The Grafton Bridge
The word prompt from Nancy’s Photo a Week Challenge: Bridges
“The Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Clarence River Bridge have much in common. They were both completed in 1932, both were engineering marvels of their time and both linked road and rail from north to south. Prior to devoting himself to the Harbour Bridge, J.J.C. Bradfield supervised the design drawings of the Grafton Bridge. “The nickname “the bendy bridge”, results from the upper road carriage needing to detour from above the railway line to the streets below.”

A second bridge is being constructed as the old bridge cannot handle the amount of road traffic now-a-days. You can see bits of the new bridge preparations in the background.

Reflection on the Floor
The word prompt from Nancy: Reflection
So many photos with a reflection from glass or water but this time something different
The reflection from the stained glass windows onto the polished floor of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
The wonderful colours that showered the building from the windows, fell onto the floor
The reds that flowed into greens
and turned again with yellow highlights

It’s bath time so….Ready, Set, Action!
The theme from Nancy this week: Ready, Set, Action
When an eastern Whipbird decides it is bath time it is all ready, set, action!
It’s bath time so I better get in there
I may look bedraggled, but I feel great
Oh damn……..I forgot to wash my feet
Well in I go again
Gracious me……not quite clean enough.
In I go. Ready, set……..
Ahhh. It’s really nice in here. Want to join me?
I might just soak for a while

The Faces of Water
The word prompt from Nancy’s Photo a Week Challenge: Water
Why do I say the faces of water?
Water can have a calm face to look at for ages.
The calm face of the gentle ripple of waves at sunrise
The raging face of floodwaters pounding down the river
The reflective face of water lapping at the hulls of boats
The lonely face hanging from a thread of web
and sometimes the water actually shows its’ face
