Viaduct - the story behind the image by hmartinphotos

Posted on February 19, 2012

A number of years ago, I was photographing on the Isle of Dogs in East London, and came across a disused section of train track. I have not idea what trains used to travel on it, and to where. However, it presented me with some very nice train viaducts to photograph.

The train viaducts seem rather random now that they are disused. They sit on a stretch of the Isle of Dogs, and seem to be a forgotten piece of history that hasn’t been torn down yet.

I am rather glad they haven’t been torn down. I was drawn to the texture of the viaduct was highlighted by the midday sun. The black & white images give a sense of the tactile essence of the brick structure.

What really caught my eye was the space cutting down the centre of the supports holding up the viaduct. They give a sense of infinity to a very solid structure.
