Viaduct Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Main New Zealand rail road, which crossing North Island from Auckland to Wellington runs through Tongariro National Park on it way south. There are tens or may be even hundreds bridges of all sizes in the park and around. They call structures like that - viaducts. Sometimes, if you have enough time, you can wait there to see old steam engine which tows line of ancient carriages. Unfortunately we didn't. But at that very moment i was there, I promised myself do cross this bridge inside the train.

Hi Dmitri,
I've also vited the same place admiring that tall but still lightweight construction bridge. But you have better weather. Foreground and background well in balance. Yes, without knowing when trains come it could be a long wait, train traffic is not dense in NZ.

Dmitri, probably you should have looked up the train time table! :) It appears that the track is electrified.

Anyway a good photo. Bridge appears to be quite shaky!

Many times have crossed this gulley, but never been so happy to see this wonderful structure with so fantastic light. Dima, great shot!
