The start of the Autumnal colours in the Roe Valley Country Park a few weeks ago - this image is of the Old Largy Bridge, also know as the Green Bridge or Dogleap Bridge.
The Karl Theodor Bridge, commonly known as the Old Bridge, is a stone bridge in Heidelberg, crossing the Neckar River. It connects the Old City with the eastern part of the Neuenheim district of the city on the opposite bank.
Built as a residential dwelling in 1480, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont (Beyond the Bridge) is actually considerably older than the Inigo Jones bridge it stands beside. Some years later the building was used as the Courthouse for the surrounding area. From here the most serious offenders could have been taken to Tan y Craig in Llanrwst where they could be hanged outside the old gaol!
Over the centuries Tu Hwnt i’r Bont has fallen into disrepair several times and been rebuilt and restored through the generosity of the townsfolk. During the last century, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont was acquired by the National Trust who have since leased the building for over 50 years.

Millennium Bridge
El Puente del Milenio es un puente colgante, peatonal y fabricado con acero que cruza el río Támesis, a su paso por Londres.
The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London
TOWER BRIDGE – this London icon spans both the River Thames and the ages. Completed in 1894 the bridge ushers 40,000 vehicles safely across the river, daily. An engineering wonder, the bridge required 400 workers and 8 years of construction to complete. The sight of the Gothic towers rising above the skyline is a must-see. The bridge was designed to be architecturally sympathetic with the nearby Tower of London.
Hot off the press, so to speak, this is an image of the famous Forth Bridge taken this morning about 40 minutes before sunrise. Does that count as a night shot? It certainly felt like it.
I was very pleased that conditions were good for the sunrise this morning because I had to make a compromise decision between shooting the Perseid meteor shower of getting up early for sunrise. I’d have been most upset If the sunrise was poor having decided to skip the meteor show. Once upon a time I would have been game to stay up all night shooting a sunset, starscapes, meteor shower and finish off with a sunrise to boot but those days are behind me. So I let somebody else enjoy the night show whilst I was warmly tucked up in bed, albeit with a 3am alarm call, which when I think about it was actually when the Perseids were supposed to be at their peak. Perhaps my logistical planning needs some work. Oh well!

The Zeeland Bridge (Dutch: Zeelandbrug) is the longest bridge in the Netherlands. The bridge spans the Eastern Scheldt estuary. It connects the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in the province of Zeeland.
The Zeeland Bridge was built between 1963 and 1965. It was inaugurated on 15 December 1965 by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, and was originally called Eastern Scheldt Bridge (Dutch: Oosterscheldebrug) before being renamed the Zealand Bridge on 13 April 1967. At the time of its completion, it was the longest bridge in Europe. It has a total length of 5,022 metres, and consists of 48 spans of 95 metres, 2 spans of 72.5 metres and a movable bridge with a width of 40 metres.
The province of Zeeland borrowed the money for the construction of the bridge. The loan was repaid by levying tolls for the first 24 years.
