A view of the Hammersmith Suspension Bridge from the Southern (or Surrey) bank. The Fog was thick enough that you couldn't see the other bank of the river, so the bridge looked as though it was heading for an unknown destination. There are some trees on the Surrey Bank, and I liked the juxtaposition of the Tree and the southern pier of the bridge.
Hammersmith Bridge was brought to its present state by Bazelgette, who later designed the London Sewerage system, one of the great Victorian engineering achievements.
Really foggy days in London are rare, maybe there is only one a year nowadays. People do seem to like the mysterious aspect of familiar sights seen in fog.
Other photos of Hammersmith Bridge are in my 'Hammersmith Bridge 'set.

This is fantastic. Such atmosphere, and those
limbs in the foreground! They look like
something CGI'd for spookiness.
I consider this to be a fantastic picture!
Please consider posting it to Picture Fantastic. It would be a great addition to the pool!

03 Август 2010, 21:21 notcub Very good. When I first saw it, I wasn't sure that imposing the tree directly on the bridge worked, but looking a little longer, the mix of tones makes it work brilliantly. Excellent use of the atmosphere. Gives the viewer two things to look at with no or little eye movement between them - very unusual.
