Taken at the 2011 Open House weekend in London. The Broadgate Tower is one of the new additions to the skyscrapers found in City of London, completed in 2009. You can also get the amazing skyline of London, including the view of the widely recognised 'The Gerkin' building.
Feel free to look at my other London photographs in London's Calling, or my other travel photographs my Photostream and I always appreciate your comments. Thanks.

View of progress with the Tyne Bridge, 2 February 1928, showing the two halves getting closer together (TWAM ref. 3730/15/5).
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.

A striking perspective from beneath the Samuel De Champlain Bridge, highlighting the monumental scale of its concrete piers and intricate white steel superstructure. The symmetrical composition draws the eye through the rhythmic sequence of supports spanning the Saint Lawrence River, with the older bridge structure visible in the distance.
It was quite a contrast with the chaotic traffic zooming above and the quite waters along the bike path below.

Visit of the Marquis of Londonderry to Roker Pier, 28 October 1891 (TWAM ref. 3768/8). On this occasion the Marquis placed a stone inscribed ‘Londonderry 28.10.91 in a concrete block to be laid in the pier head at a future date.
This set of images relates to Roker Pier, Sunderland and is taken from a scrapbook kept by Henry Hay Wake, chief engineer to the River Wear Commission.
Henry Wake designed Roker Pier and also oversaw its construction from beginning to end. The Pier' s foundation stone was laid in September 1885 and it was formally opened on 23 September 1903. The Pier is 2,800 feet long and was built of Aberdeen granite and concrete cement at a total cost of £290,000.

The Millau viaduct cuts through an azure sky like a golden line connecting earth to clouds. I wanted to capture its apparent lightness despite its monumental structure.
A postcard of the bridges across the River Tyne, showing the Tyne Bridge under construction, 1928 (TWAM ref. DX681/15).
The postcard is unused.
This set celebrates the many postcards in our collections. The people, places and events they show can give us an insight into the past, documenting the landscape, the fashions, the way we lived. Some postcards are unused but others tell us something about the people who bought them, through the messages they wrote. They can give us a fascinating glimpse into people’s lives.

A crawler crane on Memorial Drive used for setting up a cofferdam for the outflow of an upgraded storm drain system. The Boston area (including Cambridge, where this photo was taken) currently uses a combined sewer system, which can lead to raw sewage overflows during heavy rainfall. This upgrade is part of a series of improvements intended to separate the sewer system in the area.
Normally a shot like this would go on my dedicated heavy equipment posting accounts on Instagram or Tumblr (both of which have the username constructiontruckphotos); however, I really love the motion and colors in this particular photo so I figured that I would share it here, while a slightly more closeup shot will go on those accounts.
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.

From the Atlantic Bridge, the Panama Canal stretches into the distance beneath a rainy sky. Even in the rain, ships continue their journey through one of the world's most remarkable engineering achievements, linking two oceans and connecting continents.
Desde el Puente Atlántico, el Canal de Panamá se extiende hacia el horizonte bajo un cielo lluvioso. Incluso con la lluvia, los barcos continúan su recorrido por una de las obras de ingenierÃa más extraordinarias del mundo, uniendo dos océanos y conectando continentes.
