Bridge of the night Train

Description

Went out tonight, over 8 km of walking in the dark, clambering and climbing around 90 foot high 100+ year old rusty steel 3 half hour exposures to get one picture.... still didn't turn out as I hoped but I still like it. Then my batteries went dead! oops! Next I'm I'm going back with more powerful light to properly "Light Paint" the bridge :)

This is an old vertical lift draw bridge for trains, it was built to allow stern-wheeler boats to pass under it. Only part of the bridge is show in the picture, the whole thing is about 1 km long (0.62 miles). The bridge is still used to this day, but the draw/lift mechanisms have been disabled.

The river once again claimed something of mine... wind came along and blew one of my new gloves off, Doh! So I was forced to climb the steel with only one glove, lol. ;)

It all good, had lots of fun doing it :D:D
