It was mid morning as the train zooms past this area of Rioveggio -- in Monzuno, part of the province of Bologna. This was a hasty shot, composed in less than 2 seconds -- not really so bad. The train was southwest bound, and the mid morning sun highlighted the foggy mountain side.

Note on Geotags: When I place a geotag, it is as accurate as it can be. You can use the coordinates for your future travels. If you have a GPS device, you can just home on it and you'll see what's on the photo.
A view along Newcastle Quayside showing the Tyne Bridge under construction, 9 February 1928 (TWAM ref. DX57/1/31).
The postcard is unused.
This set celebrates the many postcards in our collections. The people, places and events they show can give us an insight into the past, documenting the landscape, the fashions, the way we lived. Some postcards are unused but others tell us something about the people who bought them, through the messages they wrote. They can give us a fascinating glimpse into people’s lives.

After so many years, the Sears Tower in Chicago, will finally meet its match -- and quite close to it literally. The building under construction to the left is the Trump Tower, soon to be one of the tallest in Chicago and the rest of the American continent. Upon completion, the The Trump Tower will also surpass the 400 meter mark, but slightly shorter than that of the Sears Tower. The Chicago Spire, which has also started construction, will soon top out these two towers, and will be the tallest in North America.
Shot taken early evening from the John Hancock Center observatory.

To create it's award winning "Festival Headland", over £100 million of funding was secured and Blackpool seafront was regenerated over a seven year period; with it receiving national recognition for civil engineering excellence. The development used leading scientific techniques to generate the optimum design in sea defence to help combat climate change, whilst at the same time boosting Blackpool's tourism economy.
** [On a personal note, I have to say that it certainly seems to be money well spent too. It definitely is a wonderful sight to see nowadays.]
Re-upload met een reden. Op 24 en 25 mei zijn delen van de NoordZuidlijn weer open voor wandelingen. Je moet je hiervoor wel inschrijven. De inschrijving start op 14 mei om 12.00u. Lees hierover alles op de website van de NoordZuidlijn. Het is zeer waarschijnlijk dat dit de laatste keer is dat de wandelingen plaatsvinden. De werkzaamheden zijn volgend jaar te ver gevorderd. Gelukkig maar, die metro zal toch echt eens gaan rijden.
Wees erbij en wellicht kom je Harry nog tegen als vrijwilliger, met helm, geel of oranje vestje, grote schoenen en natuurlijk met de camera in de aanslag!
Schrijf je in!

The Pont du Gard was built by the Romans around AD50. It is an aqueduct and part of a system to supply water from the source of the Eure to the city of Nimes, over a distance of 50Km with a vertical drop of only 17 metres...an astonishing civil engineering feat. The Pont du Gard is 48 metres high and has a span of 275 metres. Built in 3 tiers, it crosses the river Gardon at its narrowest point. An incredible and awe-inspiring structure.

River Wear Commission employees constructing Roker Pier, 29 October 1886 (TWAM ref. 3768/8).
This set of images relates to Roker Pier, Sunderland and is taken from a scrapbook kept by Henry Hay Wake, chief engineer to the River Wear Commission.
Henry Wake designed Roker Pier and also oversaw its construction from beginning to end. The Pier' s foundation stone was laid in September 1885 and it was formally opened on 23 September 1903. The Pier is 2,800 feet long and was built of Aberdeen granite and concrete cement at a total cost of £290,000.

مکین خوش تھے کہ جب بند تھے مکانوں میں
کھلے کواڑ تو تالے پڑے زبانوں میں
درخت ماؤں کی مانند انتظار میں ہیں
طیور لوٹ کر نہ آۓ آشیانوں میں
ہوا کی زد پے بھی دو ایک چراغ روشن ہیں
بلا کے حوصلے دیکھے ہیں سخت جانوں میں

This picture has some personal history for me. I first saw this room when I was a kid traveling with my parents. Dad took a slide but there wasn't a lot of light, he had a SEARS 35mm camera and there's a lot of vibration in the room. So his shot was, well let's just say it was kind of shaky.
So when I was there some 50 years later, I made sure I got a sharp picture. In fact, I took the tour specifically to get this shot.
There are millions upon millions of versions of this picture out there. It's a stop on the tour. Some of you know I dislike taking the same shot as everyone else. But this is an exception. It has some history for me, I solved a technical problem that my Dad had, AND it checks a LOT of boxes as far as photo composition goes. It's now one of my all time favorites.
You can read my original comments in the link below.
This is a redux of this picture

Took this shot straight at the midsection of the tower. There's symmetry all over it. Gustave Eiffel was a visionary. It was supposed to be just a 20 year contract putting this tower up -- and when it is turned over to the city, it was supposed to be demolished after the 20 years has lapsed. but its more than a hundred years now since 1889, the tower is still here, and has become a world icon.

The Forth Rail Bridge captured from beach next to North Queensferry town pier. This magnificent structure was opened in 1890 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This angle shows the full complexity of the bridges construction. Setting up for this shot I could see a rain shower approaching and just managed to grab a few images before it arrived.

Snow Filled Sky Ice Filled River Hudson - IMRAN™
Flying in to Manhattan last week I captured thus view of the mighty Hudson River as the early morning light shone on the ice floating in the river waters near the George Washington Bridge. The horizon was a reminder of a fast and cold winter storm that was approaching the area. I was supposed to head to Orlando for a weekend getaway I had bought a year ago but had to keep paying change fees to postpone several times. Alas, the five days four nights @Sheraton vacation was totally wasted when I had to cancel my plans due to being knocked out by a flu going around.

A couple sits by a lake in central park. Two architectural icons can be seen - to the left partially cropped out the Dakota building (built in 1882), and to the right the San Remo Building.
The architectural style easily outdates the 1930's art deco styles seen in Midtown. These buildings are constructed in a style called German Renaissance.
