My second entry in this months competition on Bridges.
Had a few days away in Bristol so couldn't really visit without seeing and taking an image of the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge.
It spans the river Avon and has a remarkable history which is well worth reading about.
The original design was of Isambard Kingdom Brunel .
Spanning over 702 ft and 249ft above the Avon it had the longest span of any bridge in the world at the time of its construction.
Thank you for viewing and any comments

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.
Completed in 1965, Carson Engineering Center was opened for use during the 75th anniversary celebration of the University of Oklahoma. Designed to house the growing College of Engineering, the facility effectively doubled the space available for engineering programs. The building was originally called the Engineering Center, but was renamed for William H. Carson, the second dean of the College, upon his death in the early 1970’s.

LNER trains were diverted via Carlisle due to engineering work north of Newcastle on 20 September 2025. At least one of the couple on Carlisle’s platform 3 pays more than a passing interest in the Dellner coupling of 801103 and 800207, the pairing that formed 1E21, LNER’s 1322 Edinburgh - Kings Cross.
I have worked in and around engineering for more years than I care to remember. It still continues to amaze me what can be made from a lump of raw metal.

Engineering Approach - If it works, don't fix it!
I wish I had some power tools for the job. The Cube has been very un-cooperative.
Now I've never ever made a color shot of the strobist setup, but this one is an exception. You really must see it (click on the link at the end of the description). And please leave a comment which one you prefer - this one or setup shot :)
Strobist info:
* Canon 20D | 17-40mm @ 17 | f/8 | 1/250s | RAW | SOOC
* Sunpak 5000AF left into silver umbrella with 3/4 blue gel
* Sunpak 5000AF behind subject with tough green gel
* Subpak 4000AF right with 3/4 CTO gel

My solution for the second challenge.
Unfortunately I don't have accesss to my bricks right now, so it'll be digital fiddling only :(

The iron work on these locomotives is a site to be seen. This is one of the controls on a 5461 locomotive.
I turn my attention now to Lumphini Park, Bangkok's version of Central Park. When I arrived the electrics were being fixed
Following five hard fought years of construction, a moment of calmness, a moment of pride and a moment to reflect as I cast my gaze on the North Tower of the awe-inspiring Queensferry Crossing. The bridge is truly a stunning new addition to the iconic bridge-scape of the Firth of Forth just north of Edinburgh.
This image was taken the day before the bridges' opening to traffic on 30/08 this year.
Shot details: F13 @ 16mm for 1/50th sec...probably a polariser as well.
Every time I visit Jackson, Tennessee (and specifically South Jackson & Bemis where I grew up), I am very disappointed in the state of the site of the former Bemis Cotton Mill. Demolition was authorized by the Jackson Mayor and City Council and a few non-local companies have come through and pillaged anything of much value. The rest that remains (as seen here) just sits week after week and month after month as nothing happens. The two 'towers' seen here housed a lot of the mechanical & ventilation systems that were added later in the life of the mill so are not as "historical" as the parts that were scavenged. However, you can see that they were left in a partially deconstructed state and are somewhat dangerous as they sit but no one with any authority seems to care. This is a painful site for the longtime residents of Bemis and the surrounding area as they watch their community sit, partially in ruin, as nothing else happens to this once great piece of Jackson and Tennessee history.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

The Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto is a true realization of Engineering as Art.
The modern gallery received a $276-million renovation transformation by the Toronto-born architect of the world: Frank Gehry.
Inside the gallery, a generous $100 million dollar gift from the late Ken Thomson's unparalleled collection of Canadian and European art with Picasso and more.

To boldly go where no "fan" has gone before... you need a good warp and of course a clean and well maintained engineering room. So here's Scotty's kingdom where everything is possible even fixing the core with an old spoon ;D
Decals by Fine Clonier, thanks a lot Jared.
More pics to come later.
I've taken a few pics of my bike since I've had it. Unfortunately I felt like none them captured it in a way where its beauty can truely be appriciated. Nothing like a little mechine glamour every now and then.

Spider engineering has always been fascinating, but never more so for me than since I saw the photos I took below. These showed me what was too fast to see in the field.
This was a corner of a large web, and look at that bracing and strengthening. And see the brace across a corner.
Not to mention the beauty and balance of a web.
The refractions of my house are a distraction, although they where what I originally aimed my lens at, and do act as symbolic eyes.

Slightly blurred.
A post war built DC-4, delivered new to National Airlines in Apr-46 as N33682. It was sold to Resort Airlines in 1952 and was leased to Trans Continental Airlines before being sold to Great Lakes Airlines in 1955.
It became G-APEZ when Starways bought it in Sep-57 and served with them until Starways was bought by British Eagle in Dec-63 when it was transferred to Starways engineering company, Aviation Overhauls.
It was stored at Liverpool until it was leased to ACE Freighters in Aug-64. ACE Freighters bought it later that year and operated it until it was retired at Coventry, UK, in Jul-66 (ACE Freighters ceased trading 2 months later). It was broken up at Coventry in early 1968.
I captured a series of the shack, nearby statuary and here is the shed and house more oddities. I am looking at Longmont housing but did find the only affordable housing in Logmont and yet this is in pain sight. I don't know if this is listed by the Longmont Housing Authority. This is one of the captures I snapped of a used up place in the city limits. I'll have to patch the roof when I move here. I really admire the roofing. Several original shingles remain on the shack but especially like the green sheet petroleum roofing on the shed, hereafter referred to as assfault. Which would fire up quicker, the petroleum or the wood pulp? I'd have thought that any eave overhang might have been helpful. Stacks upon shacks with holes everywhere.
I remember that I took a course in school on timber engineering. The remember that the assigned book was the TECO (Timber Engineering Company) manual. I don't remember any examples of this sort of timber engineering illustrated or discussed in the manual. I do like the texture and patina of aged timber. They did discuss engineering including 2-beam fudging, loading and failure of timber engineered glue-laminated beams also known as glulams. Just for interest, I looked them up in Wiki and found: A 2002 case study comparing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and costs for roof beams found it takes two to three times more energy and six to twelve times more fossil fuels to manufacture steel beams than it does to manufacture glulam beams. Vewy interesting!
This is in southwest Longmont but still in town. Fencing was built to keep the cattle from settling into the house and shed. The trees show the green up is just starting. The garbage Siberian elms are starting to bloom and spread seeds everywhere people don't realize that they need killing as soon as they show. On the other hand, the exceptionally weak trees can be admired as they grow and drop limbs, taking out the odd roof. Longmont has a Siberian elm statute but it's far from adequate. Although I was still in town, I still scenes to shoot.
It disappoints me that the owner let his property become so very shabby. Surely some upkeep is called for on the place! I'm sure that the roof can still be patched; I don't see anything growing through it yet. Ahhh, a bit of work and it would be a cozy spot with great access to local shopping.
A lot of calculations, material, work and effort is involved in creating something like this. 10.000 times, 100.000 wagons can cross this for 100 years. People are awesome.
Three years into the four year engineering works and track replacement seems to have reached Montreuil, piles of new sleepers in the yard and an engineering train; V212K and V212L are ex-Deustche Bahn locos now in yellow and operated by Meccoli, they date from the early 1960s. The view from the walk around the ramparts of the old town.
