I am very fond of bridges, because their structures are visible, and thus educational. The conditions of the foundations account for some of the variations in design for reasons we can't see. The progress of both materials and computation show, and there's the basic factor that trains need more rigidity, but an awful lot of it comes down to the imagination, or lack of it, with the main engineer.
I grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, where steel is the biggest business, and when a major bridge was constructed, it was a very handsome steel strut and arch affair. When it was twinned later, it was done in boring old concrete. See Burlington Bay Skyway.
The only re-photographing a scene I've done was for a bridge that my mother shot near here, but it too had been twinned in the meantime.
Of all the pictures I've taken, this one happens to be my favourite. Can you identify it without the code?
