This is the photograph clicked exclusively for this blog this evening, the Sun was setting and the light had faded away a great deal. This picture shows almost the whole of Rabindra-Setu (howrah Bridge). On has to use a wide angle camera to capture the picture of the whole bridge and the photograph has to be taken from a point which is little farther. It is located on the world famous river Ganges, at this point the river is known as Hoogli . The Bridge is double cantilever structure as such has no pillars. The depth of Hoogli around this point is so much that it is practically impossible to erect pillars.
