We took a walk today, along the pedestrian walkway on the new Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge (2nd Gateway Bridge) and I grabbed a couple of shots from the top, looking back (West) towards the CBD. For astronomical event purposes, the views are severely obstructed by the tall railings, so not a good vantage point for astro-CBD related events.
One is a wide view, the other a telephoto view with the 3rd shot being a heavily distorted pano of the two bridges from their undersides.
The railings that lead up to the bridge are not obscured but as soon as you reach the bridge proper, it is impossible to look out as the railings tower some 2 metres over your head. At each of the 4 lookout bays along the bridge span, there is a token glass window where arguably, you “could” take a photo looking East towards the river mouth and airport.
Cheers
