The construction is done. The old bridge is gonzo, and the pedestrian walkway curving along the side of the new roadbed is complete. The construction site is no more: landscaped grass and lombardy poplars (or something like them) have taken its place.
Edmonton’s most-recent snowfall is mostly melted and although it’s mid-November it feels like a Spring day.
So it’s an ideal time for trying some night shots of the Walterdale Bridge to complement my earlier photos (here and here). Now if only I could have fit my full-height tripod into my suitcase . . .
Isabel – makes my old civil engineering brain cringe just thinking of all the three-dimensional tension and compression calculations that went into the design of that bridge, but do you suppose the lights change colour for Christmas?
John – I do not know if they use seasonal lights. I hope so!
Another example of subjects that often look better at night than daytime. Nice images Isabel
Jim – Thanks! There was another nice one (a full side-on reflection of the lit bridge in the river ice) but I couldn’t get my driver to stop and let me out. Something about the traffic behind us on the High Level Bridge.
Fussy, inconsiderate driver !!
Jim – IKR? Also safe, I have to admit. đŸ™‚
