Jack-up barge Haven Seajack 1 assembled and waiting for a weather window to go to Fair Isle according to Marine Traffic, I am guessing this will be part of the civil engineering works to determine the best location to build the Fair Isle's first Ro/Ro ferry terminal. This has been directly funded by the UK government by way of their "Levelling Up Fund" The project has been awarded approx. £27,000,000. Some people have commented about the politics of the UK government funding projects in Scotland rather than giving the money to the Scottish government. *This post is not political* It is merely to show the barge and what the reason for it is in Orkney. Fair Isle is the winner, no matter who pays for the work. *Please do not post any political comments - just be happy that the people of Fair Isle are finally going to get served by a Ro/Ro ferry instead of Lo/Lo [lift on/off] for more info see
Ogden Point Breakwater
Sunset at the Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria, BC.
Completed in 1916, the breakwater is a 762-metre (2,500-foot) long granite and concrete wall. Over one million cubic yards of locally-quarried rock was dropped into deep water (up to 27 m [90 ft.]) to support the breakwater’s main structure of more than 10,000 granite blocks. Each block, quarried on nearby Hardy Island, weighing up to 15 tons was stacked in a nine course pyramid. Attesting to the sound engineering and meticulous construction, the breakwater has not required any major upgrades since it was built, and only 136 blocks have ever required repositioning over the intervening years.
In 2001 the breakwater and its protected docks were named a National Historic Civil Engineering Site.
In 2009, to honour the traditions and history of the Salish Nations, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) sponsored phase I and II of the Unity Wall Mural, a project that transforms the breakwater into an enormous canvas upon which established First Nations artists, and the young artists they mentor, share their stories with the world. In 2013, the GVHA also sponsored the creation of the mural’s third phase and the painting of related designs along the outer breakwater.

This monument located on Mount Buzludzha is the biggest ideological building in Bulgaria. It was built as a tribute to the creation of the Bulgarian socialist movement in 1891.
The construction of Buzludzha was made possible thanks to government funds and supporters’ donations for an amount of around 14 186 000 leva (around 7 000 000 €). The site was built by civil engineering troops from the Bulgarian army and volunteers. The master builder was General Delcho Delchev who was in charge of the Stara Zagora civil engineering section. The author of this project was the architect Guéorguy Stoilov. Several famous painters and sculptors have participated to the decoration.
Ever since the superseding of Bulgarian president Todor Givkovand and the political changes that occurred in Bulgaria from 1989, the state of the monument has continued to decay. portraits of Ludmila and Todor Givkov have been destroyed. The copper adornments have been stolen. The building is slowly disintegrating; the monument is abandoned and no public institution seems to be concerned by the conservation of renovation of the building. The Bulgarian socialist party itself is not taking any action towards the maintenance of its most important symbol. The big star has been perforated by gunshots because it was thought to be made out of ruby!
On Bulgarian derps tour with Dursty, John, Andrew and Mike. Visited very little due to the harsh roads and long drives in two car convoy, busted by a pistol and axe wielding guard, picking up a hitchhiker, removing a hire car wing mirror with a bin, countless selfies, a stray dog and not forgetting an insect bite from hell that gave me a club hand.
But the main event was accessed twice and was the main objective for this trip so all was good.

Two men worked together pumping handcars on White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This railroad served the needs of Yukon's population as well as its mining industry since 1898. Today it is designated an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

The Norwegian Joy enters the second set of locks at the Panama Canal's Agua Clara locks. You can see Gatun Lake beyond the third set of locks ahead of the ship. The blue and white "NYK Line" ship at top center passed through the Gatun Locks that run parallel to the Agua Clara locks.
From my weekend aboard the Fall Photo Special on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) is a narrow gauge heritage railroad in the U.S. State of Colorado that operates over the 45 miles (72 km) of 36-inch (914 mm) track between Durango in La Plata County and Silverton in San Juan County. The railway is a federally designated National Historic Landmark and is also designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
The trackage was originally built between 1881 and 1882, by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, in order to carry silver and gold ore mined in the San Juan Mountains. The line was an extension of the D&RG narrow gauge from Antonito, Colorado to Durango. The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad operates the line from Antonito to Chama, New Mexico. The line from Chama to Durango has been abandoned and removed. The line from Durango to Silverton, however, has run continuously since 1881, although it is now a tourist and heritage line hauling passengers, and is one of the few places in the United States which has seen continuous use of steam locomotives. In March 1981, the Denver & Rio Grande Western sold the line and the D&SNG was formed.
Some of the rolling stock dates back to the 1880s. The trains run from Durango to the Cascade Wye in the winter months and run from Durango to Silverton during the summer months. (Wikipedia)
Here are Joshua and his cousins working on some type of earth structure at the Lindon Marina. This is one of the launching points for Utah Lake and has a bit of sand around the edges.

Flood water run off area at the bottom of a new local housing development turning into a nice nature area.
The exercise is meant to commemorate the labor-intensive reversal of the Chicago River in 1900, which tidily began sending all of the city’s waste downriver rather than into the lake. (Chicago’s neighbors downstate, as you can imagine, do not go out of their way to celebrate this feat of civil engineering.)
The "Zeche Nachtigall" is a former coal mine in Witten-Bommern.
The mine was also known under the name coalmine Nachtigal in the Hetberge, colliery nightingale in the Hedtberge, trade union in the Hedtberge and coal bank in the Hettberger wood.
The mine is in Witten-Bommern at the entrance of the Muttental and is a part of the mining footpath Muttental.
The was one of the biggest civil engineering colliery of the region. On the mine were diminished in the civil engineering fat coal rich in piece which had a good quality. Today is the colliery a museum.
Small colliery were stone coal pits whose staff, equipment and production far lie under their one big mines. Most of all it concerned pure tunnel companies (without segregation shafts).
