Good morning, happy snappers, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today takes as its inspiration; Bridges.
I have to admit, I’m spoilt for choice with bridges around here and I’ve photographed many of them before; but yesterday I realised there was at least one I hadn’t captured yet.
On the main road into Barnstaple, a new junction has recently been built, complete with a “bridge to nowhere” as it’s locally known, which will eventually service an upcoming housing development.
The hugely convoluted (and not unimpressive) steel construction isn’t in use yet, but when I arrived there were no workmen about and there wasn’t actually a sign saying you couldn’t use it…
A bit further down the road, there’s an old concrete flyover which carries one of the many country lanes that crisscross the main A361. On this particular lane I discovered a gate which allowed me to capture it from an unusual angle.
I found you can get some interesting panoramic shots on a bridge, too.
Now let’s see what you have for us this week…

I love the unusual perspective shots you’ve got there but my favourites are the edited panoramic shots.

Looks like it is going to be a high dollar neighborhood.
Great angles!

Oh, I doubt that, it’ll just be another regular estate, we need affordable housing

That is a convoluted bridge. I wonder why they curved it around so much. Very unusual.

I think it’s to avoid having very long, splayed ramps at either end
