It’s not in the dictionary, but if it was, Go Ape would be described as a ‘high-wire forest adventure’.
That means a giant obstacle course up in the trees using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire, and top it all off with the country’s best zip lines.

Location: Amsterdam Noord, Mosveld
Wall: 650 m2 of the complete bridge and tunnel walls
All artists of the Urban Art Exchange SH(OUT)!!! painted together the complete bridge and tunnel walls at the Mosplein in Amsterdam Noord.

URBAN ART MURALISM - ARTIST EXCHANGE in AMSTERDAM
A group of 36 Urban Artists coming from six European countries – Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Italy, France and Austria – took part in the European Art Exchange Project “SH(OUT)!!!” from 18.03.11 to 27.03.11 in Amsterdam.
The main activities included several mural paintings in the city of Amsterdam, an exhibition in the Dokhuis Gallery as well as a common art workshop with local young people.
Nowadays Urban Art has worldwide acceptance as a young art form. Urban Artists form and transform public spaces and present their work, free of charge, throughout the cities. The event gives respect and pays tribute to art from the streets and makes this art form more accessible to a broader audience through various live painting activities in the city, two innovative group exhibitions and workshops.

Breezy Point is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, located on the western end of the Rockaway peninsula, between Rockaway Inlet and Jamaica Bay on the landward side, and the Atlantic Ocean. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community District 14.[1] The community is run by the Breezy Point Cooperative, in which all residents pay the maintenance, security, and community-oriented costs involved with keeping the community private. The cooperative owns the entire 500-acre (2 km2) community; residents own their homes and hold shares in the cooperative.[2] Breezy Point and the Rockaways are less urbanized than most of the rest of New York City.
Due to its history of Irish-American population, Breezy Point has been called the "Irish Riviera." Since the mid-1990s, Italians and Jews have also moved into Breezy Point, making the concentration of Irish-Americans drop.
Built and opened by the Marine Parkway Authority in 1937, it was the longest vertical-lift span in the world for automobiles. The curled tops of the towers were designed to give the bridge a whimsical aspect. Following the 1940 merger of the Marine Parkway Authority and Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, the operation of the bridge fell to TBTA.

Brooklyn is a borough of New York City, coterminous with Kings County, located in the U.S. state of New York. It is the most populous county in the state, the second-most densely populated county in the United States, and New York City's most populous borough, with an estimated 2,648,403 residents in 2020. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, it shares a land border with the borough of Queens at the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan across the East River, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects it with Staten Island.
With a land area of 70.82 square miles (183.4 km2) and water area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Kings County is New York state's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area, though it is the second-largest among the city's five boroughs in terms of area and largest in terms of population. If each borough were ranked as a city, Brooklyn would rank as the third-most populous in the U.S., after Los Angeles and Chicago.
Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city (and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution) until January 1, 1898, when, after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the new Municipal Charter of "Greater New York", Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York, surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn's official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is Eendraght Maeckt Maght, which translates from early modern Dutch as "Unity makes strength".
In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant-garde destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increases and a decrease in housing affordability. Since the 2010s, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship, high technology startup firms, postmodern art and design.

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_du_Port_%C3%A0_l'Anglais
Le pont du Port à l'Anglais est un pont suspendu avec haubans entre Alfortville et Vitry-sur-Seine. Il a été construit entre 1912 et 1927.
Sa portée principale est de 124 m pour une longueur totale de 230 m. le tablier est en acier et les pylônes en béton.
Ce pont suspendu est situé à proximité d'un barrage et deux écluses situées sur les communes d'Alfortville et de Vitry-sur-Seine. Son nom vient de la famille Langlois, premiers propriétaires des terres. Ses trottoirs, qui respectent l'esprit traditionnel des sites éclusiers, permettent de profiter d'une vue panoramique et d'observer les péniches qui entrent et sortent de l'écluse.
On 14th Oct 2018, 10000 Hong Kong protesters hold a rally from Causeway Bay to the Central Office, to protest the government 's plan to spend probably 1 trillion Hong Kong dollars to build artificial islands and accompanying bridges and tunnels in the East of Lantau Island.
The former "East Lantau Metropolis project" proposed to reclaim 1000 hectares , has been replaced this week by an even more ambitious project of "Lantau Tomorrow Vision " of reclaiming 1700 hectares to house 1.1million people by the Chief Executive Carrie Lam, preempting the awaited public consultation report by the Task Force on Land Supply.
The protestors worried the project has not considered the risks under extreme weather, will irreversibly damage the environment, burn up the whole fiscal reserve, and deprive the public of the funding for other more important fields like medical , education, and retirement scheme.
Moreover the project , requiring 2 to 3 decades to complete , cannot cater for the immediate housing needs of the general public, as compared to other source of land supply such as the Fanling Golf Course , brownfield sites and buy back farmland from private estate developers for public housing.
大约一萬名市民於十月十四日參與由銅鑼灣至政總的遊行 ,抗議政府計劃用一萬億元填海及興建東大嶼人工島方案。
示威者認為政府的明日大嶼計劃填海1700公頃及其他的橋樑或隧道, 將會對環境造成不可挽回的影響, 亦未有考慮到人工島能否應付極端的天氣, 財政上會用盡香港的儲備, 亦令到沒有足夠財政資源用於醫療、教育及全民退休保障等。
示威者亦不滿政府亦未有等待土地供應小組的咨詢結果便公佈填海作為主要選項。但填海需時20至30年才提供到1.1百萬人的住宅, 相反其他土地供應選項如收回粉嶺哥爾夫球場、粽地、及用官地收回條例收回地產發展商的農地作公營房屋卻能夠比較快提供到房屋。

