Brooklyn Bridge, with South Manhattan skyline (World Trade Center disappears in the low clouds on the right) and on the the left is DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge) Carousal (Jane's Carousal, 1922) enclosed in glass building for year around use.
This bridge is very beautiful after long exposure. The weather was quite good this evening but it will be raining for the next 6 days. :(
今天傍晚時突然出景，我塞在路上，來不及拍夕陽斜射光，幸好還趕上色溫，據說未來六天都會下雨，希望好天氣快點來!

Vasabron (Swedish: "The Vasa Bridge") is a bridge over Norrström in central Stockholm, Sweden connecting Norrmalm to the Old Town, the old city.
The bridge is, unintelligibly, named after King Gustav Vasa (1496-1560), perhaps Because of the vicinity to the statue of the king in front of the House of Knights. From Vasabron a much smaller bridge, Strömsborgsvägen Bridge, connects to the islet Strömsborgsvägen.

There are no First, Second or Third Bridges.
The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder in 2016), and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge, though this has never been its official name.
Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future Edward VII. The bridge spans the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry and North Queensferry and has a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467 m). When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world, until 1919 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span, with a span of 1,709 feet (521 m).
The bridge and its associated railway infrastructure are owned by Network Rail.
The Firth of Forth is the estuary (firth) of several Scottish rivers including the River Forth. It meets the North Sea with Fife on the north coast and Lothian on the south. It was known as Bodotria in Roman times. In the Norse sagas it was known as the Myrkvifiörd.
This view is from Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", and is a town to the west of Edinburgh, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies some ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based on the 2010 definition of the locality.

Not much to adore as a nature loving landscape photographer in New York City, but of course there are some places I wanted to visit. This is Brooklyn Bridge Park during sunset. Met a photographer from Tyrol there, if he reads this: Show me how your shot came out please! 😊

There are still a few bridges in London along the River Thames that I have not photograph. Kew Bridge is one of them. Yesterday I along with a couple of friends came to photograph this bridge and was blessed with a stunning sunset. Many cheers geeze up above!

View of the pedestrian bridge that crosses this small section of the Potomac River as it cuts across Olmstead Island there at Great Falls. Well into the blue hour, the mix of that light and the city lights of Washington DC suburbs on the clouds was very pretty as the stars started to come out. A pretty evening, and nice there with the flowing river drowning out any other noise.
Worth sticking around for this view as the darkness set in. Though it was a little spooky there all alone ;)

The majestic arch of Västerbron (literally 'The West Bridge') traversing Södermalm, Långholmen and Kungsholmen in Stockholm.
This is the Stone Arch Bridge here in town. It spans Curtis Creek on South 8th Street just south of the entrance to South Park. It was built in 1889 at a cost of $5600.
The Leaderfoot Viaduct, also known as Drygrange Viaduct, crosses the River Tweed near Melrose in the Scottish Borders. It was opened in 1863, to carry the Berwickshire Railway, which connected Reston, on the East Coast mainline, with St Boswells, on the North British 'Waverley' route, via Duns and Greenlaw.
The railway was an early closure not even surviving to the Beeching era - the line was severely damaged by flooding during August 1948, with 7 bridges on the line failing, and as a result closing to passenger traffic almost immediately, with freight continuing on the surviving section until 1965.
The road bridge in the foreground is of an even older vintage. Drygrange Old Bridge was built between 1776 and 1780 and carried the A68 over the Tweed until 1974 when the road was diverted via a new structure a little to the east.

