Photo of a Photo - Sydney Harbour Bridge

Still rather busy at the moment so here is a photo taken at one of the exhibitions in the State Library in Sydney.

Of course, I didn't take the original photo of the building of Sydney Harbour Bridge, but I did take the photo of the photo. It was such an interesting exhibition about the construction of the bridge and I just loved this picture.
I'm glad I wasn't walking over it on that day !

Super - we did the bridge walk when we visited Oz a while back. We even had to have hankies pinned to us so they wouldn't fall onto the traffic! A great experience

I’ve seen many photos of the bridge, including some I took myself, but I’ve never seen one like this. It is fascinating.

I love to see these old photos and compare them with what the place looks like today. You have made a perfect copy of this vintage image.

An unusual view of an icon. I have a postcard of a similar thing with construction of the Eiffel tower

@kjarn I think you would have had to jump.

@lyndamcg Must have been a memorable experience. Yes, I heard that everything had to be attached to you to stop it falling.

@ludwigsdiana @susiemc @haskar @gilbertwood @paul10 @hermann @sangwann @louannwarren @henrir @beryl @angelar @julzmaioro @yaorenliu @happypat @seattlite It was such an interesting exhibition with lots of photos of the construction too. The centre piece of the arch had to be installed at night because the sections expanded in the heat of the day and contracted at night.

@pcoulson I love looking at old photos too. All the exhibitions were fabulous and there were lots of old photos to see too.

Wow great bridge!

Beautiful photo, love the history of our famous places.

I think we've become so used to modern construction we have forgotten how ground breaking building something like this was. Awesome original, great reproduction on your part with no glare!

@olivetreeann It was so interesting to read the stories and see photos of the construction of the bridge.
