Sunset under Utilitarian Urban Ugliness

            Under the bridge to Ballarat over the Maribyrnong River and shared footway, with the sun about to give up on the day.

(It is easy for the eye to be misled as to where the waterline is in the left hand region of the image.). 

The bridge is the third to be built at the site of the earliest crossing of the Maribyrnong, connecting Melbourne to the goldfields of Ballarat. Called “Lynches Bridge” in every incarnation, this one was built in 1935 and is an early example of composite steel and concrete. (The piers supporting the northwest-bound traffic have open arches, whereas those on the other side merely have surface indentations mimicking the arch outlines. I have been told by a local that originally there were open arches on both sides and that the closed side is the result of prolonged works on the bridge undertaken in the last few years.)
