Bridge in monotone

We met our very good friends for lunch today in North Queensferry and, as always, the amazing Forth Rail Bridge caught my attention. It is such a wonderful [ and regularly photographed ] example of victorian engineering. 
According to that font of all knowledge Wikopaedia '"Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future Edward VII. The bridge carries the Edinburgh–Aberdeen line across the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry and North Queensferry and has a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467 m). When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world, until 1919 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span, with a span of 1,709 feet (521 m).


It's hard to capture the red of the iron when facing the sky so I decided to put it in monotone.
And lunch was great as well :)
