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.

…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.

The clouds were too good to pass up this evening - I loved the lines that had formed along with the light of the setting sun.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

"Roll cloud" is a low, elongated cloud, which is part of the numerous types of accessory clouds of a storm front (Fractocumulus genus), which signals the "gust line", or the change of wind just before the arrival of precipitation, along the virtual lines of air convergence and thermal discontinuity.
On the sea, as on the plains, the Roll cloud, formed by colder and denser air than the one it finds, literally rolls (and rolls up) at low altitude, skimming the ground, which unlike other frontal clouds, can sometimes move away from the storm that generated it for many tens of kilometers, thus resulting, in such cases, a harmless windy residue, but, as in this case, in the interaction with a more marked orography it tends to become irregular and therefore to dissolve.
The Roll cloud in the photo was formed on the sea by condensing the cooler air descended, through rain and hail, from the considerable T-storm that brought the water of the whole month in less than 3 hours on all the areas facing the Gulf of Trieste.
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 :)
