View of the Tyne Bridge roadway nearing completion, 25 September 1928 (TWAM ref. 3730/15/22).
The Tyne Bridge is one of the North East’s most iconic landmarks. These photographs were taken by James Bacon & Sons of Newcastle and document its construction from March 1927 to October 1928. They belonged to James Geddie, who was Chief Assistant Engineer on the construction of the Bridge with Dorman, Long & Co. Ltd. of Middlesbrough.

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.

Radford Railway Viaduct.
Crossing the canal at 45 degrees this five arch viaduct remains a handsome example of mid 1800's civil engineering, and the bricklayers' and stone-cutters' art...
A crawler crane on Memorial Drive used for setting up a cofferdam for the outflow of an upgraded storm drain system. The Boston area (including Cambridge, where this photo was taken) currently uses a combined sewer system, which can lead to raw sewage overflows during heavy rainfall. This upgrade is part of a series of improvements intended to separate the sewer system in the area.
Normally a shot like this would go on my dedicated heavy equipment posting accounts on Instagram or Tumblr (both of which have the username constructiontruckphotos); however, I really love the motion and colors in this particular photo so I figured that I would share it here, while a slightly more closeup shot will go on those accounts.
The Presidio Parkway reveals one of San Francisco’s most quietly sophisticated pieces of infrastructure here, where elevated roadways sweep past each other with a confidence that feels both engineered and lyrical. Shot from below, the intersecting spans create a deliberate tension between curve and line, weight and lift. The concrete is unapologetically modern, yet it sits lightly against the soft greens of the Presidio and the open sky beyond.
What makes this moment work is restraint. The roads don’t compete for attention; they converse. Each arc guides the eye inward, framing the landscape and pulling focus toward the negative space between structures. It’s a view most people experience at speed, rarely noticing how carefully the geometry has been composed. Slowing down reveals a choreography of motion, where infrastructure becomes architecture.
There’s a distinctly San Francisco sensibility at play. The parkland below tempers the scale of the roadway, reminding you that this city insists on coexistence between nature, history, and movement. The light stays cool and even, allowing texture and structure to do the work without drama. Nothing is overstated. Nothing is decorative. And yet the result feels intentional, calm, and deeply urban.
Scenes like this define the city as much as its landmarks. They speak to how San Francisco moves, how it connects itself, and how beauty often lives in the in-between spaces we pass through every day without looking twice.

A photographic view across the Menai suspension bridge in Bangor, North Wales. Built by one of England's greatest civil engineers, Thomas Telford (1757 - 1834), construction began in 1819 and the bridge opened for traffic in 1826. It crosses the Menai Straits between Bangor and Anglesey.

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.

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!

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.

Saw this while on the road from Madrid to Barcelona. There was some kind of shift in the time-space continuum as we passed it. ;-)

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.
