Very dramatic picture, Clive. I love it.

I find it very difficult to shoot bridges, because there is almost always one
end of the bridge that extends into the frame of the image, looking as if it
is not supported by anything.  You've done a great job here at getting it
well anchored in your frame. Perhaps this is because the suspension cables
are held up just in the right corner of the image, while the left tower is
positionned just on the 1/3rd line.  The infrared sure adds a strong feeling
of drama to the scene.

Do you happen to know when the brige was completed?  The suspension tower has
a very ancient look to it while the suspension system seems fairly modern.

Cheers,

Guy
