ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic, award-winning amateur photographer based in the South-West of England doing my best to juggle a busy day job with a real passion for creating a broad range of images.

I've been taking pictures for most of my adult life, but over the last 10 years or so I've started to consider myself a photographer in the artistic sense of the word.

The Second Severn Crossing was officially renamed the Prince of Wales Bridge in July 2018. It is the M4 motorway bridge over the River Severn between England and Wales, and was opened in 1996 to supplement the traffic capacity of the Severn Bridge built in 1966. <br /><br />It has a total length of 5,128 metres (16,824 ft).<br /><br />The newer crossing carries far more traffic than the Severn Bridge, which is still in use. It is wider having three lanes and a narrow hard shoulder each way, compared to the two lanes, cycle path and narrow footpath of the original crossing. <br /><br />It is a cable-stayed bridge, whereas the Severn Bridge is a suspension bridge. The position of the bridge is close to that of the Severn Tunnel, which has carried the railway line beneath the river bed since 1886.
