Anglesey cruise 3 (The Menai Straits)
2011.08.17
Menai Bridge built by Thomas Telford in 1826
Britannia Bridge in the distance. White Knight says to Alice, 'I heard him then, for I had just completed my design. To keep the Menai Bridge from rust. By boiling it in wine.' Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass |
Britannia Bridge, built by Robert Stephenson in 1850
This carries the railway as well as the road to Holyhead and from there the ferries go to Ireland. |

Two bridges cross the Menai Straits, linking the island of Anglesey to mainland Wales.

Dramatic mood in shot 2, I like it and is it not dangerous for the habitants of the house when there is a flood? Well I think they may have boats there :))
