Modern bridge clashes badly with the old bridge and the boats below. Shame that.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully shaped pedestrian bridge, but where did you get the sunshine and blue skies from?!
ReplyDeleteThat was in a recent rare sunny lunchtime!
DeleteGreat architecture there. Modern creations come with lot of curves. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteA fine old mix of old and new - that's what I like about our cities.
ReplyDeleteA very modern bridge with amazing structure and you got a wonderful picture!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

There is a lot to see in this photo. The bridge is so cheerful and unusual...and I love the canal and that boat.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, this an amazingly beautiful picture of a great place. Wonderful. Please have a good new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteTerrific contrast between old and new - I like this! And the canal barge doesn't hurt either! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bridges but really like the canal boat!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great barge! I love the little bridge to the bars. - Margy