Momosuke Bridge - also known as the “Bridge of Peaches”. The bridge, completed in September 1922, crosses the widest part of the Kiso river and is 247 m in length and 2.7 m wide. As one of the longest wood-stiffened, wooden-decked suspension bridges in Japan it shares overhead suspension bridge design elements with suspension bridges of a simiar period found in the US and Europe.
The bridge was built to serve the development of hydro-electric infrastructure along the Kiso River by engineering entrepenur of the Meiji Period; Momosuke Fukuzawa in whose honour the bridge is named.
A pity the sky was perfectly clear with zero colour after sunset but I thought the light off the decking would make a lovely line to the sky and the mountains. Mono being the only choice :-)

The Tower Bridge , named after its two impressive towers, is one of London's best known landmarks. This Victorian Bridge is now more than 100 years old. Designed by Wolfe Barry and Horace Jones, and completed in 1894, the middle of the bridge can be raised to permit large vessels to pass the Tower Bridge. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week. The bridge is 60 meter (197 ft) long and its towers rise to a height of 43 meter. From the top of the towers, you have a great view on the center of London. You can also visit the inside of the tower, where you can observe the original mechanism used to raise the bridge

Bridgepixing the Navajo Bridge, built 1929, over the Colorado River in Marble Canyon, east of the Grand Canyon. This historic bridge (on the right) is now a pedestrian only Footbridge after its twin (on the left) was built in 1995. Located near the site of the historic Lee's Ferry, this bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Navajo Bridge crosses the Colorado River's Marble Canyon near Lee's Ferry in the U.S. state of Arizona. Apart from the Glen Canyon Bridge a few miles upstream at Page, Arizona, it is the only roadway crossing of the river and the Grand Canyon for nearly 1000 km (600 mi). Spanning Marble Canyon, the bridge carries northbound travelers to southern Utah and to the otherwise inaccessible portions of Arizona north of the Colorado River, such as the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
Prior to the construction of the first Navajo Bridge, the only river crossing from Arizona to Utah was at nearby Lee's Ferry, where the canyon walls are low and getting vehicles onto the water is relatively convenient. The ferry offered only unreliable service, however, as adverse weather and flooding regularly prevented its operation.
Construction of the original Navajo Bridge began in 1927, and the bridge opened to traffic in 1929. It was paid for by the nascent Arizona State Highway Commission (now the Arizona Department of Transportation) in cooperation with the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, as the eastern landing is on the Navajo Nation. The steel spandrel bridge design was constructed by the Kansas City Structural Steel Company. The bridge is 834 feet in length, with a maximum height of 467 feet from the canyon floor. Its roadway offers an 18 foot surface width with a load capacity of 22.5 tons (although the posted legal weight limit was 40 tons). During the design phase, a wider roadway was considered, but ultimately rejected, as it would have required a costly third arch to be added to the design, and the vehicles of the time did not necessitate the wider road.
In 1990, however, it was decided that the current traffic flow was too great for the original bridge, and that a new solution was needed. The sharp corners in the roadway on each side of the bridge's approach had become a safety hazard due to low visibility, and the deficiency in the original design's width and load capacity specifications were becoming problematic. The bridge had also become part of the US Federal Highway System's Route 89ALT, and it did not meet the required standards of such a road.
Deciding on a solution was difficult, due to the many local interests. Issues included preservation of sacred Navajo land, endangered plant species in Marble Canyon, and the possibility of construction pollution entering the river. The original proposal called for merely widening and fortifying the bridge, but this was ultimately rejected since this could not possibly bring it up to current federal highway standards. Replacement was then the only option, and it was eventually decided to entirely discontinue automobile use of the original bridge. A new bridge would be built immediately next to the original and have a considerably similar visual appearance, but would conform to modern highway codes.
The new steel arch bridge was commissioned by the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, and was completed in September of 1995, at a cost of approximately $15 million dollars.
The original Navajo Bridge is still open to pedestrian and equestrian use, and an interpretive center has been constructed nearby to showcase the historical nature of the bridge and early crossing of the Colorado River. The original bridge has been designated as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

Nice weather here for a change so I went for a walk in the park of the Castle Krapperup. Not much spring signs yet - some snowdrops and some buttercups only. This red bridge in the bright spring sun caught my eye however. View Large
