Sydney Harbour Bridge – Sydney

This location is a very obvious location, as in this was one of the locations that shot up to immense popularity as a filming location back in the mid 90s when Indian directors were doing most of their filming inside the country and even when they stepped out of the country, they did not venture into something as dramatic as this bridge. What made this location even more unforgettable is the angle in which the dance steps from the Telephone ManipOl song were shot and it is precisely for that reason we decided to select the picture that has been used in this post, inspite of there being hundreds of images of the bridge in Flickr.
About the location (from Wiki):
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The dramatic view of the bridge is an iconic image of both Sydney and Australia. The bridge is locally nicknamed “The Coat Hanger” because of its arch-based design.
The bridge was designed and built by Dorman Long and Co Ltd, Middlesbrough Teesside and Cleveland Bridge, Darlington, County Durham and opened in 1932. Until 1967 it was the city’s tallest structure. According to Guinness World Records, it is the world’s widest long-span bridge and it is the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres (440 ft) from top to water level. It is also the fifth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world.
