Some Monasterevin Photographs

Last weekend (feels like it's a week ago!) I had a bit of time on Sunday afternoon. It was a nice day, so I took some photographs on the (round-about) way to the shops for bread and milk and stuff. These are the results - many were deleted, and this is kinda bridge heavy, but as I've said before, there are photographs everywhere, you just have to get out and about and go to them!

This road leads to Monasterevin - I love these old signs, lots of character and texture still in them. That's a mile there, by the way, not a kilometre....!


My travels took me to the train station. The bridge linking the platforms is (naturally) defended by fencing, so I couldn't take the photo I thought I wanted, so this would have to do...


Off I went to recursive infinity after that...


Then down by the Barrow I got a few photos of the Pass bridge, the viaduct and the aqueduct. In the picture below you'll see the rail viaduct and the aquaduct (Grand canal over the river Barrow). For more pictures, follow the link in the title, and enjoy!


Oh, by the way, does anyone know if blogger is broken on chrome?

The bridges of Monasterevin, or, how you cross the canal without getting your feet wet

There are many bridges in Monasterevin, definitely scope for a project one day - It's got Engineering all over! Rail and road viaducts, a canal aqueduct, I've heard it said there are 12, and that you can see them all from one place - must be somewhere high, but maybe I'll find it someday. Gotta count em first!

Anyway, the lifting bridge on the Portarlington Road was recently replaced with a modern one (in the same style) and whilst waiting on a badminton game, I took this one evening.
