This is quite an impressive new footbridge. The wire mesh along the sides of the entry and on either side of the top is interesting. I guess they are trying to keep people from jumping over. For a modern structure, I think it has a lot of personality and in its own way it quite pretty.
Too bad about the graffiti, but I like the style of the bridge. The shadows are also really nice. :)
PS: Thanks for the advice on milk bags, etc. We are going out to look for a holder today. Plus we are visiting a home in Pickering. Keep fingers crossed. :)
This is an intriguing design, with those overly wide triangles requiring some kind of structure included to stop you from falling through. The mesh rather spoils the effect.
I see the curled in roof. Is it like my Grafton bridge to stop people from jumping?
ReplyDeleteYou are right Ann. It also stops people from throwing rocks and other junk below.

ReplyDeletecompleted in 2010 and someone has already marked it up with grafitti...what's wrong with people?!! nice footbridge!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. And yes, just like Tanya, I noticed the brand new graffiti too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame they need to 'enclose' the bridge to prevent bad thing from happening. I suspect the view is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy perspective on graffiti is strange. I despise it on new things, like this bridge, but actually think it enhances abandoned sites.

ReplyDeleteI have never seen that bridge before. Cool one!
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of a cool looking bridge. I like it. MB
ReplyDeleteThat's a mighty smooth lookin' trail. Is the whole thing paved in concrete?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bridge photo.
