I love geometric patterns so when I saw all the triangles mirroring the other side, I had to capture it.
This world famous bridge was opened to traffic in Dec 2004. We called to have a look, shame there didn't seem an easy way to get from the valley up to road level. Called in the visitor centre for some souvenirs.
Wiki says;
The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau), is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France.
Designed by the British architect Norman Foster and French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux, it is the tallest bridge in the world with one mast's summit at 343.0 metres (1,125 ft) above the base of the structure. It is the 17th highest bridge deck in the world, being 270 metres (890 ft) between the road deck and the ground below.

The Centennial Bridge is the second major road crossing of the Panama Canal, the first being the Bridge of the Americas. (Small service bridges are built in the lock structures at Miraflores and Gatún Locks, but these bridges are only usable when the lock gates are closed and have limited capacity.)
The Centennial Bridge is located 15 km (9.3 mi) north of the Bridge of the Americas and crosses the Culebra Cut (Gaillard Cut) close to the Pedro Miguel locks. New freeway sections, connecting Arraijan in the west to Cerro Patacon in the east via the bridge, significantly alleviate congestion on the Bridge of the Americas.
The Bridge of the Americas (Spanish: Puente de las Américas; originally known as the Thatcher Ferry Bridge) is a road bridge in Panama, which spans the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. Completed in 1962, at a cost of US$20 million, it was the only non-swinging bridge (there are two other bridges, one at the Miraflores locks and one at the Gatun locks) connecting the north and south American land masses until the opening of the Centennial Bridge in 2004. The bridge was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel.[
Let me introduce Fidede, pronounced FeeDayDay one of a wonderful group of young people I met in Ottawa's Byward Market.
The group were working with their friend Wande on a fashion shoot for her new Stylist Business.
Fidede approached me to ask some questions about my camera equipment. A stunning woman in her own right, I took the opportunity to mention my project and that I was always looking for people to participate.
Originally from Nigeria Fidede is a second year Civil Engineering student at the University of Ottawa. Coincidentally she is also starting her own fashion blog, hence her keen interest in photography.
Obviously a perfectionist Fidede, has a real passion for knowledge and what it would take to improve her craft. I promised her I would send her some information on prime lenses along with the photographs I had taken of her.
A very spiritual person, Fidede wants to live her life according to her beliefs and along the way do what she can to help people.
A really sweet personality Fidede was very easy to talk to, she responded very quickly to my email with her photographs, thanking me very much, trust me the pleasure was all mine.
Thank you Fidede for taking the time to be a part of the Human Family Project.
Best wishes with your studies and your new fashion blog.
This is my 3rd photograph in the Human Family Project.

After more than three quarters of a century, this tower remains one of Chicago's most notable and remarkable architectural monument. This building was the product of an organized competition for the 'most beautiful and eye-catching building in the world' -- organized by the Chicago Daily Tribune. With its familiar gothic design, and coming up with a building that was more practical for the newspaper company -- it was John Howell's who got the first place award. John Howell would later build another iconic building too -- in New York -- the Rockfeller Center.
This building stands at 141 meters. Located at North Michigan Avenue, overllooking part of the Chicago River. It has been noted that this tower contains interesting stones included in its wall -- rock fragments of Rome's Colosseum and China's great wall. The building also has on display(not included in the walls), one of the many rocks taken from the moon.

The new underground line between Washermanpet and Korukkupet readied by the Chennai Metro Rail Limited. This line included two station as part of Phase 1 extension to Wimco Nagar. The line will offer the residents of North Chennai neighbourhoods access to the transport system. It is expected to be ready in 20 months after contract are awarded.
2 kms of the line will run beneath the northern suburbs of New Washerman pet and Korukkupet. The alignment from Thyagaraya College to Korukkupet Junction have been formed up. Also, authorities have marked areas of potential impact of work on the buildings around proposed stations and tunnels.
According to sources, the silty clay soil will make it easy for boring machine to cut through. However, as the stations have to be built around the 2 km stretch, which is extremely congested, the underground stations will be tough. Phase I of the extension line will begin at Washermanpet underground station. This is part of the Airport - Washermanpet corridor. The tunnel for the line will begin near the Mint flyover. This will be bored under the railway line to Beach station.
This photograph is a view of the bottom of the metro shaft at Argyle St. in Gateshead.
It was taken at some time in 1975.
The photograph is taken from a collection of black and white contact prints documenting the development of the whole of the Metro System in Tyne and Wear.
The images are taken from the Mott, Hay and Anderson Collection, consulting civil engineers responsible for the Tyneside Metro light rail system and the Tyne pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular tunnels.
Most of the photographs were taken by Amber Film Associates and Lambton Visual Aids, 5 and 9 The Side, Newcastle.

Facing east-northeastward at the northernmost section of Minnesota Point. Beyond it stretches the mythic expanse of Lake Superior, today in an unusually beatific mood. Mariners, be not deceived.
The bridge with its towers, high trussed frame, and lake-facing jetties is visible at left, between the sun shimmers on lake and harbor.
This shot, like two others posted recently, was taken from Enger Tower. It puts one of my favorite bridges in its proper natural context: as one small, manmade section of the great baymouth bar that protects the harbors of Duluth and Superior, Wisconsin. For a discussion of this striking coastal landform, see "Geology of Minnesota's North Shore, Part 1."
Of course, if you drive directly up to the bridge on Duluth's Lake Avenue, it looks much more imposing than it does here. In fact, it's such a lovely piece of civil engineering that it's worth a trip from the antipodes just to see it. At least if you're a pontiphiliac. And the best time to walk or drive across it is about fifteen minutes after sunset, when its lights have winked on and the water around it still holds the last crepuscular glow of the fading sky.
Following photos of this set will demonstrate that this span is a vertical-lift bridge. This fairly uncommon design features a moveable central roadway section that is hoisted, still in its usual horizontal orientation, almost all the way up its towers' height, to provide clearance for vessels large and small.
However, until it was refitted in 1929 and 1930, the Aerial Lift Bridge had an even stranger way of doing its duty. For it was a transporter bridge that had a large gondola, suspended by cables attached to the frame overhead. For a quarter of a century the gondola faithfully carried countless loads of people and vehicles from one side of the channel to the other. Each one-way trip took about a minute.

Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!

A lookout tower projects above the wall of the northeast bastion of the Castillo de San Marcos. From this point they could watch for any ships attempting to cross the bar into the harbor. The Castillo is built of blocks of coqunia (a composite shell stone) quarried on Anastasia Island and rafted across the river. Construction of the Castillo was begun in 1672 and took 25 years to complete. Shot in digital infrared.
