the Humber River Bridge by northy

the Humber River Bridge

This is where the Humber River meets Lake Ontario... this bridge is pretty cool, but like the curvy towers from yesterday, it's kinda been shot to death... however, it is architecture, and this is my first time shooting it, so there ya have it...

This is for architecture week for the flash-o-red theme set by @olivetreeann - a month of black and white with a spot of red on the 14th...

Although I was too late for sunrise (with the sun rising earlier and earlier, hockey practice drop off is now too late for me to get somewhere to catch the sunrise), it was still a spectacular morning... a glorious early day shot is in my other album...

amazing perspective -- this feels so high up. And then that lone figure adds to the drama of that.

beautiful shot of the bridge with the sun lit clouds in the background
February 11th, 2013  
Northy as always you take wonderful shots!! The ripples in the water & sky add to the photograph as well as the single person standing on the bridge. I can see the city line in the background and not sure if you could get a lower pov to get it all in .... but it all adds wonderful to your photograph!!! a fav for me :)

Wonderful!!! I love the contrasts and the effect of the sun
February 12th, 2013  
Stunner. We all have to take our own shot of the cliche. Often we find something new if we look hard and see what is really there, forgetting what others have done.
February 12th, 2013  
This is just incredible.
February 12th, 2013  
oh, and I faved it. I sometimes forget to say.

this is a great shot! i have a shot of this bridge with a bicyclist riding by. did you take this from the side of the highway? it's kind of a cool place to shoot the water from, ain't it?
February 14th, 2013  
@summerfield tx! nope, not by the highway... went down to the waterfront (took some doing to find a parking spot as i'd never been down there before)... i was standing by the railing you can see at the bottom right...
