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.

Recovering RNLB MARY MARGARET after a shout. The boat had first called at the marina pontoon before being taken back to the boat house on its launching trailer. August 06, 2002.
The Talus MB-H used to move the boat is a continuous track launch tractor which was specifically designed for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), to launch and recover carriage mounted lifeboats, particularly the Mersey-class lifeboat, from beach-launched lifeboat stations. In total, 31 tractors were manufactured by Clayton Engineering Limited of Knighton, Powys.

Kilmore Quay Lifeboat Station is the base for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat at Kilmore Quay in County Wexford, Ireland.
The first lifeboat was stationed at the Kilmore coastguard station in 1847 but this was withdrawn in 1857.
The station reopened in 1884 and moved into its present building in 2004.
The first lifeboat was stationed at Kilmore on 28 July 1847. It was crewed by the local coastguard and kept in their boathouse.
The boat soon fell into disrepair so an attempt was made to establish a local committee to manage it, although it proved difficult to find people who would join. The RNLI did, however, order a new lifeboat and the old one was repaired to keep it in service until the new boat was available.
The RNLI's annual report in 1858 stated that a new lifeboat had been provided during 1857, however it was subsequently reported that the new boat for Kilmore was one of six destroyed in a fire at the builder's boatyard on 19 June 1858. The following year it was reported that a replacement was 'ready to be sent' but it was not included in the RNLI's list of lifeboats in 1860.
There is no record of a lifeboat at Kilmore again until 1884 when the RNLI decided that it would be desirable to establish a lifeboat station because of the dangers around the Saltee Islands off Kilmore. A boathouse was built for £320 and this served until 1992 when it was demolished and a larger building constructed on the same site. The station had been renamed 'Kilmore Quay' in 1986. In 2004 a new berth was provided at the marina so that the lifeboat could be kept afloat.
The RNLI aims to reach any vessel in distress up to 50 nmi (93 km) from the coast within 2 hours of launching. The Tamar-class lifeboat at Kilmore Quay has a range of 250 nmi (460 km) and top speed of 50 kn (93 km/h).
Adjacent stations with all-weather lifeboats are Dunmore East to the west, Rosslare Harbour to the north, and St Davids to the east. There is also an inshore lifeboat at Fethard between Kilmore Quay and Dunmore East.
The first lifeboat to be stationed at Kilmore was a small, buoyant boat. When the station was reopened in 1884 it was provided with a larger boat of the then-standard self-righting design. These were 'pulling and sailing' lifeboats that were usually rowed with oars but could use sails when conditions allowed. The station's first motor lifeboat arrived in 1937. This was a single-engined design but later boats were equipped with two.
Modern, fast lifeboats have been stationed here since 1992. The first was kept in the boathouse and launched on a carriage, but since 2004 the lifeboat has been kept afloat in the marina.
The current lifeboat is Tamar-class Killarney which has been on station since 2010. (Notes: Wikipedia)
Engineering work was taking place between Harrogate and Leeds on 21st June 2020. Here, Colas class 70/8 no. 70810 heads a ballast train, the 14.08 from Doncaster Belmont to Harrogate, entering the single line section at Poppleton.

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 :)

Here are two shots of the UP 8014 leading the PPTMV2 5 through Topeka this morning. It was an awfully convenient day for one of my classes to be off on a field trip, as I saw this thing hopping onto the Kansas Sub just as I was crossing the river myself.
The iron work on these locomotives is a site to be seen. This is one of the controls on a 5461 locomotive.
W. 56th St., NY, NY. Hoping someone can explain how those two outriggers work. Seems like there should be four of them to keep it from toppling.....can some of you engineers out there explain?
The mighty Forth Rail Bridge, shot at dawn break from South Queensferry.
Last image of 'the bridge' I think, though I would like to go back, be an interesting view from the top! Thanks for all your comments and feedback on these shots, lovely guys all of you :)

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.

73138 and 73105 head north with a weekend engineering train near Etchingham on 27/03/99. I was now living in North East England when this shot was taken but still found myself drawn back onto the Southern for weekend engineering trips.

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

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.
