Me-Now-Views; Less Speak More Peek (Boomerang Post)
Six years ago this month, the Mac Clan had a ride out to the Firth of Forth to view the progress of the mighty Queensferry Crossing - the third bridge over the water. It was quite the event.
Beautiful bridge and photos! For some odd, completely unfathomable reason I am taken with a craving for the Greig Street footbridge in Inverness. If you have photos, may I request a peek sometime? Thank you.
Hari OM It is a lovely bridge, Nila - but do you know, I didn't get to that end of town, staying south of the centre... I do have other bridge shots (Infirmary Bridge is also very pretty) and will hunt them out. Did you visit Inverness yourself? Yxx
The bridge is a magnificent addition to the landscape of the Firth of Forth, as well as a useful piece of transport infrastructure of course. Now they need to sort out the traffic around the Edinburgh City Bypass/M8 area... (We got stuck in a horrid snarl up driving back from the borders in August, and were very happy and relieved when we finally reached the bridge.) Cheers, Gail.
So similar to the Patras Bridge (which we photographed ineptly from the ferry on Sunday) that were it not for your lovely red bridge in the background. Beautiful bridge style. Furrings and purrings Mr T and F
Yam I'd love to see the first photo in a beautiful frame hanging in here. The house is so tiny beside the bridge but it is really a very pretty large home Hugs Cecilia
Hi Yam - excellent photos ... and amazing ... I see they note the family firm for the 2nd bridge ... I know my uncle'd be fascinated to see the new one. It is extraordinary how far engineering has come since my grandfather was in charge of Victoria Falls bridge in the early 1900s - where workers were swung across the gorge to work ... ghastly though!! Cheers Hilary
Beautiful bridge and photos!

ReplyDeleteTruly Amazing, Great photos
ReplyDeletewow that is great... I always wonder that we can do things what are close to magic... and 5 minutes later we fail at the most simple stuff...

ReplyDeleteOops meant to say...in the background, it could be over the Korinth Canal!

It's interesting to see how they work on such a large bridge. Thanks for taking us back to see how it happened.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE the bridge shots! Great angles and perspectives! Thanks for sharing!
