This is the Dom Luís Bridge, Porto.

It looks innocent enough but when you don't like heights walking across the top deck next to the handrail when trams are passing you and the whole thing is shaking like it is made out of blancmange is not a pleasant experience!

it looks scarier in down...it is very rusty, and i'm afraid when i walk on it...god damn it! hope you liked Porto :) i love my Porto! onlyricky · 2011-10-25: 12:28

Awesome B&W work! Great subject and balance! Thanks for sharing! davidcardona · 2011-10-25: 12:30

You seem to be developing your own b/w style... are these HDR shots to start? The amount of in focus detail covering such a huge area gives it a poster/ drawing look. Of all that is going on, I'm drawn to the people on the bridge.... although like you, I wouldn't consider crossing it to be "fun"! DancingDolphin · 2011-10-25: 12:35

Nice eye lines. I'm one of the lucky foolhardy ones and don't suffer from vertigo. Oporto always struck me as a rather grim, dour city, unfortunately. I'm glad you got something out of it. revenant · 2011-10-25: 12:40

I wondered if this was the Iron Bridge at Telford from the thumbnail but I realise now that this is altogether more scary! girafferacing · 2011-10-25: 17:24

Walking on this bridge was one of the scariest things I've done... the rail didnt seen high enough, the wind was blowing a gale, and the traffic was thundering across at 300mph at what felt like 2 inches away from you... we needed the Port caves when we got to the other side to calm our nerves, and to build up the courage to cross back again...

Great lines! jet28 · 2011-10-26: 05:59

I love the curves in the bridge, I imagine it is pretty scary to walk on. Perfect subject for b & w. paulamarquis · 2011-10-29: 00:45

You just made my heart pound reading what you wrote. It doesn't look like a problem from the photo- it is your words. A gorgeous shot David. Sure am looking forward to your favorite photo! liveandletlive · 2011-10-30: 01:24
