Three bridges by dulciknit

Three bridges

Better on large view again. :-)
You need to look carefully at the bridge piers at the right of the shot to spot them but there are indeed three bridges here. The two nearest carry traffic on the M2 motorway from Strood ( the side we're looking from) to Rochester, across the River Medway. The third bridge is for a high speed train link. All three are arterial links from London to the port of Dover.
There was a gap in my album - no time on the day before our Kent trip to take photos - so I'm backfilling. This was taken from a path directly below the car park of the hotel where we stayed overnight.

(Just in case anyone's wondering, the starry effect on the lights is a result of using a narrow aperture setting. The colour from the street lamps is what you get when you take photos of sodium lamps on the white balance setting for tungsten lighting.)
Stunning shot. So clear and peaceful.

Beautiful shot. Love the 'stars'. Quite an optical illusion as at first glance it looks like one bridge before you start to really look into the shot. Fav. for me.

Besides being a fascinating shot, you're teaching me lots about my new camera (if only I could remember it all!) Love this shot - the coloring is wonderful.and I love the starry look to the lights.

A brilliant shot. I used to travel that way a lot in my youth, before the road became the M2, so will have to think about a trip down that way.

of course love the star shaped light flares, but I also love the monochromatic and then that little RED light! Fav!
