Bascule bridge..

 

I'm sure it goes up and down like the stock market but I have only ever seen the drawbridge, the bascule bridge at Hillarys Boat Harbour open once in all the times we have been there and as the harbour is less than five minutes from home you can guess how many times that is.. twice yesterday :) Took these shots early yesterday morning after coffee with P on the perfect winters day..

... and this one later in the evening when I went back with Aimee to take some reflection shots for her latest photographic challenge, both times, early morning and evening it was deliciously chilly enough for jackets.  Hope you had/are still having a super weekend, happy Monday, take care and stay safe..

    How wonderful to be so close to the water like this. I like both the daytime and the nighttime versions.

    The daytime and nighttime versions are lovely. What a pretty bridge, Grace, it looks grand.

    The blues of your winter captivate me, Grace.

    I wonder how necessary such an expensive mechanism is when it is used so rarely. Great that you caught it open.

    Dearest Grace,
    Excellent photos of the Bascule bridge.
    You sure got perfect winter weather with blue skies.

    That bridge looks like an interesting contraption (that's a good old-fashioned word I haven't used in a long time!). That night-time shot is particularly appealing.

    Uh-oh. I ... never noticed that bridge!
    I feel ashamed. Like really. Where do my eyes go?
    Great shots, though, Grace - oh, I need to learn to look!

    An unusual bridge not much in use I see.

    I had no idea that bridge opened up at all. Great night photo

    A very modern looking bridge. I really love the last shot - the light reflection and the moon make it really special.

    Just completely enjoy the water, and of course my favorite color is any shade of blue! Beautiful captures. You are so lucky living there!
