The Royal Albert Bridge that spans the Tamar river on the border between Cornwall and Devon in South-West UK. / This railway bridge was opened in 1859 and was built by probably the best engineer of the Victorian era, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and is still in daily use now. / I took this shot on a cold November morning just before the sun fully came up. The town of Saltash in Cornwall are celebrating the 150th anniversary of this grand old bridge and of Brunel himself in May. For details of events please Click Here See my video on YouTube

The Lartigue railway ran the 10 miles form Listowel to Ballybunion in Co. Kerry, Ireland. It was a monorail system that much has been written about on the internet. This shot shows the last remaining bridge over what was part of the Lartigue Railway line. /

Reflections Before Sunrise Submitted for the Letter R in Alphabet Soup NEW Challenge for The Best of R Challenge The Forth Railway Bridge Queensferry Edinburgh Scotland: The 2.5 km. (1.5 mile) Forth Railway Bridge, the world’s first major steel bridge, with its gigantic girder spans of 521 m. (1710 ft.) ranks as one of the great feats of civilization. It was begun in 1883 and formally completed on 4 March 1890 when HRH Edward Prince of Wales tapped into place a ‘golden’ rivet. I love this old bridge because it brings back many wonderful memories of my childhood as we travelled across it on old trains to Burnt Island and Kinghorn for day trips. Nostalgic, I know, but I have a fascination with things that influenced my life. I was always struck by it’s sheer size and complex construction. I even tried to build it once from matchsticks and glue. I captured this picture on a cold and frosty morning in Nov 2008 when visiting my sick father in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. I’ll always remember the look on his face as I showed him this picture on my Nikon screen. He said, through his oxygen mask “WOW son, that’s brilliant!” Thanks dad!

This was taken at Gundagai and is a disused railway bridge. Gundagai is a major crossing of the Murrumbidgee River by the Hume Highway to Victoria, and the Tumut branch railway. The railway reached the town in 1886. Gundagai is a highly significant site with an excellent group of buildings and structures from the late 1880’s. In particular the relationship of the station, yard and early timber road and rail viaducts adds to the particular significance of the area. / The timber viaducts are of very high significance because of their size, their pairing and their construction as examples of an early engineering solution to crossing a major flood plain. Their national significance is recognised by listing by the National Estate. This viaduct is an example of timber bridge construction on a grand scale. A multi-span, high level viaduct of timber deck trusses and timber trestles, it is one of the most impressive structures in Australia. It dominates the crossing of the Murrumbidgee flood plain more so than the adjacent low level timber beam road viaduct. Its combination with the steel truss over the river makes for a unique technical juxtaposition of bridge types. Taken with a Canon 350D Best viewed LARGE

Abstract Macro Photography – Landscapes I got really exited when i seen this mini landscape today. / It is a large stone, part of a very large, old stone wall bearing the weight of railway tracks. / The bridge is actually got a name, which suprised me, as railway bridges dont usually get named. / The bridge is called ‘Woodhouse bridge’, and it is in Calverley, Leeds, and it runs across the ‘River Aire’ (but it does not go over the Leeds to Liverpool canal which runs parallel to the River Aire) This large stone, part of the bridge really stood out from the rest because it was blue and orange with moss growing up it, making it look very much like a clear sunny day with a bright blue sky and a forest of pine trees.

Sunrise Over Algebuckina Bridge Algebuckina Bridge is about 55kms south of Oodnadatta on the Oodnadatta Track – South Australia. / It’s a really beaut bridge as you can see. At 578mtrs it’s a pretty long bridge too. The longest in South Australia. It’s a good thing that it is a long bridge because it crosses the widest and longest river – the Neales River – on the Oodnadatta Track, not, mind you, that the Neales River often has a lot of water in it. / Algebuckina Bridge was opened in 1892 as part of the Old Ghan Railway. It wasn’t, as legend has it, originally designed for the Murray River and when found to be too short, built where it now stands instead. It was purpose designed and built for this very spot. / What isn’t an Outback myth though is the story of the wrecked car that is still there just to the side of the old track on the southern end of the bridge. It seems that the the car was stopped by a flooding Neales River. With no hope of making a crossing, the enterprising occupants of the vehicle reckoned, not unreasonably, that they could drive over the rail bridge. Bit bumpy maybe, but there is a pub at Oodnadatta and it’d be a long wait for the river to go down and the mud to dry, so, why not give it a go? / Problem was though, they forgot to check the train time table ….. / There’s a famous waterhole just the other side of the Oodnadatta Track near the Algebuckina Bridge. It’s called, you won’t be surprised to learn, the Algebuckina Waterhole. / Algebuckina Waterhole is good place to camp apparently. Not that we’d know. We decided to camp right up close to the bridge – in fact, if you look very hard you can see out campsite in this image – and we never got around to checking out the waterhole. We did get to check out swarms of very unpleasant insects, a short but wild storm, complete with thunder lightning and rain, wind, and a not very well cooked meal of curried gritty chicken and unpleasant insects. We also had to quickly put out our fire – see wind above – using dirt and sand – see gritty chicken and insect curry above. / But we did get to see the Algebuckina Bridge – the longest bridge in South Australia – in the light of a not too foul sunrise.

Taking shots of the Railway Bridge crossing the mighty River Murray at Murray Bridge South Australia. Thanks to Dave Hartley from the Mannum Motel who went with me on the night and helped me get this shot. For a better image with a wide angle lens see his image. Interesting outcome here with a slight hint of flow on the river and the yellow feel created by tungsten lighting off the nearby bridge. No moon helped create the reflective image which is rarely seen like this. My apologies to everyone who has been visiting recently and leaving comments, I have been away on holidays and with work for over three weeks now so will try and catch up on all of your images soon. Prefer not to tell people I’ll be away as you never know who’s out here on RB so often you will not hear from me for some time when work is as busy as it is at the moment. This image shot with a Canon 400D – 17-85 lens.

Ribblehead Viaduct is a railway viaduct across the valley of the River Ribble at Ribblehead, in North Yorkshire, northern England. It is the longest and most famous viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, a railway line passing through some spectacular British scenery. Ribblehead railway station is located less than half a mile to the south of the viaduct. / Designed by the engineer John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. It is 104 feet (32 m) high and spans 440 yards (402 m). It is made up of twenty-four arches. It is located at the foot of the mountain of Whernside. / The viaduct is curved, and so may be seen by passengers on the train. The train journey from Settle to Carlisle is short enough to allow the Yorkshire Dales holidaymaker to make a return day trip (steam-hauled, in the tourist season) including a few hours in the border town of Carlisle.

Originally conceived as an image to raise awareness of homeless people, I had named it “Night Out On The Town” when I made the first version of this last year. Completely reworked with textures and filters, I now offer this updated version. / My very patient wife was such a good sport to stand under this bridge on a cold, windy night. Man, she’s tolerant of my idiosyncrasies! Long exposure using available light, with minor LED light painting to bring out some highlights.
