It wasn't a particularly cheap experience but I decided that I couldn't pass the cable car that takes people from the Southern Ridges across to Sentosa Island. It was a remarkable trip!
Very proud to have been informed that this Kingfisher image has been selected by Yorkshire Water Tophill Low Nature Reserve for next years membership card.
Many thanks to all that voted. Much appreciated.
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.

Many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
Cable television, internet and phone service (yes, landlines still are a thing) can produce a swirling mess to catch the eye.
This is the fifth photo I've posted with "curlicue" in the title; must be my twisted mind.

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.
San Francisco's Powell Street cable cars and sidewalks are decorated for the holiday.

Taken at the Lenbachhaus Museum.
The Lenbachhaus was built as a Florentine-style villa for the painter Franz von Lenbach between 1887 and 1891 by Gabriel von Seidl and was expanded 1927-1929 by Hans Grässel and again 1969-1972 by Heinrich Volbehr and Rudolf Thönessen. Some of the rooms have kept their original design.
The city of Munich acquired the building in 1924 and opened a museum there in 1929. The Lenbachhaus was expanded between 1927 and 1929 by Hans Grässel and again between 1969 and 1972 by Heinrich Volbehr and Rudolf Thönessen. The latest wing was closed to the public in 2009 to allow the expansion and restoration of the Lenbachhaus by Norman Foster; the 1972 extension was demolished to make way for the new building. The museum reopened in May 2013. The architect placed the new main entrance on Museumsplatz in front of the Propylaea. The new facade, clad in metal tubes made of an alloy of copper and aluminum, will weather with time.[
