From what I can see, it looks like the lighting on this bridge at night would be quite good (vertically illuminated pillars + deck).

Can you reshoot from this aspect at night? (obviously the boat might not be there :D )

Picture is now displaying correctly too.

Very interesting composition with the old sailing ship going under the new whizz bang, modern bridge...

Would love to see the bridge at night (or early morning) when it's lit up... Hmmm, might go scouting around there for some good vantage points...

I will definitley try a night shoot at that spot !!

Initially i didn't like the bridge much but it has grown on me a little,

a relation of mine who didn't like the bridge's namesake Henry Bolte
(who presided over the states last hanging whilst premier) has dubbed it ''The Hangmans bridge'' and it has caught on within certain circles .
