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.
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.
Someone noted that I've posted too many 'real' camera shots in a row, so here's a bit of phone again :)

Drawn with precision, crafted with passion—the Porsche 911 is engineering that seduces
I’m happy to share that I’m releasing building instructions for my Porsche 911 Carrera MOC. After many iterations, the design is finally where I want it to be.
If you’re interested in the building guide, just message me here or in private messages, and I’ll send you the details.
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.
Another view of my Engineering Section playset.
I forgot to mention that is the second version of TOS engineering room, the first one that appears in the first episode had no stairs and no second level.
was on my way to work this morning, i noticed this couple building their house ...
the place seemed to me little risky, if the water goes high...but what do i know?! They know better...
the shot is simple, i didn't like to disturb them and get closer...but i was wondering what are those genes telling these animals what to build how to build where to build??? I was amazed by the ability of the swan picking up reed and trying to cut others ...nature is amazing!

A pair of unidentified Colas Class 70s pass through Radley on 4 March 2023 whilst working 6O26, the 09.24 Hinksey to Eastleigh.
At the far end of the platform on which I was stood are some other photographers, they are a bit of a clue as to why I arose from my bed at 'silly o'clock' to come to this large village a few miles south of Oxford. Vintage Trains were operating a shareholders' special train from Birmingham to Didcot for the Railway Centre's 'Castle' celebrations, 7029 and 5043 were the motive power for the special and I had never previously seen or photographed double-headed Castles on the main line. Unfortunately, just as the special hove into view there was a bit of a rush of selfish photographers who simply got in my way and ruined my shot. So, a long way to go just for a pair of 70s! I am not being bitter and twisted about this situation, honestly!
DOUGLAS HEAD LIGHTHOUSE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1857 ALTHOUGH THE VICINITY WAS IN THE CONTROL OF THE ISLE OF MAN HARBOUR BOARD FROM 1832. THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT BY THE ENGINEERING BROTHERS DAVID AND THOMAS STEVENSON WHO BUILT IT WITH A TOTAL ELEVATION OF 32 METRES. THE WHITE TOWER IS 20 METRES IN HEIGHT AND THE LIGHT ITSELF AT A HEIGHT OF 12 METRES.
THE LIGHTHOUSE STAIRCASE HAS 71 STEPS AND THE LIGHT HAS A NOMINAL RANGE OF 24 MILES. THE LANTERN IS COMPOSED OF 8 BRILLIANT REFLECTORS MADE OF PURE SILVER AND WHICH ARE DATED BACK TO 1831. THE LIGHT FLASHES WHITE EVERY 10 SECONDS.
IN 1855 THE LORD COMMISSIONERS OF THE ADMIRALTY REQUESTED THAT THE LIGHTHOUSE BE INSTALLED OTHER THAN THE HARBOUR LIGHT AT DOUGLAS HARBOUR. A PARLIAMENTARY REPORT AT THE TIME REVEALED THAT THE LIGHT ALREADY EXISTING IN DOUGLAS HAD BEEN OUT OF OPERATION SINCE 1850. THERE WERE ORIGINALLY TWO LIGHTHOUSES, ONE ON THE PIER WHICH HAD TO REMAIN A HARBOUR LIGHT AND THIS ONE. THE DOUGLAS HEAD LIGHTHOUSE IS THE ONLY SEA LIGHT BETWEEN THE CALF OF MAN AND THE POINT OF AYRE - SOME 40 MILES AWAY.
THE 12 METRE HIGH LIGHT HAS TWO DOUBLE BANKED UNITS OF 12 LAMPS MOUNTED FACING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, OPERATED BY AN AGA PRB21 GEARLESS DRIVE UNIT ROTATING AT 3 RPM, GIVING A FLASH EVERY 10 SECONDS.
ONLY 8 OUT OF THE 12 LAMPS (30 VOLTS 200 WATTS) RUN AT 25 VOLTS 150 WATTS TO GIVE INCREASED SERVICE LIFE WHICH ARE USED IN NORMAL OPERATION. THE OTHER 4 LAMPS ARE 6 VOLTS 28.5 WATTS USED ONLY AS EMERGENCY LAMPS. SUCH EMERGENCIES MAY BE DURING LOSS OF MAINS ELECTRIC POWER OR THE UNLIKELIHOOD OF A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE MAIN LAMP BANKS.
THE CORRESPONDING 4 EMERGENCY LAMPS ARE CONNECTED IN SERIES, IF ONE LAMP FAILS ALL FOUR GO OUT, WHICH GIVES EACH UNIT THE SAME INTENSITY, SIMILARLY WITH THE 6 VOLT LAMPS OF POWER. POWER IS PROVIDED BY EMERGENCY BATTERIES. THE EMERGENCY LIGHT IS A 200 MM LANTERN MOUNTED ON THE BALCONY RAIL.
FULLY AUTOMATED SINCE 1986, THE LIGHT IS MONITORED BY THE NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSE COMMISSIONERS AT THEIR NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSE BOARD MONITORING CENTRE. AN ATTENDANT FROM THE NORTHERN BOARD VISITS THE LIGHTHOUSE ON A FORTNIGHTLY BASIS TO TEST SYSTEM PROCEDURES AND THE GENERAL PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE BUILDING.

It was hard to decide which to enter the contest with, but I went with this shot instead.
View of the full-size Rosetta engineering model (EQM) at ESOC, Darmstadt.
Rosetta is en route to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, where it will make the most detailed study of a comet ever attempted. It will follow the comet on its journey through the inner Solar System, measuring the increase in activity as the icy surface is warmed up by the Sun. The lander will focus on the composition and structure of the comet nucleus material. It will also drill more than 20cm into the subsurface to collect samples for inspection by the lander’s onboard laboratory.

But No Replacement Bus Service !!
During the week I was in Scarborough , the Central Cliff Lift ( Tramway ) was closed because of work on the tracks .
Regrettably I had to walk up the adjacent stairs . It took me over 15 minutes , and two squirts of my Angina spray .
Scarborough , North Yorkshire .

this photo was inspired by the importance of education and awareness, regardless of a persons social status etc.
47343 runs round a class 9 engineering train at Aintree Sefton Junction on Sunday 24th April 1983.
Aintree container base is on the left and the there were still a few gantries left, with signals for differing routes long removed since the area's busier days.
It would appear as though the train is heading back to either Fazakerley PW depot or the Ormskirk line, having arrived from either one if those locations.
The Toton based loco was withdrawn in June 1992 after suffering collision damage when it ran away at Hazel Grove.
Taken at about 5.15pm, this is actually a sunset. Once again D80 in my backpack proves worthy. I was going to attend a lecture, when I simulated this composition in my mind and couldn't resist taking this shot.
* Looks superb in black background.
THANK YOU for the appreciation, this picture got into Flickr Interestingness on March 2, 2007 :)
Stabled facing Cleveleys on the little spur off the Little Bispham turning circle is Blackpool Transports Engineering car 753, which was converted from Blackpool Standard car No 143 in 1958, this little spur which was literally only the length of a tram has since been lifted.
