London Bridge: Bad weather . . . - a photo on Flickriver

            This image is included in 5 galleries:- 1)  "vue aérienne, panoramique" curated by Gérard LEBAILLY, 2) "coast" by 
Irina Miroshnikova, 3) "My dream exhibition 216" by Escape & evasion - Capture the moment!, 4) "LA BELLEZA DE LA VIDA." by Maria Cristina Umpiérrez and 5) "Paysages (31) : mes coups de coeur ♥ !" by  Miss-Louly.

This was taken on a morning in an unstable weather: a rain storm was brewing in the distance. Filtered light through cloud cover illuminated the arch with fine details against a dramatic background.  Beyond the horizon is Great Australian Bight. Soon after taking this shot, heavy showers pelted down like mad.

London Bridge is an offshore natural arch in the Port Campbell National Park, Australia. The arch is a significant tourist attraction along the Great Ocean Road near Port Campbell in Victoria. The stack was formed by a gradual process of erosion, and until 1990 formed a complete double-span natural bridge.

The span closer to the shoreline, sparked comparisons with the famous nursery rhyme "London Bridge is falling down" and collapsed unexpectedly on 15 January 1990, leaving two tourists (Kelli Harrison and David Darrington) stranded on the outer span before being rescued by police helicopter. No one was injured in the event.
