The Windmill Street Bridge and the Munn Street Bridge over Hickson Road at Millers Point. The road was cut out of the sandstone cliff to provide a link between the wharves on Walsh Bay and those being built at Darling Harbour, requiring these bridges to be built in 1910.
Love the angle of this shot!
ReplyDeleteTerrific bridge shot. As I scrolled down I expected water.
ReplyDeleteI looked at a lot of your blog posts. You take beautiful photos. Cool idea to have a blog with pictures of a certain locale.
Thanks for visiting mine as well.

The structure of this area is complex, isn't it? All as a result of the changes wrought after the plague. And of the need to have upper and lower access to the wharves. A good perspective to this shot, Jim.
ReplyDeleteSurely much history traveled both beneath and on top. Impressive.

ReplyDeleteinteresting scenery-2 bridges! cool shot and info:-) happy weekend
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot!
ReplyDeletei think i've been above this bridge looking down at night. great shots to be had at night if you get a chance to be on the bridge. interesting lighting of the road below :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's something alluring about the sweep of the road, which was designed to take rail, and may still. As much as I hate much of our RTA xs signage, that zigzag on the road looks - almost funky.
ReplyDeleteimagine the engineers were so good back then. Today, we had an opening of our new viaduct. It was pouring, we didn't go.
ReplyDeleteSuper bridge shot, Jim... I like your angle that shows both of them.
ReplyDeleteTwo very workmanlike bridges.
ReplyDeleteWOW, the angle makes this photo double super :-D
ReplyDeleteVery wide bridges. It is such a marvel when you think of the road being cut out of the stone in 1910 without the modern equipment we have today. MB
