'Bridgey' stuff.....!

This is one of the pylons under the Stirling Bridge, which is just east of the Fremantle Traffic Bridge that I posted last Sunday and although it's a fairly 'industrial' looking bridge I did find some interesting aspects to it...Like this face that has 'those' eyes that follow you from whichever angle you look at it, then there is this shadow image of Bon Scott from the rock band ACDC.....

It was also the site for one of the many demonstrations against the export of live animals, a human chain that spanned the length of the bridge (demo) , interesting short video, the Stirling Bridge was picked for the demo because of the many animal transporters that pass over it on their way to the docks at Fremantle. As a result of protests all over Australia, the Government put a six month ban on the export of live animals, the results of which will affect trade and farmers for quite some time into the foreseeable future, it will be interesting to see what the solution will be.....

Oh yes.. and then there was this chap swimming in the Swan River between the two bridges, talking to him on my way past he told me he swims there every day summer through to winter, good on him, he's made of tougher stuff than I .....!!  Another scorcher in Perth today 36C, hope it's a bit more temperate where you are.....!!
