Ouse Valley Viaduct Revisited

Summary:
I'm still intrigued by the Ouse Valley Viaduct which, it turns out, I have travelled over many times on my way to Brighton, a south of England coastal resort. My mum took me often to Brighton, and I visited it a lot with my friends in my teens and my 20's for a day out and a few pints of bitter ale. It only takes about 1 hour and ten minutes from London. The last time I went to Brighton would have been about 5 years ago with my girlfriend. There are many bridges and viaducts on the journey, and as you can't really see the viaduct from inside the train, I wouldn't have known how beautiful it was. It's such as I would have loved to have visited a few when I was younger, but my girlfriend had said that she will go with me when I go. We will video the view from the train, and maybe I will

The last time I went to Brighton would have been about 5 years ago with my girlfriend. There are many bridges and viaducts on the journey, and as you can't really see the viaduct from inside the train, I wouldn't have known how beautiful it was. It's such as I would have loved to have visited a few when I was younger, but my girlfriend had said that she will go with me when I go. We will video the view from the train, and maybe I will put out my first video on YouTube as well as here. My local train station is only a 10 minute walk away, and then getting the train to Haywards Heath, which goes over the viaduct, only takes about 50 minutes. 

Below is a photograph that is very similar to the one that got me interested (the original is in part 1). I did a Google image search on it and up came the Ouse Valley Viaduct. It's worth expanding the photo because it's magnificent, I think. 





I've found some more interesting videos on the Ouse Valley Viaduct. This video is very good too, but what I especially like is that the video maker flew the drone through some of the centre, as seen above. I can't wait to get there and have a wander around this structure.

This video is very interesting and is s munch about photography as it is about the Ouse Valley Viaduct. It's interesting because the photographer takes all the photos using a standard 50mm lens, and I never knew that you can get such great photos from it. It is also called the Balcombe Viaduct.

An evening journey. This one has sound.
