The Britannia Bridge by jocasta

The Britannia Bridge

I'm back on Anglesey - and the journey here was a bit wet. To get on to Anglesey there are two amazing bridges - The Britannia Bridge and the Menai Bridge. http://menaibridges.co.uk/bbhistory.php This is what the Britannia bridge looked like as I drove over it. Not quite the heatwave of a few weeks ago.(Best on black)
Thank you everybody who looks and comments - I really appreciate it - so much fun sharing photos with other photographers.
Hope you have a good weekend.
This one I absolutely love. My grandfather was an auxiliary fireman in Holyhead and was injured when the original railway bridge was set on fire - not the major fire in 1970 but an earlier one in the 30s, I think. What a wonderful idea for a shot, beautiful in b&w.

Great shot! I can almost hear the drumming of the rain on the window. Lovely conversion to b&w too.

Love it. Great shot - hope you weren't driving when you took it - what is the fine for taking photos with a phone while driving?

Still possible to pick out this iconic bridge despite the rain which has produced a great effect. Have a lovely weekend.

Wonderfully done.
These bridges hold so many memories for me.
You should tag this for the nostalgia theme.

Wonderful! Instant fav! I love taking shots through the car windows when it's raining! It's a great shot - you can see what it is but it has these beautiful distortions that make it really interesting.
