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.
Walking by the lake early this morning, I noticed that at this spot the horizon line, the direction of the clouds as well as their reflection on the water and the road, seemed to converge on the latter's bend. Converging lines, converging fates ...
Have a wonderful weekend my friends and thank you all for your kind visits, comments and faves.

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.
This Image was taken at early twilight on the east side of Pt Lookout, North Stradbroke Island (or traditionally, Minjirribah), off Brisbane, Australia.
The title reflects the concept of “serenities of convergence”, which was not detected in exploring if it existed online, as potentially a new concept (photographic: nature and landscape) informed by two understandings:
1.Convergence: in Nature, which involves a location, here, where (a) airflows and cloud patterns and/or ocean currents meet, characteristically marked by upwelling (of air) or downwelling (of water), and (b) a seascape of waves. The convergence marks the meeting of these two seemingly different visual phenomena, or expressions, of the sky and the ocean at the same place at exactly the same moment.
2.Serenity: the state or quality of being serene, calm, or tranquil, here, in connection to the aesthetics (or appreciated beauty) of the said natural landscapes involved.
Interestingly, the beauty and substance of the sky here, also aligns to the ancient and colourful style of local Aboriginal Dreamtime paintings (see in the music video below, recommended). Please enjoy!

( My first HDR treatment.............just a trial)
Between the Western and Southern Towers of CIBC banks, on King and Bay. The sun came out briefly as I walked by to give these bright reflections. Best seen enlarged. No. 3 of Walking Downtown Series.
Another from Sandymouth Bay at North Cornwall..
I took lots of slow shutter shots but liked the 'splash' in this shot...
Tripod..
I suppose we all have favourite bits in a photo and mine in this are the lower layer of white clouds…..Oh, and that splash, of which I timed many but this one was my favourite :)
