Firth of Forth rail bridge

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 8 July 2012 in Architecture and Portfolio.

As bridges go this has got to be one of the very best, it stands so majestic as it crosses the Firth of Forth.

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

This is a beautiful bridge and a wonderful job you have done - I agree with the others. I would really like to see this in person one day, especially after learning a bit about it's history. And thank you so very much for your kind comments to me, Doug...I am not too worried about that number yet..maybe in 10 more years but for now I shall continue to TRY and enjoy :-) All the Best - Denny
