The Bay Bridge's approach rising above a row of buildings along the Embarcadero, with a warm golden light on the facades. The strong lines of the bridge and the tidy rows of windows make a layered, lively picture.
Pylon and stairs at the new fixed bridge being built over the Saint Johns River in Volusia County, Florida.
The Down line at Bloxwich has been lifted in preparation for relaying to increase line speed. It's hard to imagine that just over a week ago there was a level crossing at this location

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.

View along the Tyne Bridge as it nears completion, 25 September 1928 (TWAM ref. 3730/15/23).
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.

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.

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.

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

The picturesque Navajo Bridge crosses the Colorado River’s Marble Canyon near Lee’s Ferry carrying northbound travelers to southern Utah. The original span on the right built in 1929, has been designated an Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and is used for pedestrian traffic only. When completed, at 470 feet above the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, it was the highest steel arch bridge in the world. The span on the left was completed in 1995. Aside from Glen Canyon Bridge, a few miles upstream at Page, Arizona, this is the only roadway crossing of the Colorado River for nearly 600 miles!

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.

This photograph is a view from the North Bound Step Plate Junction looking north, viewed from the Crossover Tunnel. December 1978.
This image is taken from a series documenting the excavation and construction of the north and southbound running tunnels between Jesmond, Haymarket, Monument and Central stations, and the platforms and lower concourses at Monument and Haymarket stations.
The images are taken from the Mott, Hay and Anderson collection, consulting civil engineers responsible from the Tyneside Metro light rail system and the Tyne Pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular tunnels.
The photographers were Turners (Photography) Ltd of 7-15 Pink Lane, Newcastle.
