Although young by European standards the Narrows Bridge when it opened in 1959 was the largest pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete bridge in the world according to Wikipedia and is WA Heritage listed. It is easy to be impressed when standing under the bridge by the volume of concrete held up by the triangular shaped columns. As I was taking a few shots, attracted by the reflections in the water and arrow straight lines of sun shining through from above.. a flock of pelicans sailed nonchalantly through...
...on their way to the city :) Happy weekend, take care and stay safe.
Cheeky of them to do that!
ReplyDelete...an interesting look at things!
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting view of a bridge, PDP. And to think pelicans came by too. They look big!
ReplyDeleteA perfect picture, how nice the pelicans came along to brighten your photo!
ReplyDeleteInteresting way to show us the bridge. And I love the added beauty of the pelicans!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics under the bridge, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on a bit of a break Sat evening!
A different view from under the bridge, I like it. It was nice to see the Pelicans using Pelican Pass to get to the city. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this unexpected moments when extra character drifts into the photo. Great reflections.
ReplyDeleteThe lines of light add a lot to the photos.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what those lines were until I read your post! Love the pelicans.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the photobombers!!
ReplyDeletelittle buggers....
ReplyDeleteSweet to see those pelicans passing through!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Grace! That was pretty cool that the pelicans paddled through your shot. That they paddled right through the sunlit strip is awesome.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the bridge from this point of view it is impressive. And what a nice gesture from the pelicans to arrive at just the right moment :)
ReplyDeleteA phantastic reflection and an interesting perspective.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Grace, and funny how the pelicans photobombed your photo. I've never been under the Narrows bridge.
ReplyDeletePhotobombed by Pelicans cannot be bad.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Grace! And hehe, the pelicans sure steal the show. I like to see them at a distance but find it not so funny when such a huge fella comes up to me as happened in Monkey Mia!
ReplyDeleteI love bridges - and I loved your pictures of a bridge from a different view, complete with birds!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. Love your compositional decision and the pelicans were an added bonus. But that is some bridge! Another example of things that make your city so great!
ReplyDeleteFantastic bridge shots Grace. I love bridges from this point of view. And, those pelicans are the perfect addition!
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to be photobombed, pelicans are the way to go!
ReplyDeleteExcellent perspective lines and reflections under this bridge. The pelicans are an added bonus. They are always fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge. Great scene. Great happenstance! Just when you were there to click the shutter (is it still a shutter? LOL)
ReplyDeleteNice photobombers :D Arianna
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
If only my photobombers were pelicans. Nice shots, Grace.
ReplyDeleteThose pelicans were definitely racing, the first over the second yellow line has won :)
ReplyDeleteThe First and Second are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe Pelicans ???
The problem with this whole project is that there's so much planning underway for the carbon storage unit before the local community has had the time to protest or accept the changes in their area. Let's hope that the facility solution will be discussed and explained clearly so all will be clear what will happen when they decide ho to react to this new addition to the area.
