This is the Woronora Bridge, built by Bob Carr and co. way back when - roughly 2000 - and a very impressive piece of architecture it is. Of course if you live in Bangor (at the top of the hill on the right) your peaceful isolated bush home now has the roar of a six lane highway less than 50 meters away. But you can get to work quickly. The old bridge can be seen at river level towards the background - it's two lanes wide and has a 15 km speed limit on approach.
The walkway under the bridge is broad and handsome. Wooden planks underfoot make it a pleasant surface to walk on, a little springier than you might expect.
The view isn't bad.
Finally an in-focus picture of a spider's web. (Turns out the phone has a "manual" focus facility)
Gum trees from above. Doesn't quite capture the oddness - from the ground the leaves dominate the canopy, but from above the tree seems almost leafless, well on the way to being dead.
The old road, also from above.
