Two Black and White photographs I took of the Sandridge Railway Bridge in 1995/6 for the exhibition I was invited to participate in, which was called Sandridge Railway Bridge Propositions, held at Platform 2, Degreaves Street Underpass, Melbourne in 1996. The exhibition was initiated by some Melbourne architects and was intended to highlight the need to save the old bridge. I rephotographed the printed images with my digital camera. The second one shows part of Queens Bridge in the background. Below are photographs of the Bridge I took this morning - the first with the clock in the background, the second showing Queens Bridge.
This is my favorite because of the juxtaposition of textures. You can just see the sculptures by Nadim Karam, commissioned by the Melbourne City Council in 2005. However, the next photo provides a better view of the abstract composition.
16 years ago the bridge was inaccessible by foot, but now it is a pedestrian and cycle path. View from Flinders Street end looking over to Southbank. The Yarra River looks particularly muddy at the moment, but beautiful all the same.
