The Sotra Bridge (Norwegian: Sotrabrua) is a suspension bridge which crosses Knarreviksundet between Knarrevik in Fjell and Drotningsvik on the mainland of Bergen in Hordaland, Norway. It carries two road lanes and two narrow pedestrian paths of National Road 555, providing a fixed link for the archipelago of Sotra. The bridge is 1,236 metres (4,055 ft) long, has a main span of 468 metres (1,535 ft) and a clearance of 50 metres (160 ft). In 2007, it had an average 25,494 vehicles per day.
The bridge was brought into use on 11 December 1971, although not officially opened until 1972. It cost 40 million Norwegian krone (NOK) to build, of which NOK 23.5 million was paid for with tolls, which were collected until 1983. When it opened, it was the longest suspension bridge in Norway, but is now the seventh longest. There exist plans to build a second bridge to either expand the road to four lanes, or carry a proposed extension of the Bergen Light Rail. Alternatively, a subsea tunnel could be built to carry a motorway.
Tijdens het fotograferen van vogels zag ik deze passant over de brug lopen. Met deze herfstkleuren vond ik dit een mooi plaatje.
The historic bridge was finished in 1928 to provide an alternative to Lee's Ferry which was upstream. The modern bridge was completed in 1995 to enable handling of heavier trucks. The historic bridge is 18 feet wide and the modern bridge is 44 feet wide. The old bridge is used for pedestrians. Both bridges are more than 450 feet above the Colorado River in the canyon below. The Vermillion Cliffs are nearby. Wilbur is at the fence below.

This 120 foot long historic bridge is a rare surviving example of a truss bridge in Michigan. Built in 1930, the design is distinguished by its massive steel members and Parker pony truss configuration.
Looking close, you can see the new bridge in the background slightly above and beyond the old bridge. These bridges are located on Highway 65 just downstream from the Five Channels Dam west of Oscoda, Michigan.

Bridges (Travessia) by Milton Nascimento
I have crossed a thousand bridges
In my search for something real
There were great suspension bridges
Made of spiderwebs of steel
There were tiny wooden trestles
And there were bridges made of stone
I have always been a stranger
And I've always been alone
There's a bridge to tomorrow
There's a bridge from the past
There's a bridge made of sorrow
That I pray would not last
There's a bridge made of colors
In the sky high above
And I'm certain there must be
Bridges made out of love
I can see him in a distance
On the rivers of the shore
And his hands reach out in longing
As my own have done before
And I call across to tell him
Where I believe the bridge must lie
And I'll find it, yes I'll find it
If I search until I die
When the bridge is between us
We'll have nothing to fear
We will run through the sunlight
And you'll meet me halfway
There's a bridge made of colors
In the sky high above
And I'm certain there must be
Bridges made out of love
La, la, la...

The North East of England is known as the birthplace of the railways.
This new form of transport led to an explosion in the construction of magnificent bridges and viaducts in the 19th Century.
One of the best examples is the Royal Border Bridge in Berwick Upon Tweed.
Built by railway pioneer Robert Stephenson and opened by Queen Victoria, the bridge strides gracefully across the River Tweed.
This grade one listed viaduct with 28 arches was completed in 1850, and is still in regular use today as part of the main Newcastle-Edinburgh East Coast Main Line.

The bridge was named to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I. An Australian Flag flies atop the eastern pylon and a New Zealand Flag flies atop the western pylon. A bronze memorial statue of an Australian Anzac soldier stands on the western end of the bridge. Opposite him, a statue of a New Zealand soldier stands facing towards the east.
I took this photo looking up from the pedestrian walkway on the eastern side of the bridge.
The Wearmouth Bridge, Sunderland at dusk.
The evening sky colour didn’t happen until a good 25 minutes after sun down when the sky lit up with strong pinks. I must admit I had packed my gear up and was heading home by this point then after a quick glance over my shoulder I made a quick U turn and headed to this spot.
Thanks for looking.
