Sorry I have not been posting on Flickr for a few weeks, I've been really busy in the lead up to a holiday in Dubai. The good thing is that I am now back with lots of photos to process and post. This has to be one of my favourite shots, taken on the 42nd floor of the Shangri La Hotel. I wrote to the Hotel in advance and they kindly gave me permission to go up and take this shot so long as I tagged them in.

The Kurilpa Bridge (originally known as the Tank Street Bridge) is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The bridge connects Kurilpa Point in South Brisbane to Tank Street in the Brisbane central business district. In 2011, the bridge was judged World Transport Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival.
Baulderstone Queensland Pty Ltd constructed the bridge and the company’s design team included Cox Rayner Architects and Arup Engineers. The bridge was opened on 4 October 2009 by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.
Kurilpa Bridge is the world’s largest hybrid tensegrity bridge. Only the horizontal spars conform to tensegrity principles.
A public competition was held to decide on a new name for the bridge. On 23 November 2008 it was announced that the winning entry was Kurilpa Bridge. The name reflects the Australian Aboriginal word for the South Brisbane and West End area, and means "place for water rats".

This is the east coast of the Isle of Portland in Dorset. Portland Bill with its three lighthouses is just a mile or two to the south. The lantern of the current lighthouse, dating from 1906, can just be seen on the far right.
Portland is a central part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Portland stone, a limestone famous for its use in British and world architecture, including St Paul's Cathedral and the United Nations Headquarters, continues to be quarried here.

Le pont de Wandre relie, en enjambant la Meuse et le canal Albert, Herstal à Liège. Conçu par le bureau d’études René Greisch, il remplace deux ponts indépendants – un sur chaque voie d’eau – devenus obsolètes suite à la mise au gabarit du canal Albert, dont la largeur est passée de 35 à 85 m. Cet ouvrage, inauguré en 1989, vaudra une distinction au bureau qui l’a imaginé, outre une indéniable reconnaissance internationale.
Long de 524 m, le pont est un ouvrage haubané à pylône central unique d’une hauteur de 102 m, réalisé en béton armé et précontraint. Les travées principales ont une portée de 168 m (Meuse) et 144 m (canal Albert) et sont suspendues au pylône en Y renversé par 19 haubans (entre 73 et 175 m de longueur espacés tous les 6 m au niveau du tablier). La travée d’approche de la rive gauche est désolidarisée du reste et courbe afin de palier d’éventuels tassements dus à la présence d’anciens puits de mine.
La mise en œuvre adoptée a maintenu l’utilisation continue des axes routiers et fluviaux, si bien qu’une grande partie du tablier a été réalisée sur la rive gauche et mise en position par poussage, une technique inédite pour les ponts haubanés. Cette première architecturale mondiale est adéquatement rehaussée par un éclairage de nuit mis en place dès la conception.
Depuis 1993, le pont de Wandre est classé monument du patrimoine historique majeur de Belgique.
The Wandre bridge links, by spanning the Meuse and the Albert canal, Herstal to Liège. Designed by the René Greisch design office, it replaces two independent bridges - one on each waterway - which had become obsolete following the upgrading of the Albert Canal, whose width was reduced from 35 to 85 m. This work, inaugurated in 1989, will be worth a distinction to the office which imagined it, in addition to an undeniable international recognition.
The 524 m long bridge is a cable-stayed structure with a single central pylon, 102 m high, made of reinforced and prestressed concrete. The main spans have a span of 168 m (Meuse) and 144 m (Albert canal) and are suspended from the Y pylon overturned by 19 stay cables (between 73 and 175 m in length spaced every 6 m at the level of the deck). The approach span to the left bank is separated from the rest and curved to compensate for any settlements due to the presence of old mine shafts.
The implementation adopted maintained the continuous use of the road and river axes, so much so that a large part of the deck was carried out on the left bank and put into position by pushing, a new technique for cable-stayed bridges. This world architectural first is adequately enhanced by night lighting implemented from the design stage.
Since 1993, the Wandre bridge has been classified as a major historical heritage monument in Belgium.
Taken in Melbourne
Recently bought my third lens ever and my first zoom lens! I now have a 35mm f/2.8, 55mm f/1.8 and a f/2.8 70-200mm. It's so much fun to play with a tele-lens. And that's pretty much all the gear talk you will hear from me.
One thing I have noticed about Melbourne is that their new buildings are very modern looking. They are exceptionally brave with the architecture and while I don't always like the result, I definitely admire their courage to do it. These weird windows are a great example of this.
