Newmarket Viaduct

29th August and we were allowed to walk on the southbound lanes of the new Newmarket Viaduct.  It's not ready for vehicular traffic yet, but for pedestrians it is wonderful.  Great views across Newmarket and a real treat for those able to make the effort to walk the bridge.  The weather was a bit showery and some showers were pretty heavy, but this gave a bit of drama to the skies.

The first shot in this post looks over Newmarket towards the Waitamata Harbour and you can see the rain clouds and the wet roads.  This shot is a five shot HDR image.

Second shot is also an HDR image looking north down the bridge.  You can see the bridge is built on a curve and there's quite a bit of "stuff" underneath used in the bridge construction.

I'll close this post with a few more shots from the bridge ... in fact they're all HDR shots processed in Photomatix Pro.  Some of the clouds are quite interesting ... perhaps let me know what you think.
