This man is on the wide pedestrian/cycle path on the opposite side of the causeway that separates the bulk of the estuary (in background) and McCormacks Bay (this side). There is also the main road from the city to the suburbs of Redcliff, Sumner, Scarborough etc.

The Queensferry Crossing (formerly the Forth Replacement Crossing) is a road bridge in Scotland. It was built alongside the existing Forth Road Bridge and carries the M90 motorway across the Firth of Forth between Edinburgh, at South Queensferry, and Fife, at North Queensferry.
Proposals for a second Forth Road crossing were first put forward in the 1990s. But no action was taken until structural issues were discovered in 2004. In 2006-2007 Transport Scotland carried out a study to examine the options and in December 2007, the decision was made to proceed with a replacement bridge. The following year it was announced that the existing bridge would be retained as a public transport link. The Forth Crossing Act received Royal Assent in January 2011. In April 2011, the Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors Consortium were awarded the contract and construction began in late Summer/Autumn of 2011.
The Queensferry Crossing is a three-tower cable-stayed bridge, with an overall length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 miles). Around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of new connecting roads were built, including new and upgraded junctions at Ferrytoll in Fife, South Queensferry and Junction 1A on the M9.
The bridge was first due to be completed by December 2016, but this deadline was extended to August 2017 after several delays. It is the third bridge across the Forth at Queensferry, alongside the Forth Road Bridge completed in 1964, and the Forth Bridge completed in 1890. Following a public vote, it was formally named on 26 June 2013 and opened to traffic on 30 August 2017. The official opening was carried out on 4 September 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II, fifty-three years to the day after she opened the adjacent Forth Road Bridge.
Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based on the 2010 definition of the locality which in addition to the burgh includes Dalmeny.
British Railways Gorton 1952 built EM1 class 76 1500V DC electric locomotive 76041 (26041) is captured at 13.30 travelling light engine, passing over Kendall Green Crossing on the Wombwell Main to West Silkstone Junction (Wath Branch) section of the Woodhead route, heading east towards Wath.
This section of the Woodhead 1500DC system (Wath Branch) would close completely 15 months later at 13.30 on the 17th July 1981, after the west bound passage of banking engines 76012 & 76007, which were travelling light engines.
76041 was new to Wath on 21/04/52 withdrawn from Reddish 2/11/80

Die Hite Crossing Bridge www.flickr.com/photos/hastigesichtweisen/52772620170/in/a... überspannt den Colorado River im Südosten Utahs, mitten in der weiten, abgelegenen Landschaft des Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Sie liegt an der Utah State Route 95 und gehört zu den wenigen festen Flussquerungen in dieser Region.
Eröffnet wurde die Brücke 1966, nachdem der Bau des Glen Canyon Dam und der entstehende Lake Powell die frühere Fährverbindung bei Hite unbrauchbar gemacht hatten. Die Brücke ersetzte damit einen alten Übergang, der jahrzehntelang einer der wenigen Wege über den Colorado war.
Heute wirkt dieser Ort vor allem durch seine Umgebung: roter Fels, tiefe Schluchten, offener Himmel — eine Straße, die durch fast unbewohntes Land führt. Die Brücke selbst ist weniger Sehenswürdigkeit als stiller Teil einer Landschaft, in der Entfernungen und Zeit eine andere Dimension bekommen.
Hite Bridge (Hite Crossing Bridge), Utah
The Hite Crossing Bridge spans the Colorado River in southeastern Utah, set within the vast and remote landscape of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It lies along Utah State Route 95 and is one of the few permanent crossings of the river in this region.
The bridge was opened in 1966, after the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam and the rising waters of Lake Powell made the former ferry crossing at Hite unusable. It replaced an old route that had long been one of the only ways to cross the Colorado here.
Today, the place is defined above all by its surroundings: red rock, deep canyons, open sky — a road running through almost uninhabited land. The bridge itself is less a landmark than a quiet part of a landscape where distance and time seem to take on a different scale.
Tonight's Net Flicks offering shows another view of B-52H 'Aero 71' aka 'High Tension III' crossing the fence at RAF Fairford
Visible in this view are not only the unique undercarriage layout with the four directional main undercarriage legs - in this case they are very slightly turned to cater for the crosswind, but in addition the outrigger wheel can be seen - designed to protect the wing tanks and low slung engines on take-off and landing as when they taxi or when the lift is dumped, the wings droop and the outriggers take up the slack
Additionally, on top of the wings you can see those huge 'tufted' ailerons - here the pilot is working hard to keep straight and level and which double as air brakes too
If you look closely along the tops of the inboard part of the wings - and on the tailplane top surface are rows of spiked vortex generators - used to smooth out the airflow over the wings - decreasing turbulence and therefore increasing the lift
At the very rear, on the earlier models a tail gunner would have been carried but the later models deleted that option with more modern equipment being carried as an alternative
A sobering thought is that the last B-52 to roll off the Boeing production line was in 1962!
That was serial number 61-0040.
This one is s/n 61-0013

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. It's very unusual to see just one person crossing here, it is usually packed. A great opportunity for a shot and, with absolutely no offence intended, I loved her body shape isolated against the street here. The look towards my lens is the cherry on top.

This westbound grain train from Superior crosses the Tamarack River on the east side of Wright, Minnesota making its way along the BNSF Brainerd Subdivision.
I shot this 6-second exposure of McKay Crossing Falls from on a ledge above the falls, and to the left on the other side of the river you can see the descent I took to get to the base of the falls for the previous photo. Believe me, I'm no Indiana Jones and I did find a fairly civilized way to the bottom by hiking about a quarter mile downstream. Again I love the textures created in this monochrome image.

I was at an art exhibition – “Crossing Thoughts”

The environment of the art exhibition took my attention.
The exhibition was about glazed ceramics.

The US20 crossing of the Shoshone River not too many miles west of Cody, Wyoming, one that I pulled from my archived .raw files to play with during some downtime in Odessa, Texas awaiting truck repairs. I shot this while enroute to Yellowstone in 2015 (4-10-2015) while strong winds blew down the canyon from nearby Buffalo Bill Resevoir. Midday lighting leaves much to be desired and this image is no exception but it seemed sufficiently interesting to share all the same.
