Just back from my travels, the main purpose being a visit to Melbourne. This is a stitched panorama from one of the bridges across the Yarra River. More distant to the left is the city centre, the buildings on the right are all new. View large. Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a good weekend to follow.

The barge in the background (R) has removed one of the two iconic towers from the old bridge, with the span on which it stood, and taken it to the shore where it is being dismantled. Meanwhile, the concrete counterweight of the other lifting tower has now been removed. Best viewed large, I'd suggest. If you have a few moments, I highly recommend the drone photos in this link showing the barge commencing the span removal. Another week gone! All my best wishes for a very Happy Fence Friday and for a safe and enjoyable weekend, everyone.

Today I went for a stroll on the new bridge, now in use, while looking at the old bridge from a new angle. It is currently being dismantled. Although the details at top right suggest this was taken at 135mm, that is because I forgot to change a setting - the lens is actually 14mm.

The new bridge opened for traffic on the day of Pauline's funeral and we decided to try it as we returned home, my son taking this image of the towers on the old bridge. It didn't seem very long since the first barge arrived to begin building the bridge. The image in the PiP was taken about half an hour before the barge arrival. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

The new Batemans Bay bridge is finally ready for use. I took this image just after crossing on the old bridge, which closed next day. The associated foreshore works will take some time yet to finish, as will dismantling the old bridge. View large. HFF, stay safe and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

Batemans Bay is getting a new bridge. I am fascinated how far this section is able to cantilever outward as it progresses to joining the next. Taken in the morning, another from the other side in the afternoon light is included in a PiP, as is another with more of the new pylons. Best viewed large. Well it's HFF! Best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

There's even a song to go with it.
