These friends/sisters were enjoying sliding down the smooth rock, so I decided to include them in the composition, and try to give the photo an "old-fashioned" feel..
The Ha'penny Bridge (Irish: Droichead na Leathphingine, or Droichead na Life), known later for a time as the Penny Ha'penny Bridge, and officially the Liffey Bridge, is a pedestrian bridge built in May 1816 over the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland. Made of cast iron, the bridge was cast in Shropshire, England. Originally called the Wellington Bridge (after the Dublin-born Duke of Wellington), the name of the bridge changed to Liffey Bridge. The Liffey Bridge (Irish: Droichead na Life)[1] remains the bridge's official name to this day, although it is most commonly referred to as the Ha'penny Bridge.
Die Ha’penny Bridge (oder Half Penny Bridge, offiziell Liffey Bridge) ist eine 43 m lange, knapp 3,7 m breite Fußgängerbrücke aus dem Jahr 1816, die im Zentrum der irischen Hauptstadt Dublin den Fluss Liffey überspannt und dabei den Stadtteil Temple Bar mit dem Bachelor´s Walk verbindet. Ihren volkstümlichen Namen erhielt sie aufgrund der früher zu entrichtenden Fußgängermaut; die offizielle, aber im Alltag kaum verwendete Bezeichnung lautet Liffey Bridge. Die Brücke ist eine der meistfotografierten Sehenswürdigkeiten Dublins und gilt vielfach als das Wahrzeichen der Stadt.

Tower Bridge opens for Dixie Queen, a replica of a 19th century Mississippi paddle steamer and one of the largest boats regularly on the River Thames. The bridge was open soon after a dull sunset here, but the low tide enabled me to get to a spot not usually accessible.
Through the bridge you can just see a Christmas tree by City Hall.
The ferry could not handle the strongly increased traffic in the 60’s anymore and the need for a good north-south connection grew. That’s why, in 1963, the province of Zeeland finalises the order for the Zeeland bridge between Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland to be built. With its 5 kilometres in length, the bridge – then still called the Oosterschelde bridge – becomes the longest in the Netherlands. The Zeeland bridge exists of 54 pillars with spans at intervals of 95 metres. There is also a passageway for ships by making part of the bridge, which is 40 metres wide, moveable.
The bridge is officially opened on 15 December 1965 by Queen Juliana. In April of 1967, the Oosterschelde bridge is renamed Zeeland bridge. Until 1993, users of the bridge had to pay toll, after then the bridge has been toll free. The opening of the Zeeland bridge makes Schouwen-Duiveland a lot more accessible. This leads to mass tourism to Schouwen-Duiveland. Especially the Westhoek with its dunes and 18 kilometres of beach profits from this.
