A bridge on New York state route 59 out of Suffern, NY over the Norfolk Southern railway. The bridge itself is no more than a 100 feet across but the geometric patterns of the metal structure distributes weight beautifully.

The George Washington Bridge is a major link between New Jersey and New York. This double-decked suspension bridge was constructed between 1927 and 1931. Over 102 million vehicles use the bridge in a year, making it the busiest bridges in the world. The photo below is that of one of the two pillars that support the 1450m long bridge.
I took this picture from the roof of a moving car, and my friend obligingly slowed down to a crawl so I could try to get the best possible shot. Thankfully, it was not rush hour and traffic was sparse but slow-moving.
This is a related post to an earlier one on the First Church of Christ, Scientist, the mother church of the christian science movement. 3-shot bracketed HDR using a Nikon D7000 with a tamron 18-250mm lens. Merged and processed in Photomatix Pro.
Driving down from Dallas to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Park near Glen Rose, I took this picture of a red truck reflected in its own gigantic rear-view mirrors. The silver vehicle on the right is the one we were sitting in!

Two of the three primary colours (in RGB colour model) highlighted on this boat undergoing renovation at Albert Docks, Liverpool.
Photographed at the Albert Docks area of Liverpool.
Two pictures of the same object (in this case the “Wheel of Liverpool”) in daylight and late in the night.
Two pictures from the Museum of Liverpool. Large red display with a photo montage of most famous of Liverpools’ exports – the Beatles.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to go and see the Beatles show or visit the Cavern Club in town. Still, there’s always a next time!
The Royal Liver building (pronounced Laiver) is an iconic landmark on Liverpool pier. The two liver birds (one in the picture below) watch over the city and are fabled to bring luck to the city. This building was the tallest structure in the United Kingdom till 1961 and is one of the first buildings in the world to be built with reinforced concrete.
Converted to HDR from a single RAW image in Photomatix Pro.
The old warehouses at the Liverpool docks. The old loading bays are painted a bright red.. Just the opportunity for a photograph. Selectively desaturated to keep the reds only.
Love locks are an increasingly common sight in Europe. I saw them in large quantities in Vilnius many years ago, and more recently in Liverpool a couple of days ago. While love locks may symbolize eternal and unbreakable love, I can’t but agree with municipal authorities that these represent a nuisance. Not only are they expensive to remove, they also litter up a place. Having said that, however, they do make an excellent subject for photography.
These were a few of many hundred locks that have begun to appear on the chain link fences on Liverpool docks by the Mersey.
