Another great theme from the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge team, my contribution is The Humber Bridge which was the world’s BIGgest single-span suspension bridge when it opened to traffic on 24 June 1981, the bridge held the record for 16 years, it may now be relegated to sixth place, but it still looks impressive after over 30 years.
[FACTS]
The Humber Bridge, near Kingston upon Hull, England, is a 2,220 m (2,428 yards) single-span suspension bridge, which . It is the sixth-largest of its type in the world. It spans the Humber (the estuary formed by the rivers Trent and Ouse) between Barton-upon-Humber on the south bank and Hessle on the north bank, connecting the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

Really like this capture!
Thanks Kurt, I couldn’t really go wrong on such a glorious day
What a stunning photo! It must be a huge bridge.
Thanks, It sure is, and quite an impressive piece on engineering to see up close
beautiful photo!!!
Thank You 🙂
The angle at which you have taken the bridge helps to show how big it is. Quite impressive.
Thank you so much Colline, the wide angle lens came in handy for that shot 🙂
I am looking forward to seeing more of your photos 🙂
wow that’s a great view 🙂 Impressive !
TYSM 🙂
What a clever shot! And great work finding it!
Thanks 🙂 …A fitting subject for the challenge
great angle for this superb shot!!! left me mouth wide open! ha!
Thanks 🙂 Lol
Wow…thats quite breathtaking…and its British. We’re quite good at bridges 🙂
So right, a great piece of Classic British Engineering
That shot made my head spin! WoW! Amazing 😉
Thanks 🙂
I like the fact that you consciously looked for an angle which supports your story about the bridge being the biggest. Nice perspective.
Thanks Csilla, its always good to go find the right picture, and as you say the correct angle for the story helps 🙂
Fantastic Photo. I’ve been across the Humber Bridge…scary!
The drive up to it is best because you can really appreciate it’s size.
Seemed to take forever to get across!!
But this is a really great picture of a really big bridge 🙂
nice angle. smart!

Wonderfull photos in your blog and I like the custom of it. I opened a blog in memory of my father and I want know what do you think about it, if I don’t disturb you. thanks
Sometimes we need to see the world from the underside. Low angle photography is under appreciated. Your photo not only stretches the dimensions but sells the idea of being one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Really good approach.
Thanks for the fabulous comments, I totally agree about the low angle shots, I was in the clock tower of our local town hall yesterday doing some similar shots looking up into its inner hidden spaces…
It’ll be my next blog post hopefully
Never seen the Humber Bridge from this angle, and that can only be a good thing, can’t it!
I had a great time doing it on what was an amazing afternoon 🙂
