Bridgewater Bridge on a Still Morning
I took this shot Saturday morning when the river was still and beautiful. It is of the Bridgewater bridge that crosses the Derwent North of Hobart. The centre of the bridge was a lift span but the cables on the bridge corroded and had to be removed for safety reasons. You can read more about the bridge on the Bridgewater Bridge wikipedia page.
Better Days
This building stands in a field next to the Lyell Highway North of New Norfolk. I always keep an eye out for it and every time i see it it seems to have fallen down a little bit more than the last time but it is always still standing the next time that i go by.
Stormy Day
Last weekend i headed down to the Tasman Peninsula as there was a severe weather warning and i thought i might check out how big the waves were. After taking a tumble and the wind chill, i forgot to focus for most of the shots that i took.
This shot is looking out over what i think is Maingon Bay towards Cape Raoul
Butlers Gorge
Today’s photo is of Butlers Gorge and the Canal taking water from Lake King William to the Tarraleah Power Station.
It is at least 120 kilometres and you make ask therefore why i am including it on a Hobart area photoblog. Probably the two most distinctive features of Hobart would be Mt Wellington and the Derwest River and Estuary. The derwent River flows into and out of Lake King William and the water flowing to the Tarraleah power station flows into the Nive River, which itself flows into the Derwent.
To highlight the use the water for hydro electricity electicity, 60 percent of the water piped to Hobart homes has been through eight different dams to generate electicity before coming out the tap.
Montagu Bay
Today’s shot is of Montagu Bay on the Eastern Shore that i took after sunset today. The location was suggested by one of my long time subscribers Eileen and i thought why not.
Originally i tried to take the shot this morning and thought it might be interesting as there was another Bridgewater Jerry with fog but i thought the picture turned out a little plain.
And just a little while ago i went back again, this time to try a night shot. I admit it could have turned out better but night photography is not my forte by any means.
