Another piece of fancy stuff - # 08/107

Last weekend we enjoyed the sight of the lamps on the pedestrian bridge across Richmond Lock. Here we see the elegant curves of the bridge housing the sluice gate controls. The sluices hold back the whole River Thames, so they must be immensely strong. But this massive iron structure is totally elegant and pleasing on the eye.

    It looks like two different photos, the upper and the lower part. Just great in b/w.

    Nice to be reminded that functional structures need not be devoid of humanity.

    How beautiful, and like the others said, great in B&W. I love the different shapes and curves.
