The sun sets on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, New York. The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m) and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. It was originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an icon of New York City and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.

Trying to stay out of the Cycle lane took a bit of effort. With the passage barely wide enough to handle the pedestrians, the cyclists had to frequently stop and dodge people not paying attention.
A civil engineering marvel, modern architectural design at the forefront. To be able to make this work of art a serviceable building is simply incredible, to be weather proof, safe and serve a purpose as well as looking this good is genius as well as designing it so it can be cleaned.

The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, often abbreviated as the D&SNG, is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railroad that operates on 45.2 mi (72.7 km) of track between Durango and Silverton in the U.S. state of Colorado. The railway is a federally designated National Historic Landmark and was also designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1968..
The route was originally opened in 1882 by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) to transport silver and gold ore mined from the San Juan Mountains. The line was an extension of the D&RG 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge line from Antonito, Colorado to Durango. The last train to operate into Durango from the east was on December 6, 1968. The states of New Mexico and Colorado purchased 64 miles between Antonito and Chama, New Mexico, in 1970 and operates today as the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TSRR). Trackage between Chama and Durango was removed by 1971.
The line from Durango to Silverton 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 U.S. which has seen continuous use of steam locomotives. In March 1981, the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) sold the line and the D&SNG was formed. Today, the D&SNG, along with the C&TSRR, are the only two remaining parts of the former D&RGW narrow-gauge network. The railroad has a total of nine narrow-gauge steam locomotives (eight of which are operational) and soon-to-be eleven narrow-gauge diesel locomotives, six of which were acquired within the last three years, in their current roster. The railroad also operates former D&RGW No. 315 for special events.
Some rolling stock dates back to the 1880s. Trains operate from Durango to the Cascade Wye in the winter months and Durango–Silverton during the summer months. Durango depot was built in January 1882 and has been preserved in its original form.

Hsuehshan Tunnel, Taiwan was opened to the public since 2006. Considered a marvel of civil engineering and human perseverance, this tunnel project was completed after 15 years.It is the longest road tunnel in East Asia and also the fifth-longest tunnel in the world.
This is a very interesting bit of civil engineering that I came across a few days ago, nestled out of the way, on a walk after the rain. These tanks store rainwater that has been collected by the parking garage behind them, and then the water is used to irrigate the green spaces in the surrounding block, such as the grasses in front. The rain, with the water running down the sides of the parking garage and puddles on the cement path, fit the mood so well :)

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.

This is the east side of the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California -- about a 7-minute walk from our new digs. The bridge is on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

This was just at sunset, but true west is to the right as this photo is oriented. This one will get more attention with my Canon and a tripod!

I haven't been in Hopeman since this occassion. From 2007 onwards they were doing harbour works and coastal protection projects for the Highland and Moray Councils. I guess that's what is going on here.
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.
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.
