An artsy look at the London Eye.
The London Eye gives great views of central London and I thought it well worth the cost when I went on it. The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually. I took this photo with my Canon DSLR camera on a mixed sunshine & clouds but very warm day in London. More info below at the Wiki link
"Les Mercuriales" are twin towers in Bagnolet, along the "Boulevard Périphérique" in Paris, France. They were built in 1975 and are named "Levant" (Eastern) and "Ponant" (Western).
These towers were part of a larger project in the business district of eastern Paris designed to rebalance the western district "La Défense". This project was interrupted by the first oil crisis leaving the isolated towers on the A3 motorway interchange.
The architecture of the towers was inspired by the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
Architects : Serge Lana and Alfred H. Milh

Millennium Bridge To St Paul's Cathedral in London.
Another of my over one hundred photos of St Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Footbridge over the river Thames in London.
The bridge links Bankside to "The City" of London and has a beautiful view of St Paul's Cathedral as you cross northward. This photo was taken with my Canon Camera at high tide on the Thames. If you have seen the Harry Potter Films you would have seen the bridge with wizards flying under and over it. I have included a link below to St Paul's wiki page for those interested in history. I love this area of London especially on a beautiful day,
Dominant l'horizon bruxellois, cette grue de chantier semble monter la garde sous un vaste ciel traversé de nuages. Photographiée depuis le ring de Bruxelles, sa silhouette métallique se détache avec force, transformant une scène industrielle ordinaire en une présence presque monumentale.
Towering above the Brussels skyline, this construction crane stands like a silent guardian beneath a vast cloud-filled sky. Photographed from the Brussels Ring, its steel framework rises with striking presence, turning an ordinary industrial scene into something almost monumental.

Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust founded in 1282. The bridge was constructed to give better access to the East End of London, which had expanded its commercial potential in the 19th century. The bridge was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales and Alexandra, Princess of Wales in 1894.

This bridge is on Commissioners Street between Don Roadway and Munition Street, across the new river valley. We designed this bridge to accommodate the higher, faster waters expected to flow beneath it during a major storm. The sidewalk also features some wider areas meant to provide a lookout over the new river valley.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Trevor, Wrexham.
This was designed by Thomas Telford and William Jessop, and built by them in 1795 - 1808, and with John Simpson as the Contractor for the stonework and William Hazeldine supplying the cast iron components.
This collaboration resulted in one of the most significant feats of civil engineering during the Industrial revolution.
The Erskine Bridge is a multi span cable-stayed box girder bridge spanning the River Clyde in west central Scotland.
The bridge connects West Dunbartonshire with Renfrewshire and can be used by all types of motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
As well as crossing the Clyde, the bridge also crosses the Forth and Clyde Canal and the North Clyde railway line. A small part of Kilpatrick railway station is situated underneath the bridge at the north side. The bridge is part of the A898 road. On completion the bridge replaced the Erskine to Old Kilpatrick ferry service.

On the outskirts of Ibi, the toy-industry capital of Spain's mountainous interior, construction of the new AIJU extension takes confident shape beneath a cobalt blue sky. A bold grid of steel girders already defines the building's footprint, while a tower crane stands ready in the background, its hook poised mid-air. Temporary site cabins, security fencing and red-and-white tape mark the organised choreography of a working construction site. At the centre of it all, a mature Phoenix palm holds its ground — a quietly defiant reminder that nature doesn't clock off — its fronds pushing into the steel geometry as if staking a claim. Behind the fence, the site hums with unseen activity, laying the foundations for new industry, new ideas and new jobs in a town that has always known how to build things that spark imagination.

Construyendo el futuro del juguete — Ibi, Alicante
A las afueras de Ibi, capital española del juguete en el interior montañoso de Alicante, la nueva ampliación del AIJU toma forma con decisión bajo un cielo de azul intenso. Una retÃcula de vigas de acero ya define la huella del edificio, mientras una grúa torre espera en segundo plano con el gancho suspendido en el aire. Cabinas de obra, vallado de seguridad y cinta roja y blanca marcan la coreografÃa organizada de un solar en plena actividad. En el centro de la escena, una palmera Phoenix madura mantiene su posición — un recordatorio silencioso y desafiante de que la naturaleza no tiene horario laboral — con sus palmas empujando entre la geometrÃa metálica como reclamando su espacio. Tras la valla, el solar bulle con actividad invisible, poniendo los cimientos de nueva industria, nuevas ideas y nuevos empleos en una ciudad que siempre ha sabido construir cosas que despiertan la imaginación.

