I rarely see shots of the new Engineering Building at BYU in snowy conditions. I captured this picture for future reference.

“The curves and contours of vintage cars are a symphony of art and engineering.”

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 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.

Joseph Adamson and Co at Hyde were boilermakers. The company started in partnership by Joseph Adamson and Henry Booth in 1874. The works which continued making boilers to the 1960s and beyond are now a small industrial estate.

One remarkable feat of engineering seen from another. This is the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge over the Colorado River, USA, which opened in 2010. It's jointly named after Mike O'Callaghan, Governor of Nevada from 1971–1979, and Pat Tillman, an American football player who left his career with the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the United States Army and was sadly killed in Afghanistan in 2004.
The bridge roadway is 890 ft (270 m) above the river (making it the second highest bridge in the whole of the USA). I've crossed it in a car and on foot (there is a walkway) and the view is amazing.
-----------------
My picture was taken from the top of the nearby Hoover Dam, just 1,500 feet (460 m) away. Both are engineering marvels straddling the Arizona/Nevada border.
Before the bridge was built all road traffic had to negotiate several sharp turns and cross the top of the dam.
The Hoover Dam was built from 1931 to 1936, creating thousands of jobs during the Great Depression and creating Lake Mead. In recent years the water level of the lake has dropped a lot due to additional use of water from the Colorado River upstream and climate change. As of 2020 the water level varies between 40-44% of full. There are serious concerns that in the next few years the level could drop to a point which will cause the water and electricity supplies to a large area - ranging from nearby Las Vegas to distant California - to become unsustainable, having a major impact.
The visitor center for the dam is on the right of the picture, and it's possible to take a fascinating guided tour actually inside the dam.

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 :)

Calm reflections abound at Widewater on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park, MD, USA. This is a wide stretch of the canal just south of Great Falls, MD.
Google summary: The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, also known as the C&O Canal or the "Grand Old Ditch," is a historic waterway that stretches 184.5 miles along the Potomac River. It operates today as the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, preserving the remains of the 19th-century transportation route that connected Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Maryland.
Purpose: Built primarily to transport coal from the Allegheny Mountains to the eastern seaboard.
Construction: Building began in 1828 and was completed in 1850. While originally intended to reach the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, it never extended past Cumberland due to high costs and competition from the B&O Railroad.
Engineering Marvels: The canal features 74 locks, 11 aqueducts, and the 3,118-foot Paw Paw Tunnel, which required six million bricks to complete.
Operation: It was operational from 1831 until 1924, when severe flooding and the rise of railroads led to its closure.
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.
Some photographs take a little more effort than others. This is one of them.
Back in 2012, I photographed one of Osaka’s more unusual sights from a distance: the Hanshin Expressway (Ikeda Route), where an exit ramp passes directly through a building. It’s one of those pieces of urban engineering that feels almost impossible until you see it with your own eyes.
For this trip, I wanted to revisit the location, but with a different perspective. That meant spending quite some time researching possible vantage points and figuring out how I could get closer to the structure while maintaining a composition that showed just how remarkable it really is.
Eventually, I found my way into an office building across the street. The view was exactly what I had been looking for, but the conditions were far from ideal. The windows were covered in dirt and grime, leaving only a small clean section near the very top. Reaching it required some creative maneuvering and an almost impossible shooting position, balancing both camera and tripod in a way that probably looked rather ridiculous to anyone watching.
Despite the challenges, I'm quite pleased with the result. Sometimes photography is less about perfect conditions and more about persistence. Finding a way to make an image despite the obstacles often makes the final photograph all the more rewarding.

I went to the Falkirk Wheel to get this shot a while back, but at the time it was closed fro maintenance. Anyway decided to go again yesterday on way back from Dunkeld.

This is an engineering unit with the capcity of emergency field repairs and extractions, it is seen as a sign of hope, and even if is not armed for heavy combat, the pilots skills make up for it.
It is piloted by the blademasters pilot's teacher, one of the last survivors of an ancient race, masters of ancient technology and martial arts.
This mech is based on evas, and I liked the idea of shoulder mounted toolbox instead of being a weapon holder, the fingers attach the tools for a great mad scientist look, and the back kits deploys for extra parts and processing power.
this is the only mech for this week sadly, I'm working on 2 more rigth now, might me done for next week hopefully.
So what do you think?
To cover for two Tridents that have gone across to the Isle of Wight to assist with the overrunning engineering works on the Island Line, Bristol have sent down two Volvo B7TLs to cover for their absence. Both are on loan until July, with the end of the school term, and wear the red fronted livery and Bristol branding. Fleet numbers 32093 and 32094 now make up the oldest buses at Hoeford, with the latter pictured here at the end of Lower Church Road in Titchfield Common.
I turn my attention now to Lumphini Park, Bangkok's version of Central Park. When I arrived the electrics were being fixed
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
Dennis Loline III - NCME ( Northern Counties Motor Engineering ) H76F .
New during the autumn of 1964 . I first encountered this Bus in the Demonstration Park . 1964 Commercial Motor Show , Earl's Court , London . I understand it was originally destined for China Motor Bus Co . Hong Kong . But became a "demonstrator" when that order fell through .
Coming to this Operator during June-1966 .
Posed for us outside their garage in Tewkesbury Gloucestershire .

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.

Another attempt at creating an HDR image. And again, I'm not really happy with what I've got. I'm going to try a different processing workflow the next time. Photos from the archive.. this sunrise was almost a year ago! whoa, time flies...
