The Humber Bridge, near Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, is a 2.22 km (2,430 yd; 7,300 ft; 1.38 mi) single-span road suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981. When it opened, the bridge was the longest of its type in the world; it was not surpassed until 1998, with the completion of the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, and is now the twelfth-longest.

The bridge spans the Humber (an estuary formed by the rivers Trent and Ouse), between Barton-upon-Humber on the south bank and Hessle on the north bank, connecting the East Riding of Yorkshire with North Lincolnshire. Both sides of the bridge were in the non-metropolitan county of Humberside until its dissolution in 1996. The bridge can be seen for miles around, from as far as Patrington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and from out to sea miles off the coast. It is a Grade I listed building.

* I never tire of taking shots of the Humber Bridge the most attractive gateway to Hull.

The Humber Bridge was built in 1981 it is an architectural masterpiece With a centre span of 4,626 ft and a total length of 7,283 ft or 1.3 miles the Humber Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world for 17 years, until Japan's Akashi Kaikyō Bridge opened on 5 April 1998. Each tower consists of a pair of hollow vertical concrete columns, each 510 ft tall and tapering from20 ft square at the base to 14.8 ft at the top. The bridge is designed to tolerate constant motion and bends more than 10 ft in winds of 80 mph . The towers, although both vertical, are 1.4 inches farther apart at the top than the bottom due to the curvature of the earth.

** The image of the Humber Bridge is not inappropriate I traveled across it yesterday to spend New Years Eve with some friends on the South Bank of the River. This morning I drove back to Hull over the bridge . We don’t use it that often but I do enjoy crossing over it. Its a splendid bridge with fantastic views over the River Humber

As part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations the Humber Bridge was adorned with a Union flag on the top of each tower. However there wasn’t much wind to make them billow and in any case they weren’t that big to make them stand out, and don’t show on this image. Nonetheless a pleasant sunset which provided a double sun star.

Spring tides have nothing to do with the season, but are more to do with the moon’s cycle. With all that said, the trees were blossoming, the tide was high, and the full moon had just set. So by all accounts, a Spring Tide!

Thanks everyone for sending good wishes on my birthday yesterday. I had a good birthday a pleasant long lunch in a favourite restaurant , generous gifts of wine, books and chocolate.

I took this a couple of weeks ago when we had a stroll on the South bank of the Humber. I did not take a camera as I thought I had enough images of the Humber Bridge . However this colourful scene in Barton Haven was quite appealing thankfully I had the phone. As you can see the Humber Bridge does make an appearance in the background . As for the Haven its pretty silted up it would need a pretty high tide to get a boat in or out of here and onto the Humber

A phone call from the wife on her way to Barton Upon Humber, alerted me to the above scene, to which I then dashed out with camera in tow. In this particular shot you can see the bridge road deck, which kept disappearing into the mist. Also visible are some birds just below the tower, flying in front of the mist, which was limited to the river area itself.

Humber Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire

I popped up to North Yorkshire for a little road trip and explore for a few days.

Sadly the heavy heavy fog impaired most of my opportunities in the moors and dales but on my way to Hull, I popped to Humber and enjoyed shooting from the beachside.

Adverse weather isn't always a pain :)

Last week the Humber Bridge was again shrouded at times in mist. I captured a series of images from different vantage points, but this one, taken more or less as the mist had dissipated, is one of my favourites due to its simplicity.

The base of the south tower of the Humber Bridge looking towards Hessle Foreshore on the North Bank,

The image was taken at a viewing point in Barton upon Humber, my first time in the area and I was really taken by its beauty, and the freindliness of the locals, it felt like being back at home.

* A familiar subject for me, its another image of the Humber Bridge taken from the South Bank of the River. The city of hull is on the North bank and can just be seen on the right of the image

I love to photograph the Humber Bridge which is two miles outside of Hull. Built in 1981 it is an architectural masterpiece With a centre span of 4,626 ft and a total length of 7,283 ft or 1.3 miles the Humber Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world for 17 years, until Japan's Akashi Kaikyō Bridge opened on 5 April 1998.

The mighty Humber Bridge! Standing under the huge structure makes you feel very small!!

Sunset on the Humber Estuary 🌅

I have tried to show the Humber Bridge from a different angle, this is taken from the North Bank.

Since getting my new camera I have had little time to play with it. However a couple of nights ago I did have some free time and it looked as though there may be a good sunset over the River Humber. So I spent an hour or two trying things out. Must Say I do love the 7100

Quite happy with this shot as it is completely SOOC though I did convert it from a RAW file in lightroom. This is the first time I have used a NG filter reasonably pleased with the result. I did want to make the exposure too long, it’s an effect that can be overdone in my opinion though it is clearly a very popular technique. The subject is the magnificent Humber Bridge, a great subject which I should photograph more as its 3 miles from where I live

For those who like numbers the Bridge is over a mile long and it's the seventh-longest bridge of its type in the world

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

The Humberbridge standing out in the sunlight with those mensing dark clouds as a back drop.

A misty morning by the Humber Bridge. The structure was the longest of its kind in the world when completed in 1981. It spans The Humber, a large estuary which begins at the confluence of the Rivers Trent and Ouse and ends in the North Sea. Photographed from Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, UK

This shot of the Humber bridge was taken from Barton waterside.

Glad I made the decision to get out this morning for a walk along the foreshore.. captured a few decent long exposures along the way ..

The Humber Bridge under threatening skies.

This is the Humber Bridge, seen from the south side on a cold February evening. As the sun went lower in the sky, the mist and fog rose from the river and within moments of this image being taken, the whole bridge had vanished into the fog. The evening sunset adding colour to a cold yet clear sky.

An image shot a few years ago, of the amazing Humber Bridge, spanning the River Humber between East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

The Bridge is a 2.22-kilometre (2,430 yd; 7,300 ft; 1.38 mi) single-span road suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981.

When it opened, the bridge was the longest of its type in the world; it was not surpassed until 1998, with the completion of the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, and is now the eleventh-longest.

I'd say it's the most beautiful however, low slung and graceful it is, British engineering at its very best.

I'd love a return visit....

I was out of the office for much of the afternoon and on my way along the A63 towards Hessle I saw the bridge in the mist and decided to take a few minutes of my lunch break taking some photos. It looked stunning and lots of people had cameras and cam phones. Much of the time it looks like a huge concrete monster, but every now and again the Humber Bridge really does look beautiful

~~See what I was doing this time last year - Jan 14th 2008

The Humber Bridge, UK, taken just after sunrise from the south back of the Humber.

The sun was catching the opposite edge of the road deck, from where I was stood, which provided this shaft of gold running along the bridge.

With the Humber Suspension Bridge forming the dominant backdrop, a Northern class 158 DMU, unit 158790, slides away from Hessle station with a Hull - Doncaster service.

Meanwhile, the as yet sole passenger waiting on the train to Hull has sensibly decided to use the shelter and stay out of the rain, droplets of which can be seen against the underside of the platform canopy.

The relentless traffic on the A15 overhead cares not a jot about what's going on down here. But I was happy enough the petrol tanker put in a timely appearance.

Commenting switched off, thanks.
