007. Yes, on that day I crossed the bridge to 64. Not a bad start, I can say, looking back now to this lightful morning and the weeks and months after that. Again taken on the grounds of the country-house Groeneveld near Baarn in the Netherlands.

Bridge over the Carrowbeg river in the gardens of Westport House, Mayo, Ireland
Looking downstream towards Clare Bridge on the River Cam in Cambridge UK.
This bridge is in Killin in Scotland – the river comes tumbling down over a series of rocks dropping downwards till it goes under the bridge.
On a recent trip to the North Yorkshire coast and moors, I met up with my fellow Redbubbler and wonderful friend Paul McGuire. He and I made plans to go and capture a sunrise one morning that week. After capturing the wonderful colours of the morning at Ravenscar, along Trail Acorn, we moved on to see what shots we could capture at a place that Paul knew about. It was a beach known as Smugglers Cove further back along the coast line. We had to travel a fews miles back and park at an out of the way pub, from which we hiked along a very old path engulfed in old twisted trees and stone paved paths which eventually met up with the well known Trail Acorn. We eventually found the secluded beach with the beautiful waterfalls flowing over the cliffs and into the sea. But before I show you those, I wanted to share this lovely scene of the bridge under which the small stream, the Hayburn Wyke flows. This was taken just above the falls and taken very low and looking up to the bridge which connects the walking path over the stream. There is something magical about this place. To get this shot, I had to jump across the small stream to the rock on the other side. The only problem was that it was very slippery. On my way back across, it was a tense moment when I thought I was going to fall into the water. I escaped getting wet by inches. Wheew!

While this is just the little bridge leading to the country-house Hilverbeek at ´s-Graveland/The Netherlands which is not very conspicuous in bright daylight, the atmosphere of a misty June morning makes it look like the bridge into some eerie mystery. Don´t you feel a certain shiver when thinking about what might expect you on the other side? ´s-Graveland, 7th June 2008, 5.56 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 65 mm / F 5, 1/15, ISO 400

Parque Nacional de Los Glaciales, El Chalten ( Argentina ) ! After hiking a few hours I came across this beautiful scene, at least for me. Although I could feel like a sense of desolation at the same time I loved the scenery in front of me. / It may look a quite a simple shot.. and it was… but I was so exhausted that I really struggled to take my camera and press the bottom. / I think I could have taken fantastic pictures here just my body and my mind were too tired !

I have 136 shots in my bubble and have had 3612 views but only 78 scattered favoriting’s. / Am I doing something wrong or is it just that they aren’t worth being a favorite? I hope everyone understands my dilemma. When I see a shot that really captures my eye or one that I love, I favorite it. I have favorited 244 pictures, and trust me, they were definitely worth it, they are beautiful works! / How does it work with everyone else? I’m not trying to build myself up but I’m still learning and it’s always better to ask as there are no dumb questions only dumb answers : ) / P.S. / If you think I’m just being silly, tell me to shut up! LOL
Pastel on Colourfix paper (Terracotta) – 70cm x 50cm Myself and a friend sat beside the Goulburn on a glorious morning and painted this scene. She used watercolour whilst I used pastel. After a BIG morning’s work we went to a nearby restaurant for some lunch. I wondered why I was receiving strange glances, and then Liz pointed out that I had pastel around my eyes and a few streaks around my neck and that I resembled a giant panda!!!! I am slowly forgiving her! She could have told me before we went in! The Goulburn Bridge, which is constructed of timber, has fallen into disrepair and has been the subject for many paintings by our local art group. There were rumours that it would be demolished! We held an exhibition last year devoted to the bridge, to raise funds for its conservation. There are now plans to add it to the walking track which runs beside the river. After I got it framed I hung this painting in the restaurant, and it sold within a few days. Featured in the ‘Contemporary Pastel Painters’ group – March 2009
