Sunset Over Newport Transporter Bridge


My son's girlfriend has a side business called Transparent Treasures that does anything to do with glass. She hand paints/engraves glasses, clocks, vases, etc.,
and was struggling to take photo's.

An emergency call out saw me taking my portable studio and taking many dozens of photo's of glass objects for her website. Not my most difficult job, that was a bag (soft type) shoot!

By the time I left I had to drive past Newport Transporter Bridge, and in between showers, grabbed a few sunset/night photo's of it. The river Usk flooded over last night and could do so again today!

History:
The Newport Transporter Bridge (Welsh: Pont Gludo Casnewydd) is a transporter bridge that crosses the River Usk in Newport, South Wales. The bridge is the lowest crossing on the River Usk. It is a Grade I listed structure. The transporter bridge is very rare, with only eight remaining in use worldwide.

The bridge was designed by French engineer Ferdinand Arnodin. It was built in 1906 and opened by Godfrey Charles Morgan, 1st Viscount Tredegar on 12 September 1906.
