I managed to snap some pictures of our local landmark the Forth Rail Bridge in all it's evening glory. Also got a few pictures of the Forth Road Bridge as well.
For those of you who don't know, the rail bridge was built in 1890 and is an enormous structure which has stood the test of time. The road bridge was built in 1964 and is already showing signs of deterioration, so much so that they are now building another road bridge to replace/supplement it.
So in a few years we will have a bridge built in the 19th Century, one built in the 20th Century and one from the 21st Century. Any bets on which one will still be standing in the 22nd Century (ah! they don't make 'em like they use to)
Here are the photos:
