Brisvegas is alive.
The Story Bridge is a heritage listed steel cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River that carries vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the northern and the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia.
The road across the bridge is named Bradfield Highway. The bridge connects Fortitude Valley to Kangaroo Point. The Story Bridge opened in 1940 and was tolled until 1947. It is named after prominent public servant John Douglas Story.
Given the early settlement of Kangaroo Point, there is a
long history of residents wanting a bridge between the Brisbane CBD and
Kangaroo Point. Even while the first Victoria Bridge was being constructed
between North Brisbane and South Brisbane in 1865, several hundred people were
petitioning for a second bridge to be built from the Customs House to Kangaroo
Point. In 1888, a meeting was held in the Brisbane Town Hall to demand a bridge
connecting either George Street, Albert Street or Edward Street via the City
Botanic Gardens with any loss of the land from the gardens to be potentially
compensated by removing Government House.

The photography tips for beginners in photography:
1. If you wanna freeze the action, don’t increase your shutter
speed. Just ask the players to freeze and not move.
2. You can clean your camera with soap
3. Some part of your finger should appear in the camera. Gives
a nice blur and focus
4. You don't need a lens to take good photos
5. Lens cap ON, iso to MAX
6. Time for a deep clean? Be sure to exfoliate your sensor

ReplyDeleteCan the residents on both sides of the bridge see the colour at night?
ReplyDeleteIt makes for a glorious photo.
ReplyDeleteFunny tips! I love your dramatic photo though.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see it lit at night. So it is over eighty years old, not bad for a bridge life built at the time.
