Giethoorn is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Giethoorn used to be a carfree town known in the Netherlands as "Venice of the North" or "Venice of the Netherlands". It has over 180 bridges. In the old part of the village, there were no roads (nowadays there is a cycling path), and all transport was done by water over one of the many canals. The lakes in Giethoorn were formed by peat unearthing.
Giethoorn was founded by fugitives from the Mediterranean region in around AD 1230.

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!
Road engineering of 1830 - a bridge carrying the Maidstone-Cranbrook turnpike across the Loose Valley near Maidstone, Kent. The turnpike was surveyed by Henry Robinson Palmer and this bridge enabled the road to avoid the former steep descent and ascent of the valley. Shortly after this railways rendered trunk roads largely redundant and road engineering took a break for nearly 100 years.
This bridge today still carries the A229 across the valley.

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 Portland’s 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 section…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, except for the broken patch left of center – obviously a previous attempt to repair this same pothole – 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 – 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 – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.

University of Salford academics have published a study, which shows that the flow of fresh water to Iraq via the Diyala River has been depleted by man-made regulation at its source in Iran, and have called for a treaty to protect Iraq’s water supply.
The Diyala River forms a natural border between Iran and Iraq for around 20 miles. It flows from Iran’s Zagros Mountains into eastern Iraq and joins the Tigris near Baghdad.
The new research shows that there has been a sharp shift in the flow of the Diyala during the last 15 years which cannot be attributed to climate change and dry spells alone. The reduction correlates with the building of dams, large-scale irrigation schemes, fish farms, and the industrial and municipal use of water upstream in Iran, causing the dwindling of the river’s flow into Iraq.

New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey
Completed 1908
...[O]ne of the greatest engineering feats ever accomplished, greater perhaps than the Panama Canal will be when opened, considering the obstacles which had to be overcome...
- The New York Times, 1908
A transportation tunnel under the Hudson River connecting Manhattan and New Jersey was first considered in the 1860s, fueled by New York City's rapidly growing congestion and the inadequacy of existing ferry service to population centers across the river. DeWitt Clinton Haskin, an engineer formerly with the Union Pacific Railroad, started the project in 1874 and subsequently endured an extended lawsuit, several failures of the tunnel wall, and an exhaustion of funds before quitting in 1887 with only 1,600 feet completed.
Two years later, a British team took up the project only to be halted in 1891 by a financial crisis, just 1,600 feet short of completion. William G. McAdoo, a Southern attorney who later served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Woodrow Wilson, finally completed the tunneling project. McAdoo later added another tunnel, extended the rail line into upper Manhattan, and helped connect its 33rd Street station, later known as Pennsylvania Station, with commercial real-estate development.
Facts
-The Hudson and Manhattan tunnel was the first large transportation tunnel constructed under a major river in the United States. A bridge connecting Manhattan and New Jersey was considered a more tenuous possibility because the Hudson River's bottom was known to consist solely of deep mud in some places.
DeWitt Haskin's work plan involved sealing the tunnel and filling it with 35 pounds of air pressure to expel water and hold the tunnel's iron-plate liners in place. Workers entered through a concrete wall equipped with an air lock. Unfortunately, the compressed air could not keep the tunnel walls sealed, and blow-outs occurred in 1880 and 1882, flooding the work site.
- A British engineer, Sir Thomas Cochrane, used compressed air in devising the first pneumatic caisson -- or air-tight chamber -- in 1830. In the early 1870s, James Buchanan Eads used pneumatic caissons in constructing the foundations for his celebrated Eads Bridge crossing the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri.
- The British team adapted technology used in the 1860s construction of London's subway by combining a shield to support the tunnel walls with Haskin's application of pneumatic pressure to the work face. The Greathead shield, named after its designer, has served as a prototype for all subsequent tunneling equipment.
- William McAdoo recommenced work in 1902, hiring Charles Jacobs as his chief engineer. Jacobs had built the first underwater tunnel in the city, an eight-foot-diameter bore for gas mains under the East River. Before completing the tunnel, the pair encountered solid rock that took 11 months of careful blasting to excavate.
- The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company formed the basis for the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) system in northeastern New Jersey and Manhattan that today extends 14 miles, includes 13 stations, and serves more than 200,000 passengers a day.
