A taste of Scotland.
The Forth Rail Bridge is wrapped in bandages - under repair. It is, after all, 118 years old!
Images (except the aerial one) by me.
Apologies if you don't like bagpipe music. The opening and closing pieces are by a crazy busking band recorded in Buchanan Street, Glasgow. The main music is a 'pibroch' - a lament.

    You know me well enough by now, James, to know that I'd love the way you opened the piece with that treatment of Stirling Bridge. For the rest, the dirge of the pipes carried me along, but I fear that your loving caress of the rest of the bridges didn't do for me what the opening shot did. (And the music at the end? I thought of Arabic dancing--why?)

    Excellent James, I love that music and those slow B&W - color transitions.

    Why is it that bridges are so fascinating? Is it because they bring people together?

    Two minor remarks though:
    - the change-over from audio1 to audio2 around sec.10 is too abrupt in my opinion: you could prepare (fade-in/fade-out) the audio clips in advance with Audacity, or try to insert an extra 1 sec image without sound in between
    - I personally wouldn't overdo it when zooming in if the resolution/quality of the photo doesn't permit, unless you think that a little blurry touch is part of the Scottish landscape
