RTF Drone Photo Challenge 23rd November to December 6th - Victorian Engineering and/or National Trust Properties

Sorry for the delay in announcing the winners but it seems you have managed to work it out for yourselves. This post is probably superfluous but here it is anyway:

In third place is Richard - @PitchFader with his favoured 180 pano technique, this time on the Ouse Valley Viaduct near Balcombe on the Brighton Victoria line. It’s a fine, impressive brick structure with four decorative pavilions at each end, worth seeing whilst in the area is the entrance to the Clayton Tunnel on the same main railway line and also slightly quirky in its architecture.

In second place is Tim - @Jabtas, saved by the rules of this Challenge from eliminating the good folk of Saltburn who had braved the weather to visit the pier and appeared in his picture of the fine structure and the water-powered funicular railway.

The winner of this round is Richard Bright - @richrab who seems to have got his inspiration from the image illustrating the competition at the top of this thread. No doubt his excuse is that he lives in Bristol. It’s always good to see and example of Brunel’s work, a man who had the chutzpah to emblazon his Tamar Bridge at Saltash with the simple legend I. K. Brunel, Engineer in large, conspicuous letters.

The Avon Gorge seems to have retained its autumn colours in the rare November sunshine. For more of the history of the bridge and how Brunel’s vision was realised by Barlow and Hawkshaw after Brunel’s death

Well done to everyone who braved the waetherto give us a great set of images and congratulations to the three winners.
