A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.
Chronic neglect of Portlandâs streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city. Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon.
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural sectionâ¦or lack thereof, as in this case. Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect. The asphalt layer is minimal; confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The river-rounded pebbles of the base course layer tell the story of a roadway constructed originally from deficient materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock â a crushed and sieved mix from those same pebbles would suffice. Finally, from the moisture visible in the pothole, and the shape of terrain at the road shoulders, it is clear that poor drainage has contributed to the failure of this road. The conclusion is unequivocal; this road has failed and no amount of patching will restore a level of service â or service life â that should be reasonably expected of it.

I'm not very happy with the contrast, couldn't make those clouds stand out better but i like the perspective and the presence of this guy who seems to be in awe, like I was. It's a very nice piece of civil engineering... :)

NP Hi-Line Bridge at Valley City, North Dakota.
[ from Wikipedia ]
Originally called the High Bridge, the Hi-Line Bridge is a historic railroad bridge located over the Sheyenne River in Valley City, North Dakota. The bridge is 3,860 feet (1,180 m) long and 162 feet (49 m) above the river. Construction work began on July 5, 1906 and it was ready for service on May 8, 1908. At the time it was the longest bridge for its height in the world. It currently remains one of the longest and highest single track railroad viaducts in the United States, and was designated as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2005.
The Northern Pacific Railroad designed and built the bridge to avoid the steep grades into and out of the Sheyenne River valley. At one time, this was a main link in the railroad's coast-to-coast system and was important during both World Wars. To prevent sabotage during the wars, it was guarded by soldiers. The bridge is still used today by freight trains in the BNSF Railway system.

This photograph shows a prototype rail car being tested on the Birmingham test track 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.

The man putting the boot in is Harry Baffy (spelling?), foreman of the derrick crane barge "Queen Mary". A heroic personality.
Most of the men came from the East End, such as the Isle of Dogs. Their rap was hilarious, so inventive and surprising. When the council was sending round pamphlets about Thames flooding I asked Freddy Goff if they’d given him one. He said “Gowd no. They only send the undertaker round our way!” That kind of thing, plus the banter of the labourers from southern Ireland, made my working day funnier than “Till Death us do Part” or “Steptoe” on TV. I used to love eating in tiny cafes in Southwark, chocolate steam pudding and custard (compensation for giving up smoking) to dreadful music (Sandy Shaw, Tom Jones, Rod Steward).
The man in the woolen hat was a steel fixer called Ken. He's standing on the pile cap with the piling foreman called, I think, Mr Woodger.

“When it opened on 17 December 2004, Millau Viaduct set new standards in both planning design and construction, as well as the record as one of the largest cable-stayed bridges in Europe.
At 2.4km long and 270m above the river at its highest point, the Millau viaduct spans a 2km valley in the Massif Central mountain range and forms the final link in the A75 highway from Paris to Barcelona.
The road has two lanes in each direction and costs €400m, which will be recouped by the builder, Eiffage, under a 75-year concession.
The Millau Viaduct rest area, which can be accessed from the A75 motorway or from Millau via the D911 and the Boulevard du Viaduct roads, was inaugurated in July 2017. The viaduct reached a threshold of five million vehicles for the first time on 29 December 2017.”
