This is the railway viaduct that carries the old railway line through Wentworth Park. The viaduct was built in 1922 and now carries the Metro Light Rail line. It slices through Wenty just south of the Fish Markets with this view looking toward the Wattle Street end. Some of the 23 arches have been enclosed but others are capable of parking two cars - but I guess that to be illegal. They would also be good cover for the homeless but the structure is away from the usual beat.

Beautiful construction...love old bridges, viaducts, etc.
Great photo, too, as it leads the eye off into the distance.
And I thank you for your visit and comment, Julie. I think it's wonderful we can share our spaces and thoughts across the world through the photograph medium!
I lived nigh on top of this viaduct for several years. I have always liked it but never photographed it. I think you have done a particularly good job of capturing it ... curving curves.
Amazing structural feat. Wonderful photo of its curve.
There's something calming about the photo as I look at it. I don't know what it is, but it's very nice. Oh, maybe it's the green and spring/summer.
It'd look grand in B&W! ;-)
Nicely composed, very pleasing to look at. It seems to be in very good nick for it's age.
Just love this photo Julie!
Wonderful!

Now that does look like a solid foundation for a Metro Light Rail line.
Happy subway day !
