The Hell Gate Bridge was opened in 1916, and was the inspiration for the Sydney Harbour Bridge (built in 1925). The red paint used on the bridge fades relatively fast, I believe it had it’s last paint job in 2005 (bright red), but has returned to a very dull maroon color.

Though I have been shooting Panos since film era, what I saw here is amazing, and makes the viewer ‘get into’ the scene !
