Blue Hour Severn Crossing Bridge · **21 Likes**

Hello guys, here is The Severn Crossing illuminated against the early morning blue hour, with Its towers and lights reflecting like piano keys in the still waters below.
I hope you enjoy.

Regards
Geoff

Wonderful shot. That looks like the new Severn Crossing which was built after I emigrated. I did cross it's older sibling, the Severn Bridge, a few times when I lived in the UK.

I tend to agree. But I also feel that the photograph would benefit from a bit more of the shoreline to the right, and a crop across the top and bottom to give it a more panoramic look.

The colors are near perfect though.

I agree. I love the symmetry, and yes, the colors are so wonderful.

This is the original bridge

the 2nd Severn crossing is different and has a curve