Few places in Scotland can match the engineering drama of South Queensferry. In this view, a weathered vessel rests on dry land beneath the sweeping deck of the Forth Road Bridge, while beyond it stands the unmistakable silhouette of the Forth Bridge.
Together, these structures tell the story of more than a century of transport across the Firth of Forth. The iconic red cantilever Forth Bridge opened in 1890 and remains one of the world’s great railway engineering achievements. The suspension Forth Road Bridge followed in 1964, carrying generations of road traffic before being joined in 2017 by the nearby Queensferry Crossing, visible to the left.
The old boat may no longer sail, but set against Scotland’s famous bridges it provides a fitting reminder that the Forth has always been a place of travel, trade and connection.
The Martin Luther King Bridge (formerly known as the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge) in Greater St. Louis, is a Metal Cantilever 24 Panel Rivet-Connected Warren Through Truss bridge that is 4,010 feet in total length across the Mississippi River, connecting St. Louis with East St. Louis, Illinois. Constructed in 1951, it features a roadway width of 38 feet, 3 main spans, and 31 approach spans. Planning for the bridge was directed by the engineering firm of George A. Maney and Associates. George A. Maney died during the early engineering stages of the project. Maney, according to local news articles, was also working with Charles A. Ellis on this project, but he died in 1949, so his involvement with this bridge was only in the design stage. Ellis is of note in engineering history as he was responsible for the majority of the engineering design of the Golden Gate Bridge. After these deaths, engineering was taken over by another noted engineering firm, Hazelet and Erdal of Chicago, Illinois.
Many contractors were involved with the actual bridge construction. The general contractor for the bridge was J. Howard, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. Massman Construction Company of Kansas City, Missouri (successor to the noted Kansas City Bridge Company) was the substructure contractor. A number of contractors and subcontractors were involved with the superstructure fabrication and erection. These included the Robinson Erection Company of St. Louis, Missouri, Midland Steel and Allied Fabricators, Stupp Brothers of St. Louis, Missouri, the Bethlehem Steel Company of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and John F. Beasley Company of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Built as a toll bridge, it was owned by the City of East St. Louis. At one time, it carried U.S. Route 40 and U.S. Route 66 across the river. In 1967, the bridge fell into disrepair after the (free) Poplar Street Bridge was completed; traffic moved to the new bridge, resulting in declining toll revenues needed for maintenance. Eventually, ownership was transferred dually to the Missouri and Illinois departments of transportation. In 1987, the states removed the toll for travel across the bridge. A bi-state project for about $24 million to renovate the bridge, at the behest of local civic and government leaders, was carried out in the late 1980’s. In the spring of 1989, the rebuilt bridge was reopened. In June 1990, the lighting of the bridge was completed by the St. Louis Port Authority.
On October 12, 2009, the bridge was closed in order to reduce the old four-lane configuration down to three wider lanes, install a waterproofing membrane over the bridge surface, and to install a concrete barrier to separate eastbound traffic from westbound. Over the previous six years, there had been 38 serious accidents, including several involving fatalities. The $1.4 million project was aimed at eliminating these head-on collisions in the future. The bridge re-opened on October 21, 2009.
Finally, in October 2018, the bridge was closed to all traffic to allow an extensive rehabilitation project to take place. Among other things, this project would replace the deck surface and put a fresh coat of pavement on the roadway, as well as replacing the extensively deteriorated eastern approach spans, and repainting the entire bridge. The bridge was originally expected to reopen to traffic in January 2019. However, due to flooding, the date of reopening was pushed to summer of 2020 with the bridge eventually reopening on August 19, 2020.
Although this is a relatively late example of a riveted cantilever through truss, it remains highly significant due to the increasing rarity of this bridge type left in the United States thanks to demolition. Further, the bridge is technologically significant for the length of the main cantilever span that stretches 962 feet. In the 21st century, it is considered an important contributor to satisfying the transportation needs of the region and enhancing the ambiance of the historic St. Louis riverfront. The bridge was renamed after Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, after the national civil rights leader's April 1968 assassination in Memphis, Tennessee.
