January 2015 Photo Competition

The topic for this month is:

Bridges

One area of photography where I can claim some small degree of expertise! Your entries can be anything you like but must contain all or part of at least one bridge smile

This thread is for entries AND discussion

Good Luck!

Cheers, Mike.



Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month

All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Won't win the comp but this bridge is a local to me, the worlds first Iron bridge in.........you Guessed it, Ironbridge.
I worked for Shropshire Joinery in 1991 and we made and installed those oak doors below the bridge, still there today. They took from 6am until 11pm to fit as getting a fixing in the stone work proved difficult.

Gotta ask, what's behind the two doors? smile

Gold bars but that's between you and me.

I think it was a council contract, so I'm guessing, council equipment to keep the area of the bridge clean. I recall the doors were commissioned to stop piss heads from drinking in there.

I want the monthly competition to start picking up again so I had to sift through my photography folder and see if I could find anything that fits the theme. Hopefully this counts! hehe
