Evocative twilight image of the Clifton Suspension Bridge showing in the foreground the majestic eastern limestone pylon, illuminated by warm lights that enhance its Egyptian Gothic arches. The bridge, engineering masterpiece by Isambard Kingdom Brunel completed in 1864, spans 214 meters over the Avon Gorge at a height of 76 meters. The full moon shines in the blue sky of the magic hour, while the bridge lights create a luminous chain crossing the gorge towards the other pylon. This iconic work, symbol of Bristol, represents the triumph of Victorian engineering and attracts millions of visitors from around the world every year.
