Australia-Bridge-Harbour-Steel

A ferris wheel (L) at Luna Park, appears to tower over the Sydney Harbour Bridge (R) as it links the northern and southern shores. The bridge fondly known as the; Coat Hanger and officially opened in March 1932 is the worlds largest (but not longest) steel arch bridge, with six million hand driven rivets and 53, 000 tonnes of steelwork used in its construction and taking 1400 men eight years to build.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print beautifully captures the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park in Australia. Standing tall on the left, Luna Park's ferris wheel seems to dwarf the magnificent steel arch bridge that connects the northern and southern shores of Sydney. Affectionately known as the "Coat Hanger" this architectural marvel was officially opened in March 1932 and remains one of Australia's most recognizable landmarks. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is not only impressive in size but also in its construction details. With an astonishing six million hand-driven rivets and a staggering 53,000 tonnes of steelwork used, it took a team of 1,400 men eight years to complete this engineering masterpiece. The bridge serves as a symbol of unity for Sydneysiders while providing essential transportation between different parts of the city. Photographer Greg Wood has expertly captured this moment, showcasing both historical significance and modern entertainment side by side. The contrast between the timeless beauty of the bridge and the vibrant amusement park creates a visually striking image that encapsulates Sydney's unique charm. Through this photograph, we are reminded of Australia's rich history, remarkable architecture, and enduring spirit. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while inviting us to appreciate both natural wonders and man-made attractions that make our world so extraordinary.
