Swing low, sweet... bridge
posted by Kerry-Anne
Once they have rounded the breakwater, vessels wanting to enter the V&A Waterfront have to call V&A Bridge Control to request the opening of this Swing Bridge. For pedestrians in a hurry it can be a little disheartening to see the bridge being closed just before you reach it - kind of like a bad episode of The Amazing Race... Fortunately we're not often in a hurry when we visit the Waterfront, and besides, watching a ship gracefully entering the harbour quickly alleviates any irritation one may have been feeling over the imposed wait.

I never thought about a bridge for people closing for boats. It happens in Florida where my son lives but the people walk on the same bridges the cars use.
I really like your photograph.
Today I show my wife, of 52 years, and President Bush's jet that is carrying his automobiles.
