Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 26 6:56 am)
Here is another one at the V&A Waterfront. This one is a pivot pedestrian bridge which swings out of the way for yachts and vessels going into the dry docks. I timed the shot as the bridge swung past me to get it head on. The concept is similar to myrrhluz Manhattan Island bridge.

Oh my goodness - in just 24hrs I have missed so much!!!
@ Clive - Oh I do so recognise those bridges at the V&A!!! Wonderful images! I love the night shot and the timing on the second one is perfect!
@Tom - LMAO - Come on! Be a sport and photograph and post your dental bridge!!!
Well done everyone!!!

Oh Clive - this is precious and spot on! I LOVE the image. Cute little self made bridge and the bee is a star! I initially thought you photoshopped it in! Just marvelous!

The bridge is over Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This area was made infamous by a battle in the Civil War in America known in the north as Antietam(named after the creek as was custom) or after the nearest town, Sharpsburg in the south(as was custom).
I always feel a tear at my heart and a tear in my eyes when considering these terrible battles. This one September 17, 1862 produced the bloodiest day in American combat history with over 23,000 casualties. All were sons of what was the same country prior to the war.
I will put up a bridge from a new photo soon as I get one.

Since I really HAVE tried with new shots of bridges, but only came up with one, I have desided to show you two older shots of bridges. Here is one from the looong bridge from Zealand to Funen in Denmark. Storebæltsbroen.I have a good friend who is from The Netherlands. She tells me that in Dutch there is a device called a "little donkey bridge." It's an aid for remembering things. Like if you want to remember something and you "attach" that memory to something else ... you know how you do! LOL! When they do that they call it a little donkey bridge. Linking one thing to another.
Now how on earth would I take a photo of that?
It makes me wonder if there any sayings in different parts of the world that employ the idea of a bridge ...
I'm loving all the bridge pics! Excellent work, everyone!

Wonderful bridge representation one just as compelling as the other and Tara's memory to remembering bridge, awesome. A wonderful challenge, that i'm excided to be a part of, thanks to each one for their thoughts and posts looking forward to the rest of the month and the world of bridges not yet represented. Trying to decide which one is my fav. but it's like comparing apples to oranges there so deverse each one with it's on outstanding features soooooooooooooooooo I have to say I like them all. I know that's a political statement but that's my story and I'm stickin to it, LOL :-).

Tom and Helle - Most wonderful images! The "old" bridge and postwork hits a cord Tom!
That LARGE bridge is pretty impressive Helle and the little wooden 'remember"' bridge is adorable!
Well done all!

This bridge is located in the city of Cuenca (Spain). One of the most representative monuments of the city.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Its opening was held on January 9, 1972 and its author was the engineer John Batanero. It was designed in the late sixties, to solve the traffic problem, which began to saturate in the north of the city. He was also the first in Spain with bracing system and one of the few with steel deck. Is 23.5 meters in height for the passage of ships, being fixed. It is equipped with lifts from its base in the hamlet of La Salve, at the end of the Campo de Volantín. Along with this bridge, on the left bank of the river, is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It is also curious to see how the architect of the museum wanted to integrate, in a sense, this bridge in the same building, for this purpose and on his left side, as viewed from the Campo de Volantín, a tall tower with access stairs Museum, which is on the right.
@alida - Well, this one certainly is stunning. Great image and thank you for shring with us.
@makron - Lovely bridge and great idea of the architect to integrate it with the Guggenheim Museum.

I finally got a little time today to go bridge hunting. Found this one between bouts of rain. I would have wandered over to where one can walk over it too but the rain was threatening again and I didn't have my umbrella (left it in the car as I wandered off to get this shot) so I had to pass on that.
Hopefully tomorrow will be brighter and less wet so I can wander some more.
They say a picture is
worth a thousand words...
So where do they go when a photograph leaves you
speechless?
Oeee - that B&W bridge is lovely. It looks like a barrage. Wonderful shot and thank you for sharing!
@Werries - looking forward to you joining in the fun!

@ Werner - WOW - spectacular bridge and I remember the views from there. Excellent POV and thank you for sharing.
@ Tunde - Love the underside of that wooden bridge. It does look a tad delapidated! The shadow of the 2nd bridge is such a fresh approach and a great POV. Th Sudney Harbour bridge - well - always a stunner. Thanks Tunde!

@ myrrhluz - great bridge captures and both so very different. Is the New York bridge a floating one of some sort or does part of it swing out to let boats past?
@ Tara - beautiful green bridge and love your composition! The flowers in the foreground work so well as they lead the eye into the pic.
@ Clive - lovely night shot of this illuminated bridge!
has anyone when commenting on images in the gallery, whilst writing "great shot" hit the "i" key instead of the"o" (which are right next to each other) by accident??? Very emarrassing if you dont realise in time!!! lol
