The Stone Arch Bridge defines Minneapolis’ skyline. Railroad baron James J. Hill built the bridge in 1883 to allow for increased movement of people and goods across the Mississippi River. The Stone Arch Bridge spans St. Anthony Falls, and served as a working railroad bridge until 1965. Shot taken from the north side of the Mississippi river.
The reason why I like this shot is because it’s a photo of a Sydney icon that many people have, but a view of which that hasn’t really been captured. I also like it because I really approached the taking of this shot correctly. From knowing the right lane to be in, to having all the settings in the camera properly preset, to having the right camera and lens ready. And then I got lucky – the cloud cover was just right to avoid blow-outs and just for ONCE there was enough of a break in traffic that cars didn’t get in the way. I know it’s not quite perfect but it’s pretty much exactly what I set out to photograph. this photo won first place in a Pentaxforums.com members competition on the theme Symmetry in February 2008. Woohoo!!
Acadia National Park has wonderful stone bridges throughout the Island. I used this one to frame this woodland view.

I met a fellow RedBubbler, Adam Mattel yesterday and we did a photo shoot together. It was a very enjoyable morning and a pleasure to meet a member that lives nearby. This is one the images captured along the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg, PA. This site was settled due to the founder Harris operating a ferry across the river. This has been my most popular image to date. It has been viewed over 900 times and is a favorite for 46 members of RB.
This is one of the many bridges crossing the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, PA. The Susquehanna is nearly one mile wide at places near Harrisburg PA. This section of the river was picked by John Harris to establish a ferry operation, thus founding Harrisburg.
Death Valley National Park – Natural Bridge. / Because you can’t have enough natural bridges, I blended two photos together in Photoshop (there is just one bridge in real life).
This is under the London Bridge Rock formation in Burra NSW. This is at the end of the road I live on, London Bridge Road. It can be found at the lower end of Googong Dam via Burra. The picture doesn’t do justice to how large it is. Unfortunately it is hard to get down there to get a good photo in good light as the gates don’t open until 8am and close off at 5pm and no one is allowed into the area even on foot other than when the gates are open. The area is quite popular on the weekend for families as there are some lovely easy walks in the area and picnic areas. It makes my quiet little road quite busy on weekends with people driving out for a trip from Canberra to explore.
Construction began on January 3, 1870. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed thirteen years later and was opened for use on May 24, 1883. On that first day, a total of 1,800 vehicles and 150,300 people crossed what was then the only land passage between Manhattan and Long Island. The bridge’s main span over the East River is 1,595 feet 6 inches (486.3 m). The bridge cost $15.5 million to build and approximately 27 people died during its construction. We loved the early morning walk across from Brooklyn to Manhattan as the sun was shining on a gorgeous December Morning. The inspirational stories of human endeavor and loss of life in building this magnificent structure are something else. As you walk across, to your left the Statue of Liberty, the gateway to America, to your right, The Empire State Building, a 1930s construction that is now the tallest building in New York. Also to the right the Chrysler Building, same period as the Empire State and probably the most ornate skyscrapper in the city. As you near Manahattan the financial district looms up on the left bank and memories of the Twin Towers halt you in your tracks as you gaze in wonder at the space they have left.
Lt. General Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Designed by William Adam, Scotland’s best architect. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today’s terms, over £1m. ”... a freestone bridge over the Tay, of five arches, nearly 400ft. in length, the middle arch 60 feet wide, the starlings of oak and the piers and landbreasts founded on piles shod with iron….” (House of Commons Journal, 7th February 1734). The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. Wade’s Bridge is a Category A listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 20861) under the care of Historic Scotland. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.

This HDR image was shot late eveing in the countryside around where I live. The image was taken under a small bridge. I rested the camera on a small boulder and using my split angle viewer composed as best as I could. I used the delayed timer rather than my cable release to fire the shutter. I love low level photography. Getting as close to the ground as possible. It gives an altogether different view of the scene. I had to shoot at 800 ISO so as to avoid camera shake. Bracketd exposure + and – 2 stops from the normal exposure. AP mode on WB setting shade. Camera used was my Canon EOS 400D with 18-55mm Lens. I used photomatix to merge and CS3 to complete.
Kirkham Medieval Bridge overlooking the Priory of kirkham, Yorkshire. / The track that leads down to the priory passes through a dense wood, twisting and winding its way down a steep hill. Glimspes of the priory came through the trees but you dare not take you eyes off the road. Finally you break out, over a level crossing and onto the narrow medieval bridge. You want to stop there to take in the view of the priory ruins nestled by the broad river. The rumble of the weir follows you around the ruins as you walk back in time. / All bridges literally connect us with something, be it a Town, a City or a Country. / A medieval bridge however connects us with time, a sense of history, the basic need to explore and reach out. / Our legacy and responsibility is to enjoy and be inspired by the medieval mason’s who created such structures of beauty and functionality that have also passed the test of time. / Kirkham Bridge, built during the pinnacle of medieval endeavour in Britain is a perfect example of the mason’s artistry set in a wonderful green Yorshire valley.
What a magical place this is Natural Bridge (also known as Natural Arch), in the World Heritage-listed, Springbrook National Park, Queensland, Australia. Over millions of years, the waters of the mountain fed Cave Creek has worn away at the basalt cave roof, to create this natural wonder. Home to a colony of glow-worms, only visible after sunset. The short hiking walk takes you through some beautiful rainforest, most of the time, you can hear the falling waters of these falls. A must see if you come to the area! Canon 50D, 14mm. Available large, and definately best viewed Large!
BEST VIEWED LARGER This shot was taken on Friday 7th August in the late afternoon, weather predictions had been for a change to hit the city. This is the result, sunset light mixing with the eerie light of the appraoching storm. The biggest challenge was holding the camera still in the 30-40 knott winds. The vantage point was from the tenth floor of a building and the light was MAGIC ! And yes twin rainbows Equipment : Nikon D300, Handheld, Nikon 18-200mm lens / Technique: 5 bracketted images processed in Photomatix with a slight tidy in Capture NX !http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/framecolor:black/framestyle:flat30/mattecolor:off%20white/product:framed-print/size:large/view:preview/3197763-2-untitled.jpg
I really enjoyed the arches well lit on this bridge and then to have the Frederick Douglas-Susan B Anthony Memorial Bridge adding asome light in the background just made this for me! Nikon D90 August 2009 / /

Taken at Springbrook National Park at The Natural Bridge on the 5th of October, 2009. The following evening we came back to view the glow worms on the cave walls, it was definitely an amazing experience (minus the stupid people shining their torches straight onto the glow worms, smoking near them and using camera flash!).
