Eastern End of the M62 - Coppermine - 10713.jpg
Eastern End of the M62

I took this from J38 looking towards Hull, where the M62 turns into the A63. The concrete surface remains, and flat-glass lanterns light the carriageway. photo taken at about 6.50pm saturday march 18th 2007.

It may not win, but I like the colours at this time of day.

Bealach na Ba (aged photo) - Coppermine - 10761.jpg
Bealach na Ba (aged photo)

An older-looking version of last month's submission. One comment was that it was the kind of photo that should hang in a local hotel/pub; this is how I've made it look to frame and hang in the house. Taken February 2007.

Captain Cook Bridge - Coppermine - 10743.jpg
Captain Cook Bridge

A night time view from the southern side of the Captain Cook Bridge in Brisbane in 2005, looking toward the city centre. The Bridge carries the Riverside Expressway over the Brisbane River, whereupon it continues south as the South East Freeway, leading eventually to the Gold Coast via the Pacific Highway.

Give Way - Coppermine - 10714.jpg
Give Way

Part of the Barnstaple Bypass involved changing the bottom of Old Stickepath Hill a dead end. When I was there back in December, the Give Way sign still stood (it still stood when I did that tour for BigToe in the latter part of January, but the yellow diversion sign did not!).

The bridge in the background is the Station Viaduct, bringing in the road from the new A39 roundabout to the roundabout (possibly going to be signalised) before the main bridge itself.

Resurfacing work on the A361 at Barnstaple. I don't think we've ever had a photo of people working before, so it might make a nice change...

M1 northbound at Leicester Forest East - Coppermine - 10702.jpg
M1 northbound at Leicester Forest East

Doesn't really stand a chance, especially because of the weather, but never mind. I chose this photo following the plans to close our services with the longest name, and because it houses memories for a few people here.

A406 Redbridge - Twin Flyovers

Did well last month, so I thought I'd have another go! Flyovers at the roundabout with the A12 Eastern Avenue. Once upon a time 'J3' of the M11.

A417 Cirencester Bypass - Coppermine - 10711.jpg
A417 Cirencester Bypass

I took this photo last year. To be honest it wasn't to show the road, it was to show the cowslips amonst the Cotswold stone

Local destinations map sign for Cutteslowe Roundabout on A40 eastbound, north Oxford - Coppermine - 10715.jpg
Local destinations map sign for Cutteslowe Roundabout on A40 eastbound, north Oxford

This picture is an indirect tribute to Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. Immediately behind the sign is one of the Sunderland Avenue hornbeam trees which play a prominent role in the middle volume.

Seafront, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland March 2007

Is this the only mention of a welsh town being signposted from outside the UK?

B5204 Travers Entry, Bold, Near St Helens; Merseyside - Coppermine - 10704.png
B5204 Travers Entry, Bold, Near St Helens; Merseyside

This photo probably won't win because of the great standard of other entries, but i'll sumbit it anyway...:P

A lovely summers day on Merseyside; photographing the access road to the 'The Pastures' housing estate, completed in 2002. The estate is built on the site of the former Bold power station.

This photo IS NOT my own, it is sourced from www.geograph.org.uk.
