Gateshead Millennium Bridge Card

Description

Gateshead Millennium Bridge Card. Free UK shipping. A5 size greeting card, with a dramatic Nighttime colour photograph of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne between Gateshead arts quarter on the south bank and Newcastle upon Tyne‘s Quayside area on the north bank. It was the first tilting bridge ever to be constructed. Opened for public use in 2001, the award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architectural practice WilkinsonEyre and structural engineering firm Gifford. The bridge is sometimes called the ‘Blinking Eye Bridge’or the ‘Winking Eye Bridge’ due to its shape and its tilting method. The Millennium Bridge stands as the twentieth tallest structure in the city, and is shorter in stature than the neighbouring Tyne Bridge.

This nighttime photograph was taken, using a tripod, standing on the Swing Bridge. The long exposure required has created this lovely pink colour to the photograph, starting from the coloured light, projected onto the Millennium Bridge arch. This colour is reflected in the water of the River Tyne Below the bridge and into the sky, behind the arch of the bridge. The illuminated Baltic Arts Gallery, provides more warm yellow lighting and coloured reflection in the water.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge Card, comes in a clear cello bag, with a white envelope. The card is left Blank Inside for your own message.

This photograph is also available as a mounted photographic print in both colour and black and white, for more details click here
