Convergence of Nature

The Millennium Bridge was the first new bridge to be built over the Thames in London for more than 100 years. It was the result of a 1996 competition and it was won by the 'blade of light' design envisioned by Arup (engineers), Foster and Partners (architects) and Sir Anthony Caro (sculptor).
It was officially opened by the Queen on 10 June 2000. Around 80,000 people crossed the bridge on its opening day, with around 2,000 on the bridge at any one time. People felt the bridge begin to sway and twist in regular oscillations. Feeling unsteady, the pedestrians altered their gait to the same lateral rhythm as the bridge. The adjusted footsteps just magnified the motion: the more it happened, the more people responded to the movement; and the worse it got. Two days later the bridge was closed until the problem was fixed but it’s known as the Wobbly Bridge since.
It reopened for good on 27 February 2002 and the best time to catch it without people crossing it is at sunrise, albeit the occasional photographer will be desperately trying to find a new angle.

I was pleasantly surprised to be able to use the train to add to the lines of perspective. As an afterthought, I think a longer exposure would work better.
…viewing such sights as this get me out of the house on crisp winter days for a walk through the park.

The clouds were too good to pass up this evening - I loved the lines that had formed along with the light of the setting sun.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

Champ au moment de la moisson près de Saint-Nicolas-de-Port dans le département de Meurthe-et-Moselle, en région Grand Est.
I have walked with you in the shallows, swam in your undercurrents, and splashed in your great divide.
I pull you up to me when your tides are low,
then, in turn, you reflect and help me grow.
A fog may settle in over time and an eclipse may occur.
I still slowly drift across you; ripples…deeply...stir.
There's one more thing I hope you realize;
I go through phases, but I'm always here for you to light up even your darkest skies.
Sincerely Yours,
The Moon
Happy Sunday Friends! I hope your week goes well and you go with the flow.
I'll catch up to you soon...some enchanted evening.
Problems with my PC....I had to re-install my Windows :(
Time to get a Mac perhaps? :)
