North Queensferry Stu

Wish you were here

15 January 2005

270.
We were off on the road again: back to Edinburgh to collect Linda and her mum from the airport after their curtailed short break to Amsterdam. Apparently they had a very good time, until last night, when they both took ill. The drive home was a race against the clock, as the passengers were all suffering: Liam with his cough and sore throat; Linda and Cathy with their food poisoning. We almost made it without incident. On the way south, Liam and I stopped off at a very windy and cold North Queensferry, where I wanted to take a few shots of one of Scotland's iconic structures, the Forth Rail Bridge. From the road bridge, North Queensferry and the rail bridge look lovely: from North Queensferry, the rail bridge is one impressive building, and the road bridge looks very similar to Lisbon's Ponte 25 de Abril. From North Queensferry, North Queensferry was depressing. But, hey, it might just have been the weather.

I think my fantasy job might be to design bridges. This one is fantastic. Have you seen the new bridge in the South of France?

This is terrific! I love the strong contrast.

Stu you have chosen the best for your PAD. What an awesome image. I love the perspective and what incredible detail. This is a keeper, bravo my friend.

The bridge looks like old lace tatted together. You did excellent Stu. Wow.

absolutamente fabuloso, grande composição e fantástica arquitectura meu caro amigo.
Vejo que andas numa fase B&W, parece-me bem. Então para semana vens a Portugal, de fugida, já percebi...olha se tiveres oportunidade de dar um salto cá, já sabes que és bem vindo!!!
grande abraço.
P.S. desculpa a falta de feedback, mas não tenho tido nem grande tempo, nem grande vontade para os comentários diários...
Guest 16-Jan-2005 16:50
Great shot, with the scaffolding and the B&W you could be mistaken for looking at it still being built!

Excellent! What happened to the other three bridges ;) hope you all get better soon.
Guest 15-Jan-2005 18:55
Nice image of a truly awesome structure. Like the composition and the mono conversion. Brings back great memories of travelling over it at sunset about 12 years ago. Now if only I could find the shots I took that evening ... :O)
JW15-Jan-2005 18:37

Jim B15-Jan-2005 18:23
