So glad to have help to sort out the mess my cables always are in. My contribution to this weeks Macro Mondays with theme cable.
A twisted electric cable attacked to a hook on a lamppost, attacked to a stobie pole. The actual concrete and metal pole is out of the picture.
It wasn't a particularly cheap experience but I decided that I couldn't pass the cable car that takes people from the Southern Ridges across to Sentosa Island. It was a remarkable trip!
The [Old] Alexandra Bridge, built in 1926 to accommodate cars using the Caribou Trail which was established during British Columbia's Gold Rush. Today it is far too narrow to handle 2 lanes of cars, or heavy vehicles, and was replaced with a new bridge in 1961. Now that bridge is under significant alterations/repairs.
How does one show the features of a bridge like this well? I decided to try a close up of the cables and girders to give some idea of it's construction, as well as how those cables were anchored into the rock.

Taken on a manual macro lens just to see what its like for landscapes. That twisted pile of rusting steel cable has been there for years and will probably outlast us all.
