I like it. The colour in the sky is quite dramatic. The pylon could go though and I wonder what it would be like if you had been standing on the centre line of the two carriageways

Hi,

I couldnt stand near the centre as the bridge ended then. I got as far left as i could.

Is this part of the cut backs - they only build half a bridge

Great light trail! Especially considering it was your first stab at this.

Not a million miles away from me either...

Works for me this shot, can't fault it.

Got to say, I wish my first light trail was as good as this one. The sky makes it for me.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

I have tried this from the road side in the past, but my poor efforts were nothing like this, well done.
