A bridge too far?

I was meaning to cross the Humber bridge by foot in October when i visited Yates, but the weather was atrocious so it was put on the "to do" list. Ive been out and about this weekend as ive finished exams, so on Saturday thought id have a go. Unfortunatley the weather was very cloudy and the Humber was very muddy, so I didnt get the good pictures I could have done with blue sky and fluffy clouds. Still i made it to the other side with no problems and back via Cleethorpes.

Although the "Humber Bridge act" of parliment was passed in 1959, construction wasnt started until 1973, 12 years being taken to secure some government funding. It opened 8 years and £98million after that, in 1981, although due to loans will still be in debt until 2032! It Has a single span of 0.9 miles (total length 1.38 miles), which was the longest of its type in the world until 1997. It offers what would be excellent views of Hull and North Lincolnshire on a clear day.

The 1st picture > > > tulips

This is a colourful picture of a bunch of red tulips taken in my back garden (Preston), and is the 1st of what will hopefully be many pictures added here. Every few days (maybe a day or week depending on "things") or so i intend to add a different picture, covering many different topics of interest to myself, including landscapes, creatures, engineering interest, moving things (boats, trains, cars, etc), people, urban scenes, and generally anything else that i fancy taking or is a good photo.
Each picture can be enlarged by clicking it, or viewed on my Fotopic site where they are uploaded. Most will be taken with my new camera. I will also include technical information of settings and lenses if of note. Images have been resized (usually 1024*768 seems best), and many will have had minor editing. using paint shop. Finally, enjoy the pictures.
