Daves View
The Firth of Forth Rail Bridge
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 7 April 2008 in Architecture.
Firstly, thanks for all the comments recently, and if I haven't gotten back to you, I will soon; secondly, as this view is just a five minute walk from where I'm staying, expect to see alot more of it in coming weeks.
For those who don't know, this is the Firth of Forth Rail Bridge. On this side of the pond, a task is referred to as painting the Firth of Forth Bridge when it seems never-ending. This is because, until recently, by the time the workforce had completed painting the bridge, they had to start all over again at the other end! Seemingly long-life paint is going to be used, which might put an end to that!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Nice shot of the Firth Bridge, I stayed in the White Lodge on the banks there. Funny the comment from zOOm, that bridge reminds me of dinosaurs too.
