The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a chocolate brown colour

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL THE CANADIANS, which is the Oct. 12.
Heavy Frost this morning only 3C out.
As always, your depth-of-field is perfect, Paul, allowing at that beautiful detail to fill our screens. We have a very old railroad lift bridge, here in North Dakota, that was used only twice... for the same paddlewheeler riverboat going up then down river. Have you ever seen this one raised?

The first rule is: Remove the lens cap!
The second rule is: Always take a litter bag in your car - if it gets full, you can just throw it out the window.
Amazing ... I love the lite blue color of the sky ... I love the angle that you've caught of Tower Bridge ... Beautiful

Well-behaved women seldom make history.
This is one of the best angles of this bridge I have seen. This different angle shows the true beauty of this famous landmark. Fav'd and thanks for sharing!
