Storebæltsbroen, Storebaelt Great Belt Bridge Denmark
The Great Belt Fixed link (Danish: Storebæltsforbindelsen) is a multi-element fixed link crossing the Great Belt straight between the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen. It consists of five structures: a road suspension bridge and a railway tunnel between Zealand and the small island Sprogø located in the middle of the Great Belt, and a box girder bridge for both road and rail traffic between Sprogø and Funen. The "Great Belt Bridge" (Danish: Storebæltsbroen) commonly refers to the suspension bridge, although it may also be used to mean the box-girder bridge or the link in its entirety. The suspension bridge, officially known as the East Bridge, has the world's third longest main span (1.6 km), and the longest outside of Asia.
Aldwark Toll Bridge is situated on the River Ure, near to the confluence of the Nidd (and thus forming the Ouse). It is one of only a few privately owned bridges in the country The toll for a car is now 40p saving a 25 mile journey
In 1772, John Thompson was given the powers by an Act of Parliament to build a bridge over the Ure at this point, owing to the dangerous river conditions in the area. Oddly, in the 19th Century, the bridge was hit by an iceberg and was rebuilt - this is the bridge that is currently standing
Although the bridge itself is made of iron, the deck is made of specially imported hardwood, and can be a bit disconcerting crossing in a large van! The weight limit is currently set at 7.5 tonnes, which is testament to the original builders, who only envisioned horse and carts crossing it. (Sabre)
Inspiration from The Grove Country Club Estates
Just when you think hope is lost
And giving up is all you got
And blue turns black, your confidence is cracked
There seems no turning back from here
Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
That's when you can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you can't give up the fight
That's when love turns night-time into day
That's when loneliness goes away
That's why you got to be strong tonight
Only love can build us a bridge of light
(from "Happy Feet Two" soundtrack)
An affectionate name for this bridge, which at high tide becomes completely surrounded by water.
It spans Biel Water, where it runs into the ocean at Belhaven, on the east coast of Scotland.
This was a little earlier in the evening than my previous post, not quite as stormy, with a hint of colour.

The bridge will get you from point A to point B by going over the obstacle. If you find yourself knee deep then you missed the turn. You can see the alterations I have done going to an abstract but the part you do not see is there was a huge stick that poked up in the middle of the shot and ruined the bridge, in abstract it was quiet easy to erase the stick and bridge the gap in the bridge, hope you enjoy the spring crossover!
A sunrise that lacked a certain woomph but it means I will keep revisiting until I'm satisfied.
Sun rise meant to happen at 4.52am according to The Photographer's Ephemeris; the shot was taken at 5:40am.
By that time all the night lights had been turned off.
I posted this mirrored bridge last year but thought I would try something new. My granddaughter kindly indulged me with a backyard leap and this is how I repaid her trust.
I hope she makes the leap.

The Long Horse bridge between Sawley and Shardlow is virtually guaranteed to give you a great sunset sky if there is going to be one...and Sunday evenings one was pretty decent by most people's standards.
Because half of the Clifton Suspension Bridge is better than none.
