Darwen Tower (also called Jubilee Tower) stands on Darwen Moor above the town of Darwen in Lancashire. It was built in 1898 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

The stone tower is about 26 metres (85 ft) tall and sits roughly 370 metres above sea level, giving wide views across Lancashire and sometimes even to the Lake District on clear days.

A gull resting on the old bridge platform at Tippen / Naturspidsen in Frederikssund, looking out over Roskilde Fjord.

 

This concrete structure is part of the remains from the old railway bridge over Roskilde Fjord. From 1928 to 1936, Midtsjællandske Jernbane had a roughly 300 meter long railway bridge here, a little south of the current Kronprins Frederiks Bro, connecting Frederikssund and Hornsherred.

 

After the bridge was dismantled, the bridge structure was transported to Aalborg, where it became part of the railway bridge over Limfjorden.

 

The gull, the old lamp, the moss-covered concrete, the grey sky and the soft telephoto background give the scene a quiet documentary feeling. It is a small piece of Frederikssund’s railway and fjord history, still standing in the water years after the bridge itself disappeared.

After the bridge was dismantled, the bridge structure was transported to Aalborg, where it became part of the railway bridge over Limfjorden.

 

The grey sky, rough water, old concrete, moss, rust marks and gulls resting on the remains give the scene a quiet documentary feeling. It is not just a fjord view, but a small piece of Frederikssund’s railway and harbour history still standing in the water.
