Bristol Harbour Railway

I love those Eastern European cities you see in National Geographic photos, cheap horror films and BBC Four documentaries. The ones with dirty, rusty industry and chimneys that convey the feeling of poverty in freezing winters. The sort of places where old men hobble along the street carrying the family dinner, still alive, under their arms. This bridge gives an approximation of that feeling (but only in photos, there's a busy road behind the camera). When I get back to Bristol in the autumn I want to take some more, and hope an old man crosses, carrying his dinner.
