Bridge on the motorway near a tiled wall (travelling to North Wales)….
across the Menai Straits on a rainy day (on the way back from Anglesey!)
Gaudi Cathedral and a bridge between spires(whizzing over to Spain)
and back to good ole Britain, lets walk under a bridge..
and a nice reflective shot ……
oh, and another local shot (hope that’s not a bridge too far!)……….
My random selection of bridge photos……(http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/02/22/travel-theme-bridges/)
Some metal and colour at Leith Docks (Edinburgh)….
I saw this at Leith docks and zoomed to snap a picture, not sure but guessing it could be an Anthony Gormley and also not sure if the seagull was part of it or not……… 🙂
We couldn’t walk any closer by the looks of the rickety construction in between ……. I like the tension of the figure standing there endlessly gazing out over the water (whatever the weather I presume)
(I did some checking up and no, the seagull was just passing by (as many others had also done by appearance!)….I found out that this is one of six figures installed between the Scottish National Gallery and the sea from a 2010 commission.)
Now I need to find the other five figures……..
You may or may not want to hire these orange socks for your Scottish wedding……
Gaudy gilded golden statues in Barcelona…..
a little bit of Christmas gaudiness…..
and a cheerful coat that would brighten up any cold British day…
thank you for the theme from http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/02/08/travel-theme-gaudy/
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
