At 135m, The London Eye is the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel. It was conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects and was launched in 2000. It has already won over 85 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement.

The chain bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary, designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and built by Scottish engineer Adam Clark. It was opened in 1849. It is anchored on the Pest side of the river to Széchenyi Square (formerly Roosevelt Square), adjacent to the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square, near the Zero Kilometre Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle.
The bridge bears the name of István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction, but is most commonly known as the "Chain Bridge". At the time of its construction, it was regarded as a marvel of modern engineering.

The train would spend the night in Salt Lake City, departing early the following morning for a journey east across the Rio Grande main line through Utah and Colorado to Denver.

This is in the back garden of the house we have lived in for about 40 years, and this is first time I have noticed the manufacturer's name on the manhole cover (unless I've seen it before and forgotten).
One of the most vivid memories I have from my primary school years was visiting the Dover Engineering Works with my school. It's not surprising that seeing molten iron poured from a ladle into a mould from close quarters would make a lasting impression on a child. I can still see clearly in my mind the wooden pattern they had made of our school's badge being pressed into the compacted black sandy material in the mould. The pattern was then removed and the top half of the mould filled with more compacted material was fitted. Small holes to allow the escape of burning gas were made in the material. When the molten iron was poured into the mould, sure enough, jets of flame appeared from these holes. When the mould was eventually stripped, there was the grey/silver replica of the wooden pattern.
When the company was established in 1830 it was on the outskirts of Dover in the parish of Charlton, with a supply of water from the adjacent River Dour. Charlton has since been absorbed by Dover, and the engineering works is of course gone - with the site now occupied by a supermarket.
Even as the bridge approaches 90 years in service, even as thousands of photos from every angle exist, even as tourists and locals to my left and right are snapping with phones, even as this picture or something like it exists in the millions, even though its all been captured, my goal was to make more photos of this iconic feat of engineering.
As this bridge approaches 90 years in service, I think of how pioneering this was then and how graceful it still stands.
On a recent visit to San Jose we decided to head up to San Francisco to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was perfect if not a bit windy.

genetic engineering
could create the perfect race
could create an unknown life-force
that could us exterminate
introducing worker clone
as our subordinated slave
his expertise proficiency
will surely dig our grave
it's so tempting
will biologists resist
when he becomes the creator
will he let us exist
bionic man is jumping
through the television set
he's about to materialise
and guess who's coming next

Still in business today, Balfour Beatty has been a major player in the UK construction and civil engineering markets. Founded in 1909, its initial operations focused on tramways, with a notable presence in the East Midlands. That activity led Balfour Beatty to diversify into power generation and general contracting, playing a key role in the development of Britain’s National Grid. During the same 1930s period, Balfour Beatty replaced the trams with buses at its subsidiary companies.
Just three bus companies remained on Balfour Beatty’s books when it decided to exit the market at the end of the 1940s. Thus, Midland General, Notts & Derby and Mansfield District were sold to the state-controlled British Transport Commission. Previously major buyers of AEC and Leyland buses, the ex-Balfour Beatty bus fleets then took a steady influx of standard Bristol/Eastern Coachworks vehicles. However, the old liveries were retained, together with other details (eg destination layouts) that differentiated the fleets from the general BTC run of the mill.
This view at Newark Bus Station proved to be the sole occasion I photographed buses of the former Balfour Beatty bus fleets: all three companies lost their identities soon afterwards under National Bus Company management. On the left is Mansfield & District 545 (24MNN), a Bristol FLF6G Lodekka new in 1963. Its companion is 104 ( JNU993D), a 1966 dual-purpose Bristol MW6G that was registered by Midland General Omnibus but seen here in service with Mansfield District.

UP 2666 and another Tier 4 ET44AH lead northbound UP Engineering Special PJCPR2 through Villa Grove after a heck of a rainstorm. Luckily, its late departure out of Jefferson City, MO allowed me to get a shot of it after work.
Standing outside this century old barn, I looked up to see an aircraft flying overhead and thought of how far we'd come. The barn featured a unique swing beam construction that allowed a team of horses, hitched to a wagon, to turn around without having to back up. Horses apparently don't like to walk backwards so this made life easier for farmer and animal alike. When you compare that marvel of practical engineering to the complexity of the plane, it seems there are no limits to what we can accomplish.

Seddon Atkinson recovery vehicle
Chambers Engineering, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire
Buckingham, 12 January 2023
Great to see Chambers Engineering's unique self-built Seddon Atkinson again about 18 months since my last sighting, and quite surreal that something like this is still on the road in 2023. It was built in the late 1970s as an apprentice project using the front of a damaged Seddon Atkinson 400 mated to the rear bogie of an even older Seddon and bespoke recovery gear, and later fitted with the last new 3-11 cab made by Motor Panels.
While Freightliner Class 90s on intermodal trains at Deansgate is common, they're usually en route to and from Trafford Park. With engineering underway in the Warrington area, locos 90045 and 90042 make an exception as they head towards Ordsall Lane Junction and the Chat Moss line, hauling the diverted 4S49 intermodal from Daventry heading towards Grangemouth.
I rarely see shots of the new Engineering Building at BYU in snowy conditions. I captured this picture for future reference.

The warm glow from a setting sun is reflected off the concrete spillway cells of the Murray Lock & Dam. The dam sits under the Big Dam Bridge on the Arkansas River in Little Rock. The dam & lock is part of a series of similar structures to facilitate commercial vessel navigation on the Arkansas River all the way up to Tulsa, OK.
