Bonneville Lock and Dam consists of several run-of-the-river dam structures that together complete a span of the Columbia River between the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington at River Mile 146.1. Prior to the New Deal, development of the Columbia River with flood control, hydroelectricity, navigation and irrigation was deemed as important. In 1929, the US Army Corps of Engineers published the 308 Report that recommended 10 dams on the river but no action was taken until the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration and the New Deal. During this period America was in the Great Depression, and the dam's construction provided jobs and other economic benefits to the Pacific Northwest. Inexpensive hydroelectricity gave rise to a strong aluminum industry in the area.
The [Old] Alexandra Bridge, built in 1926 to accommodate cars using the Caribou Trail which was established during British Columbia's Gold Rush. Today it is far too narrow to handle 2 lanes of cars, or heavy vehicles, and was replaced with a new bridge in 1961. Now that bridge is under significant alterations/repairs.
How does one show the features of a bridge like this well? I decided to try a close up of the cables and girders to give some idea of it's construction, as well as how those cables were anchored into the rock.

Cable Beach, Broome, Western Australia, is famous for its "Staircase to the moon" photographs, taken at the full moon. I can only imagine how many photographers are there at that time!
No Staircase to the moon in this photo, but a most pleasant evening spent on Cable Beach.
This custom was made because of one reason... you guys. You guys wanted Cable and Bob from Hydra, so here's Cable! Its a super simple figure, and was done in 12 hours. I used the SHIELD torso (based off of Joemark's), a clone trooper head, a sliver arm, and the ACU trooper legs. The hair was the Doctor Who hair, and I really liked it on this figure. The gun is a regular blaster with another gun attached. I think it captured Cable quite nicely, and so does Deadpool. Tell me what you think!
I don't think there is a more cliche shot that you can take at Cable Beach than this.
An absolutely amazing place.
Built for the 2023 Rogue Olympics. 16 pieces.
