Cardiograph by Mark J P

This is the Twin Sails bridge in Poole, Dorset, UK.  It was due to open a few weeks ago but due to some unexpected complications it has been delayed indefinitely.

It is lit up at night time and looks pretty interesting from across the water.

(FYI I discovered this evening that all of the lights on the bridge automatically switch off at 12am, having arrived only five minutes before).

You may or may not be able to tell but this is a shot of the new Twin Sails bridge which has recently been completed is due to open in the coming days in Poole, Dorset. It looks pretty impressive at night and can be seen from miles around.

"Night is the mother of thoughts" by Mark J P

A night time shot of Bournemouth town centre taken a few weeks ago in Dorset, UK.  I find town and city centres feel completely different once the sun goes down and the street lights come on.
