I love the Clifton Suspension bridge - its a thing of beauty. I like this combo of engineering feats - Concorde's last flight included a flyby over the bridge:
For added interest - the white building is one of only two working camera obscuras in the country and the bridge is over Avon Gorge. If you hear of "Silicon Gorge", now you know what it looks like!
Lovely shot. Concorde is a thing of beauty too, all done with pen/paper/slide-rules of course.
At about the time the SS Great Britain was being repatriated, Concorde was undergoing its initial test flights. We saw an early one take off from Filton from across the Bristol Channel in Wales. In those days, it was allowed to do sonic booms as it flew along the Welsh coast. Bloody hell it was loud!
