The Constitution of 1812 Bridge, also known like La Pepa Bridge (El puente de la Constitución de 1812 or Puente de La Pepa in Spanish), is a new bridge across the Bay of Cadiz, linking Cadiz with Puerto Real in mainland Spain.
Cadiz's first bridge, the Carranza bridge, was inaugurated in 1969, and is now crossed by some 40,000 vehicles per day. In 1982 the Spanish government accepted the need for a second bridge.
It will have two 180m pylons, one in the sea and the other in Cabezuelas Harbour, a 540 meters span and a 69 meters of vertical clearance. The bridge also includes a 150 meters removal span. The bridge is actually on service.
It is the second bridge that crosses over to Cádiz from the mainland, after Carranza bridge, and one of the bridges of greater height in Europe with gauge of 69 meters and 5 kilometers in total length. It will be a suspension bridge with large towers: 187 meters of the sea and 181 meters of earth. Its the third access to the city, along with the isthmus San Fernando and said Carranza bridge. Given the large width of the board, it will be a bridge high capacity communications: motorway with two lanes in each direction and two lanes reserved for metropolitan public transport such as the new tram system.
The bill was drafted by the engineer of roads, canals and ports Javier Manterola. The works were scheduled for completion in 2012, coinciding with the bicentenary of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 which was written in Cádiz. However, due to cuts in public works required by the current economic crisis, the work is more than three years late.
In summer 2013 the work had progressed but at a slower pace. Later, since early 2014 the work progressed at a good pace, highlighting the installation of its cable-stayed span and hiring more staff working every day (including night shifts). In the first half of 2015, the bridge structure is completed, providing full completion in September of the same year.[2]
As data highlights:
The earlier draft described a arch bridge whose total length was 2.3 kilometer y 55 meters.
The total length of the current project, viaducts and links is 5 kilometers: 3096 meters on the bridge of which 1655 meters will be over the sea, with a main span of 540 meters record of Spain, with one hundred meters more than the bridge engineer Carlos Fernández Casado, famous engineer of roads, canals and ports, the reservoir Barrios de Luna. Besides the vain is the third largest in Europe suspended class, after Rio-Antirio Bridge and Normandy bridge.
The maximum height above the sea level is 69 meters, with two pylons 187 meters, making it one of the tallest bridges in Europe.
They are 30 meters higher than the pylons between both sides of the Bay.

Today. I am proud of today's shot, not necessarily for the final result, but for the way I executed my initial vision for this photo. First of all, I had to pay the train fare just to get on this platform, so I knew I couldn't come back empty handed. Second, upon arriving up at the platform, I knew I wanted to get a shot of a moving train. My plan was to get the frame I wanted, fire off my standard 3 exposures without the presence of a train. Then, without moving the tripod, wait for a train to come by and take a picture of the scene with the train properly exposed and in motion. Then, I would produce the HDR without the train, and finally mask the train into the scene in photoshop. Rarely when I have a contrived plan like this, does it end up working out exactly as planned, but that was not the case here, and that is exactly how I processed this photo.
Also, this shot is for Jim, aka wowphotoshdr. Jim correctly guessed the number of floors in 77/365 so I told him I would capture any shot of his choosing, and he asked for a train shot. Well, better late than never, 210 days later, Jim, here is your shot!

A well informed member of our spotting clan noticed that some diversions were taking place over the Woodhead route on Sundays not long before it was due to close.
So we drove up from Leamington Spa, visited a couple of depots near Sheffield and then took a splendid ride across the pennines.
A quick trip to the depot at Longsight, and we almost missed our train back.
Going east the snow had stopped and the sky was completely blue. In my excitement I'd used up all of my film on the journey west - doh......
Our train is now west of Penistone, the Huddersfield line is carried by the viaduct to the left of centre.
A lot going on in this shot....At far left in the distance an inbound GO Transit train heads east, led by GOT 604. In the middle, GOT 614 pushes a train westwards and at right more GO Transit trains are stored at the North Bathurst Yard.
In Dubai, E 11 is known as "Sheikh Zayed Road". This road is the main artery of the city. The highway runs parallel to the coastline from Trade Centre Roundabout to the border with the emirate of Abu Dhabi, 55 kilometres (34 mi) away in the area of Jebel Ali.
The road was formerly known as Defence Road. Between 1993 and 1998, 30 kilometres (19 mi) of the road was expanded. Along with this improvement came a change in the name. Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai at the time, named the road after the then president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
The Sheikh Zayed Road is home to most of Dubai's skyscrapers, including the Emirates Towers. The highway also connects other new developments such as the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. The road has most of the Red Line of Dubai Metro running alongside it. In Dubai itself much of the highway has seven to eight lanes in each direction
These 7 photos are of Amtrak 4, the Southwest Limited at Albuquerque on October 29, 1977. The engines are 509, 502, and 500, all ill-fated SDP40Fs. But they sure looked good this day -- new paint scheme and all.
Enjoy the 20 minute station stop!
Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
The first of a series that hopefully makes me a little better at taking and editing photos.

Spent a lot of time on the London Underground recently. This is one of the vaguely symmetrical clusters of wires and apparatus that caught my eye. evetheblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/20/another-48-hours/
Yesterday i wanted to visit & photograph the Tulip fields near Lisse & Hillegom in province South Hollan
d (Zuid-Holland). I was a bit dissapointed and did not see alot of tulips in the fields yet although I saw some great tulip field photos of some photographers in other areas in the Netherlands. It was also a bit cloudy on the lower part of the horizon so i was not able to see the sun during the sunset. I decided to go visit one of the three calavatra bridges from the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava between Hoofddorp and Nieuw Vennep. This is most southern of the three of the cable stayed bridges. I upped the contrasted so you don't see alot of details and the focus is 100% on the symmetric lines. It was a challenge to shoot this photo because my nikon 18-200 has zoom creep so the lens falls down when shooting (don't have the 18-200 version with the lock). I will certainly check out the tulip fields and the other calavatra bridges.
