135 years of engineering excellence! Yesterday marked another milestone for the Forth Bridge—an enduring marvel of design and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A true feat of Victorian ingenuity that continues to stand strong.

🌉 Some facts:

Opened on 4 March 1890, it was a groundbreaking achievement in railway engineering.

It carries around 200 trains daily, connecting Edinburgh and Fife.

The bridge is 2,467 metres (8,094 feet / 1.53 miles) long, supported by three massive cantilever structures.

It was the first major steel structure in the UK, using around 53,000 tonnes of steel.

The phrase “painting the Forth Bridge” comes from its once-continuous maintenance cycle, which ended in 2011 with a new long-lasting coating.

It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, recognised for its pioneering design.

Have you seen the Forth Bridge in person? 🚆

Nostalgia

A photograph taken about a month ago, when simple pleasures like getting on my bike for a day out (78km) in sunshine was something that was possible and required no thought. Without wishing my days away, I long to be outside....

Before and after. This is what happens when you "shoot into the light" you can end up with amazing details and unusual colour casts that you can build on to produce really atmospheric shots. @unveiledinburgh @ig_edinburgh @edinburgh_residents @unlimitededinburgh @spectacularedinburgh @fife_creative @welcometofife @magnificentscotland @fifecontemp @unlimitedfife #photography #photoedit #lightroomcc #commuterbear #edinburgh #Scotland #sunset #bridges #forthbridges #forthroadbridge #queensferrycrossing (at Peter Valente Graphic Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2TillAVmX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jzs04nt6mgjy
