The Infinity Bridge, Stockton-on-Tees
An object that tells a story was what Cheri asked for on the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. I hadn’t intended to take part this week but, returning from a flying visit to a retail park this afternoon, I caught a glimpse of one of my favourite bridges, silhouetted against a wonderful sky. “Can we stop for just a minute?” I asked, and was off like a whirlwind, clutching the camera.
The “story” for me is always what is on the opposite shore. I love the “invitation to cross” that a bridge always provides. How about you?
Again
And again!
Have you entered yet? I’m off to read some of the other “stories”.
You can’t beat a good bridge.
I agree, Dale, and we have some great ones up here 🙂
Great shots! Bridges are marvellous. When we go North, I always look forward to crossing the Sutton Bridge, my camera or iphone in hand…
Best wishes
Dina
Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words, Dina. 🙂
Beautiful shots of a beautiful object. Such graceful lines, and the light and color are perfect.
Thanks, Naomi 🙂 It really is a lovely bridge and the blue sky was a big bonus.
Beautiful bridge, but I’m really taken with the gorgeous sky! Such beautiful blue! 🙂
We had a couple of cold, breezy blue sky days, Debbie. I just posted even bluer ones 🙂 Such a change from grey (yes, it’s back today!)
Jo, your bridge photographs are outstanding. And I love your new look! It’s the perfect vehicle to showcase your travel stories and photographs.
Thanks for the encouragement, Elisa. I like the look too. Still battling technology with headers and menus. I just need to live long enough 🙂
It’s indeed a stunning object. And you captured its beauty in these photos with strength. Awesome photos. Finally I can definitely connect to your story. Bridges are really an invitation to cross.
Otto, thank you so much for the encouragement. It’s blogs like yours that have helped me find one end of a camera from the other in the last year or so and I much appreciate it. 🙂
It’s truly great subject matter, my bridge.
Stunning photography Jo, I love it 🙂
Thanks a lot, Jake 🙂 It really is a superb bridge.
109 liikes … no wonder – magnificent photos …. I really like your new look too.
Have tried on – but all music tracks starts playing at the same time – so I stay the way I’m.
Fantastic entry.
I keep meaning to use Sound Cloud, Vivi, so maybe not a good idea with this theme 🙂 I can only sing one song at a time!
It’s a brilliant bridge. Absolutely love it 🙂 (and you!) Have a happy afternoon.
Jo, you can use Soundcloud with automatic play … because when I tried on your theme … all songs started at once – what a carry on.
Happy afternoon to you too. *smile
Wow Jo, Can’t believe its only a footbridge – thought it was a major thoroughfare!! Beautifully done.
It’s part of a redevelopment of a rather sad area, Tina. Didn’t they do well? 🙂 (though, Lord knows what it cost!)
that bridge just invites you to walk on and cross over to a new place
Thanks, Jo 🙂 I always want to go up and over (but only in my imagination 🙂 )
A spectacular bridge, Jo! Definitely worth photographing. The cloudy sky makes a beautiful backdrop.
Oh, thanks, Ad 🙂 I feel guilty now! I’ve just been mean to your object 😦
No problem, Jo. I totally understand. If it’s any consolation, we have clouds here at the moment.
PS: It’s really warm though. 👿
Whenever I see a bridge I see a story. They are wonderful symbols to use in stories as well. This is a lovely bridge, no wonder you wanted to stop and get a picture, Jo 😀
I have quite a few grey sky shots of it, Dianne, but this breezy evening was just too tempting 🙂
Excellent perspective. Nice! Love your bridge.
Many thanks, Ruth! Did you enjoy Superbowl? Hope your side won 🙂
I look for the story in everything too
You’ve got a tale or two yet to tell, Dallas 🙂
Bridges hold so much mystery don’t they? So much fortitude has went into them and this one is a beauty.
Got to prove we have a little English beauty as well as all the Portuguese loveliness, Laurie 🙂 This bridge is a joy to photograph with the sky as it was.