Diaries of Gerard "G.I." Sawyer from April 1968 - "G.I." Sawyer,designed many of Washington's landmark bridges and tunnels as the District's chief bridge engineer, including the Dupont Circle tunnel and the never-built three-sisters bridge.
2018 marks 50 years since Washington, D.C., and many other urban areas around the nation exploded in civil disturbances in the wake of the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But as noted at the 2017 D.C. History Conference, D.C. in 1968 was about much more than the civil disturbances.
The workshop serves as an introduction to resources relating to many aspects of life in Washington, D.C. in 1968, including local activist movements, experiments in community-advised policing, and developments in art and architecture.
The kids played with a John Deere remote tractor that we picked up at the thrift store for a good hour. They built ramps & tunnels out of books, and drove him through them. Also, using themselves as bridges and tunnels. Simple pleasures.

The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge consists of a series of bridges and tunnels that connect Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai, three major cities on the Pearl River Delta in China.
this was shot in the Lehigh Tunnel (or was it Lehigh Valley Tunnel) in Pennsylvania about an hour north-northwest of Philadelphia. It's a tunnel bored through a mountain, the first time my car was ever in such a tunnel. On my way down to the deep south (Maryland) I was in a couple underwater tunnels. I love big engineering like bridges and tunnels :)

Oh dear Lord, I actually acquired one! American Bank Note engravers master plate - #81538 - for the 50 cent Toll Scrip note for the New York City Tunnel Authority - the original operator of Queens Midtown Tunnel, as constructed and opened in 1940; and of which was acquired by the Triborough Bridge Authority in 1946, and requiring their name to be changed to the Triborough Bridge *and Tunnel* Authority.
There are four other plates (denominations) known to exist: 25 cent, 40 cent, 60 cent and 75 cent.
The original owner / gallery was asking $10,000 for the set for many years. I contacted them in 2019 with an offer of $2,500 ($500 per plate), but I never heard back.
About a two years after that, I found out the set was broken up and listed on eBay several months prior, and where I found that a few plates fetched way less than that of my offer.
I never saw the auctions so I couldn't even be competitive in bidding. I was to say the least, very disappointed.
Lapse forward to a few months ago, when the owner of the 50 cent plate emailed me (after finding my website on toll scrip of New York & New Jersey:
members.trainweb.com/bedt/toll/nytollscripandtokenspage3....
if I had ever seen a corresponding issued scrip for the plate, which I had not. Only one circulated 25 cent note is known to exist. He is a primarily a collector of engraving plates and banknotes of his country, but also collects other unique printing plates items which is how he ended up acquiring this. I said if he ever considered parting with the plate, give me a holler.
Last week, he did. Since he did not want to ship the plate from his country of residence, he carried the plate with him on a commercial flight to visit family in Florida, and then mailed it to me via UPS upon arrival. Four days later it has now been delivered into my hot little hands!
After ogling it for 30 minutes, and taking a cell phone shot of it; I went to work with some paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and it cleaned up nicely. I think it was coated with beeswax for storage by American Bank Note Company, and it has not been cleaned since, as photos from the auction show the same dirt, and some paper stuck to it. Some very minor pitting from age, but she really cleaned up nicely - almost to a mirror shine.
It will be sent shortly to George Cuhaj, who has at his disposal a intaglio press, where we will make proofs for me (and himself), and then I will recoat it with a preventative. I think I will have it mounted and framed with one of the printed proofs.
Here's the rub: no surviving notes are known so we do not know what color ink it was printed with! The 25 cent was printed dark purple. Was each denomination a different color, or the same - we won't know until a printed example or a printers proof surfaces.
Siderography:
To give a quick understanding of this plate: the toll scrip were not printed from this. This is the master. And engraver did his work on a piece of soft steel. When finished and approved, it went into an oven, and quenched hardening the plate.
Then a cylindrical piece of steel (soft) was rolled across the top of the master under very high pressure, making for a positive, this is called a transfer roll.
Then that "transfer roll" cylinder was hardened.
Then the hardened positive cylinder is rolled back and forth dozens of times under high pressure on a flat plate of soft steel. . This makes for a multiple impression negative printing plate.
This was then installed in a printing press, and then sheets of paper were printed from that, cut and used for currency, note, stock or what have you. Here is a great video of the process, which is called Siderography:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slwn2nDZNtE
In high quantity production, the negative printing plates would be sacrificial; and in the case of say US Banknotes, many dozens or hundreds of plates would be made from the transfer roll.
When the transfer roll was worn out, a new one would be made from the master.
If and when the master plate wore out, a new one needed to be engraved. Slight differences in the master plate allowed for differences in production.
On something like this toll scrip, one master and one transfer roll were in all likelihood, the only ones. with the plates destroyed after use, and the master and the transfer rolls going into company archives.
In the case of American Bank Note Co, they made postage stamps, banknotes, coupons, scrip, stock and bond certificates, even cigar bands; and other engraved printed items.
When they liquidated their archives in 2006, someone was smart enough to offer up for auction through Stacks Bowers; which is how this plate and others survived.
