Photographs: Webb Bridge at sunset

On Wednesday, I went with Diana to look at the Webb Bridge, west of the (Melbourne) city centre. Unfortunately, I was brain dead due to lack of sleep and an unexpectedly busy lunch shift. When I reviewed the photographs, I found many areas which I would normally explore, but had failed to even notice them. I also noticed many dodgy compositions- skewed horizons, skyscrapers straddling the frame’s edge….

What? Sounds like throwing a lot of nifty words into a spinning blender.

Regardless, the bridge is a wicked structure.
