BEGINNINGS....

.... thanks to JensPhotos for hosting Mono Monday again this month - I had "promised" to remember it was Monday.... he he... and find a pic!

Well there is a BIG story behind this - firstly the original bridge over the mighty Hawkesbury river at Windsor was the "beginning" of allowing passage further west "back when" ... info here, and good info here.

As time has gone "fast forward" to current and the decision for the need of a new bridge was obvious BUT .... the area and the crossing area has soooo much Heritage there has been  massive objection with objectors sitting on the edge of the river area offering reasoning as to why the new bridge should NOT be built here! ... if you are keen and have time the objectors have prepared their case here.

Anyways.... back to mono Monday and the theme of "beginnings" I felt locally this certainly qualified after all the too and fro with Government prior to the start of building.

The objectors still man their tent every day (been there for well over 1000 days) and you know in some ways although being a progressive person, do feel they had a case with this build??

Enjoy and have a look in LARGE - this is a "stitch" of three pics, and shows the current bridge to left of the new build.
