Anzac Bridge, sunset

These sunset colours over the inner west suburbs of Annandale and Leichhardt are viewed between the cables of the Anzac Bridge. The bridge was known as the Glebe Island Bridge when it opened in 1995. It was renamed the Anzac Bridge on Remembrance Day, 11th November 1998, to honour the servicemen and women who served in two world wars. The name is derived from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).

This sunset view from the Anzac Bridge over the inner west suburbs of Annandale and Leichhardt is also reflected off Rozelle Bay. This photo was taken a bit further along the bridge from yesterday's sunset shot and a little bit later on when the colours were more vivid.

Anzac Bridge sunset

I was driving close to the Anzac Bridge last weekend and noticed that the clouds and sun were putting on a bit of a show. I managed to walk half way across the bridge and was in time to capture this great shot at sunset.

Pyrmont flats

A glimpse of one of the pylons of Anzac Bridge between a new apartment block on the edge of Waterfront Park and a sandstone cliff, in the inner west suburb of Pyrmont. These new flats called 'evolve' provide excellent views of White Bay.

Rozelle Bay, Anzac Bridge

The view from Glebe Point across Rozelle Bay towards the ANZAC Bridge and Johnstons Bay, that lies between Rozelle and Pyrmont. If you zoom in you can see the the old Glebe Island Bridge, an electrically operated swing bridge, in the background.

Anzac Bridge

ANZAC Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over Johnstons Bay between the suburbs of Pyrmont and Rozelle. Anzac Bridge opened in 1995 and replaced the Glebe Island Bridge, an electrically operated swing bridge that operated since 1901. The new bridge had the same name when it opened but it was changed to ANZAC Bridge on Remembrance Day, 11th November 1998, to honour the memory of the soldiers who served in World War I in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). An Australian flag flies on the eastern pylon and a New Zealand flag flies on the western pylon. Today is Rememberence Day and Australians pause for a minute of silence at 11am to remember those lives lost in wars.
