In suspense...

]]> I couldn't visit Bristol and not show you a shot of Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge. I still find it difficult to believe that Brunel was only 24 years old when he designed this bridge.

Cropped hull

]]> As per Martin's suggestion here's a cropped version of the image I posted a couple of days ago and for those of you who are wondering what it is it is the hull of the SS Great Britain.

Hull

]]> A shot of the hull of the SS Great Britain. The hull actually lies underneath a glass ceiling in an atmosphere of 22% relative humidity to prevent it being further corroded.

Propelled again

Great Propeller

Bernie Webbe — 2008-06-20T00:00:00Z

]]> This is the propeller of Brunel's SS Great Britain. The SS Great Britain which is now in dry dock in Bristol was the first ocean-going ship to have an iron hull and a screw propeller when it was launched in 1843.

We did it!

]]> We did it! Sorry for the lack of recent Shutterchance postings - not enough hours in the day lately. Anyway, I thought I'd just let you know that my two sisters and myself completed the Race for Life in brilliant sunshine in Hampstead, London yesterday.

The Fourth Plinth

Bernie Webbe — 2008-03-31T00:00:00Z

]]> From 1841 until 1999 there was nothing on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London however, now it is the location for contemporary art works which are commissioned specially from leading artists and housed on the plinth for up to two years. The current work on display is Thomas Schutter's sculpture 'Model for a Hotel 2007'. It is an architectural model of a twenty-one storey building, constructed in specially engineered red, yellow and blue glass.
