Breathtaking night panorama of the Clifton Suspension Bridge seen from the edge of the Avon Gorge, with the bridge standing majestic against the intense blue sky of the blue hour. White lights outline the elegant catenary curve of the suspension cables, while the stone pylons shine illuminated like sentinels on both sides of the gorge. In the foreground the limestone rocks of the Avon Gorge, while on the river the light trails of cars crossing the bridge create ribbons of red and white light. In the background the lights of Bristol dot the hill, reminding us that this iconic bridge connects Clifton to the suburb of Leigh Woods on the other side of the gorge.
