Bridges for CrinklyLion (and everyone else!)

[Kim]

Some quality bridge action on the BCN Main Line canal earlier this evening:



Smethwick Galton Bridge Railway Station (that's the high-level platform on the bridge), with the original Galton Bridge behind it and then the Galton Tunnel in the distance.  As usual, the phone camera doesn't do it justice.

[Deano]

First few bridges from the Annapurna Circuit.

That's a lot of bridges

[Deano]

I'm not done yet, either.

Today's Flickr blog, by the way, marks the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge...

Oh.... the anticipation!

You, sir, are a bridge tease!

Some of those are amazing. And some are worrying. Have you been riding over the footbridges or pushing? The gaps between the planks look just the right width to grab a tyre.

The 'scary bridge' is, erm, particularly scary.

[Deano]

I generally rode, apart from when I was behind a line of donkeys and the whole thing swung alarmingly.

[Cudzoziemiec]

You wouldn't like to fall on a donkey and make an ass of yourself.









No thanks, it's too hot for a coat.

Sellafield Station


Railway bridge over River Calder (the footbridge with Hadrian's cycleway on it can just be seen hiding behind)

[LindaG]

This lot should keep you going for a little bit Crinkles.  Apologies for the blurring, I took some of them from my bicycle when I was riding it.


Somewhere on the Kintyre peninsula.


Lock on the Crinan Canal.  But you can go over it, so it counts, right?


Somewhere near Penyghael on Mull


The start of the scenic route to Salen (Mull)


When the road is diverted, this tea/scone shoppe will have this lovely bridge (and attached waterfall) all to itself.  The owner is from York, and the cheese and onion scones are the best.  He ran out on this day, so I gave him a stern talking-to.


Not far from Salen

That's very clever. A bit like firing arrows from the saddle of a galloping horse, only arguably more useful.

At the western end of the Stroudwater Canal.

No!!!! Take it down!

I've got socks and sandals on in daylight!

Well. That was silly wasn't it? I chose that shot specifically because it was impossible to tell what you were wearing on your feet. And now, you've gone and blown it... 

[L CC]

The shame, the shame...

Let's distract with a nice On Topic Bridge:
another Over the Coquet

It makes you look coquettish.



The one with the hood, please, it's still raining.

That's actually at Chartham too. A friend of mine has a studio just the other side of that bridge. (As did Hugh Hopper too, for all you Canterbury aficionados).

I'm not sure about the Ightham one either. It looks very familiar.

Old bridge, Aylesford

I can't quite work out what bank you are taking that image from. If the Bailey Bridge is behind you, then my Great Gran and Great Aunt lived on the houses out of shot to the left (the first houses on the left after crossing the level crossing towards the bridge) and my Gran went to school at the school opposite the houses. A lovely little village.

Jades Crossing- I rmember the incident and the start of the campaign for the bridge. Very sad and scandalous, piss poor planning in not installing a facility in the first place.
