20110814 Kew Railway Bridge

The railway bridge joining the West-London regions of Kew & Mortlake south of the River Thames with Gunnersbury and Chiswick to the north. Not to be mixed up with Kew Bridge, which is a road bridge, slightly upriver.

In the centre lies Oliver's Island, where a tollhouse once stood to charge passing shipping. The island is named for Oliver Cromwell, who legend says once took refuge there.

At the bottom of the image is the National Archives, while towards the top lies the M4 motorway, and beyond that the London Transport Museum Depot.

Shot from a flight home, with my Nikon D40, fitted with a Tamron 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD (Nikon AFS) lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
