Quote: I assume one of the names refers to the designer/artist but which is which?
The Tarr Steps and M4 Viaduct stamps were both designed by prolific GB stamp designer Jeffrey Matthews. They were printed by Harrison & Sons on Chalk-Surfaced paper. Londonbus1 |

My daughter was in a choir a few years ago that performed a musical documentary about the Stari Most bridge. It was very emotional as this bridge symbolised the integration, division and subsequent reunification of the communities on either side and centres around the story of Mirsad Pasic, a famous diver. I was unfortunate to have witnessed some of the effects of the war firsthand so the hope this performance gave was particularly poignant. http://www.variouspeople.com.au/pro...s/stari-most |

I spend an inordinate amount of time on the National Film Board of Canada website, and this short film is one of the ones I watched the other night. It's about Kahnawake Mohawk from Quebec who work on high-rises in New York City, and deals a bit with their history of such ironwork, including the Quebec Bridge (the easternmost bridge crossing the St. Lawrence River). The bridge collapsed twice during construction, killing a total of 89 people, including a number of Kahnawake. http://www.nfb.ca/film/high_steel/Some horrifying (for me) footage of these men jumping around way up on spindly structures with a thousand pounds of steel swinging around in the air. Yeesh, I'll stay on the ground, thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_bridgeRyan  |
