Description
A Bridge Of ProgressThe West Gate Bridge, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
The looming structure of the West Gate Bridge overshadows a tranquil, polluted spot of the natural world underneath it.
Is this what we call 'progress'?
Shot under the West Gate Bridge, from Stony Creek Backwash park, in the western suburbs of Melbourne at midday.
Polariser used.
Tools
Nikon D70 | Tamron 70-300mm | ISO 200 | f/11 | 24mm | 1/250 sec

Hey hey, haven't seen your work your work for quite sometime. Welcome back.
Had you not stated that there is pollution in this picture, I wouldve said this was a beautiful picture. Its amazing how one could capture something really bad like pollution and make it look innocently perfect.

Lovely job!
