Triumphal Arches of Newcastle, a photo from Tyne and Wear, England

Photographer's Note

The building which you see in the foreground, the Moot Hall, built in what is called a Greek Revival Style (1812) was a courthouse, and later a venue for civil weddings. It was purchased in 2019 by the company owning the Vermont Hotel next to it.
The real reason why I took this photo was a nice alignment of three most photogenic bridges spanning the River Tyne. All three have an element of arch in them, but each bridge operates in a very different way:
The Millennium Bridge (white, in the far left) tilts. In fact I have a picture showing it tilted, "open", taken at the blue hour here:

The Tyne Bridge (green, in the centre) is fixed but it has a very high clearance for the ships to pass. It is the same design as the Harbour Bridge in Sydney.
The Swing Bridge (the smallest white/red arch in the right) swings sideways. I have never seen it in action.
I have of course a whole series of photos showing the bridges from various angles. Most of them should be in this theme:

Good evening Mariusz,
View from a high point, picture is full of urban objects on both sides of the river.
Each of the bridges has a different design, probably from diff. times. The big building on the foreground, indeed drew my attention with the pillrs upon the entrance.
Excellent outcome, cheers,
Ike

Ciao Mariusz, great POV for an other fantastic view of Newcastle, wonderful colors, splendid light, excellent clarity and fine details, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Ciao Mariusz,this is another nice point of view to see a nice slice of Newcastle, with the two arches standing out in the very rich composition, again a very perfect quality capture. Regarding Boavista, my photos are over 20 years old and made with film, very bad quality. When I was there there was practically nothing and the airport runway was overrun with sheep .. hehehe .. anyway the deserted beach you see in my photo no longer exists and they have built some resort villages. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Czesc Mariusz!
Super widok mosty robia wrazenie.
Bardzo roznorodne konstrukcje, ja lubie mosty jako konstrukcje mechaniczne.
Ladny skomponowany kadr, super kolorki i swiatlo.
Myslalem o tym aby fotografowac mosty tak jak okna, ale okazalo sie to trudne.
Malo sie przemieszczam a szcegolnie w obecnym okresie :(
Moze kiedys?
Milego wieczoru.
Krzysztof

Hello Mariusz,
Newcastle upon Tyne has a wonderful collection of bridges, all not far from each other.
In the middle of the photo, more towards the back, we find a remarkable and beautiful building. In an earlier photo you mentioned that this was the Sage Gateshead, a music and arts centre.
Your high POV allowed you to give us a wonderful overview of the constructions along and across the river.
Excellent quality as usual.
Apparently you go to this city regularly. I suspect your hometown is not that far away.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Mariusz
Another good photo over Newcastle and good including the smaller version of Sydney's "coathanger" - do they use the same nickname for this bridge?
cheers
Ian

Hi Mariusz,
Beautiful view from this POV, well photographed with the perspective given by these two bridges, lovely sunlight well captured, tfs.

macjake (98454) 2022-01-10 23:45

Hi Mariusz
Malgo would love this, she is a big fan of bridges. Me too.
too bad the structure in the middle is behind the green bridge, its a bit distracting, but really, not that bad. like you said, to get this pov with the Moot Hall and the 3 bridges is pretty darn special. wonderful. Imagine this same POV in blue hour! wish we could meet up for that photo shoot! cheers
Craig

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled i trenutak, interesantan tekst ...
Lep deo grada i arhitektura, dobro pokazanao sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom sa oblacima koji dolaze.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.
Hvala vam sto ste me upozorili na gresku koju sam napravio oko datuma na fotografiji.

Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje.

Hello Mariusz, you have a lovely collection of 'bridge' shots in your various themes.
There is a real mixture of building styles here before I even study the three bridges.
A very good point of view with the bridges on a diagonal through the frame.
The sharp quality is excellent.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Mariusz.
Sensational this great panorama, of this city that looks very nice and quiet, I love the POV that you have chosen with the view of the river that crosses the city and the three well visible bridges, the one I like the most is the iron central one, with that huge arched structure, big building in the foreground
Good sharpness, lightness, color and the chosen composition are excellent.
A very beautiful photo. I like it.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards, my friend.
Luis.

Hello Mariusz,
Nice observation: Three bridges, three arches. The cutest is the Swing Bridge.
