It is a lovely shot and I wonder what the rest of the Waipa Delta looks like? I never saw a bridge with a skirt like this one has on the bottom arch. Is there a purpose for that? My first impression was that it must be a people walkway but then I can see the steel beams through it so that made me curious.
The bridge is also called the Victoria Bridge, after Queen Victoria. The first bridge here was made of wood, also called the Victoria Bridge, and was eventually replaced with this one. I like your picture as the mist adds mystery. - Dave

Very imaginative name. ;-)
I'd love to be able to see and ride a steamer one of these days. They look so quaint.
The fog lends a lovely atmosphere to your photo.
