WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is A and Architecture and this time I am showing the ARCHITECTURE of the ALBERT Bridge that is in BelfastNorthern Ireland. Its three flat ARCHES span the River Lagan and it is one of eight bridges in the city. It was completed in 1890 by Belfast city surveyor J C Bretland AFTER two ARCHES of the previous bridge suddenly collapsed in 1886.  It was opened in 1890 and named after Queen Victoria's grandson, Prince ALBERT  Victor, who laid a foundation stone in 1889.  The 2 images show its AMAZING REFLECTIONS.



I appreciate your visit and comments.

I may not be able to comments as much as usual as I seem to be busier with my many groups so that no one gets cabin fever, so I hope you understand that.
Difficult times for everyone so stay safe.

  3. Yes, beautiful reflections. I am surprised it took four years to complete this bridge. Wonder why the delay from 1886 to 1889 when the corner stone was laid? The bridge must have been well built as it is still functional and looks great.

  4. These reflections really ARE amazing! Especially the decorative molding on the edge of the arch, it makes a wonderful pattern in the water.
