Arabesque - by Dennis

1966 film starring Gregory Peck as Professor Pollock and Sophia Loren as Yasmin Azir.
A story of international intrigue involving a university professor, an Arab prime minister, a ruthless businessman, a beautiful spy, and hieroglyphics.
Professor Pollock is marked for death after he deciphers some mysterious Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The climactic chase, with helicopter-borne villains pursuing Pollock and Yasmin under a railway viaduct, was filmed at Crumlin, on the railway line between Newport and Abertillery, Gwent in South Wales.

My photo is of Malmsbury Railway Viaduct.
Constructed of rusticated and finely dressed bluestone, it is the largest masonry bridge in Victoria, and when completed in 1862, it was Australia's longest stone bridge.

The light has really picked out the masonry and given strength to the already strong composition.
This things were built to last!

Beautiful shot - the composition is really effective. It gives an impression of weight which emphasizes the thickness and careful construction of this viaduct.

The perspective you’ve chosen makes this great. I love architecture and I admire the human ability to build monumental works.
