I never tire of photographing this bridge... there's just something about it.
For anyone who doesn't doesn't recognise it, this is the M48 Severn Bridge - the first motorway link across the River Severn between Aust on the English side and Chepstow on the Welsh.

Give us a chance lad! Maybe tomorrow... 
Batsman
Hahaha fair play!
Usksider
Pro Depending on the weather... the light... the cars... the Usk...
Batsman
Hmm well John you seem to be a fan of bridges, Im suprised you havn't been snapping clifton one night!
Usksider
Pro I have! 
I must do it again though... and post the new results.

There's always a squabble with some of my friends and me as to who's driving and who's admiring when we're going near or over bridges!! Particularly that one.
Usksider
Pro Allow yourself some extra time on one of your trips, park the car and walk over it... you may just bump into this old fool coming the other way.
Tentativeplotfinder
I have been tempted to do that...
Usksider
Pro You should... it can be a bit bracing, but it is a lovely walk. 
Tentativeplotfinder
Well, if the chance to head that way comes up again, and I've got time on the way back...
Usksider
Pro Yes, give yourself a treat..
Tentativeplotfinder
Depends who's with me...
Usksider
Pro Drag 'em along!
Tentativeplotfinder
The luxury of having a car and solitariness and some spare time is one that only comes my way once in a blue moon!!
Usksider
Pro I understand that. There must be times when it's extremely frustrating I'd have thought.
Tentativeplotfinder
You learn ways around it....
Usksider
Pro I guess so... it's odd I can't imagine being without a car now, but in reality I never bothered with one until Mrs U was pregnant and it seemed as though it would make life that bit easier... of course that is 22 years ago now!

At the moment, we don't need one, (though I could really, really do with one at the moment - it's an hour by car to the Sick parent, but usually 2-3 hours on which ever form of transport I go on, and the cheapest form doesn't have an evening return service... Luckily, sick parent is now much less sick so we've down to a once a week visit.)
Usksider
Pro That's a bit of a relief then... public transport can be less than convenient at times.
Amazing perspective and view of the bridge. Are you nervous going across it?
Usksider
Pro Not at all... there are walkways on this bridge... I often walk from Wales to England and back... which makes for a good walk.
It is an amazing structure.
Better even than - dare I say it? - the Golden Gate.
Wonderful pics, yet again.
Usksider
Pro In many ways I prefer this bridge to the new one... it's more elegant. Not particularly well designed though. Half a blow leads to lane closures and anything worse means the whole bridge shuts.

Damn I saw the title and thought you had been down the transporter already!
Great pics though!
