Tay Rail Bridge Disaster

The Tay Bridge disaster occurred during a violent storm on 28 December 1879 when the first Tay Rail Bridge collapsed while a train was passing over it from Wormit to Dundee, killing all aboard. The bridge – designed by Sir Thomas Bouch – used lattice girders supported by iron piers, with cast iron columns and wrought iron cross-bracing. The piers were narrower and their cross-bracing was less extensive and robust than on previous similar designs by Bouch.

It is particularly cold this evening and the sky was clear, I headed down to the memorial and set up to try to get some star trails, this image is 18 30 second exposures layered on top of each other.
The one thing that did spoil the shot was the a few cars that also came down with their main beams on, suffice to say several of the shots were over exposed!
