Brisbane City from Kurilpa Bridge
I had intended to go elsewhere this morning, however a late alarm, and realising that it was rainy, kept me local. It was cold and wet, and although I had shot this scene before, I had never tried the ND400 effect to smooth everything out. I like it.
About Kurilpa Bridge:
Kurilpa Bridge is the world’s largest tensegrity bridge.
The Kurilpa Bridge is a multiple-mast, cable-stay structure based on principles of tensegrity producing a synergy between balanced tension and compression components to create a light structure that is incredibly strong.[3]
The bridge is 470m long with a main span of 120m and features two large viewing and relaxation platforms, two rest areas, and a continuous all-weather canopy for the entire length of the bridge. A canopy is supported by a secondary tensegrity structure.[3] It is estimated that 550 tons of structural steel including 6.8 km of spiral strand cable are incorporated into the bridge.
A public competition was held to decide on a new name for the bridge. On the 23rd November 2008 it was announced that the winning entry was Kurilpa Bridge. [7]The name reflects the Australian Aboriginal word for the South Brisbane and West End area, and means "place for water rats
