My intent was to try to catch a glimpse of a mid-March comet after sunset, but low lying clouds to the west put an end to that quest. Instead, just another take at one of my local hangouts.

Construction of Tower Bridge started in 1886 and took eight years, employing 432 construction workers. Two massive piers, containing over 70,000 tons of concrete were sunk into the riverbed to support the construction. Over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the towers and walkways. This was then clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone, both to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the bridge a pleasing appearance. The original designer, Horace Jones, died in 1887 and George D Stevenson took over the project, replacing Jones' original brick facade with the more ornate Victorian Gothic style, which makes the bridge a distinctive landmark, and was intended to harmonise the bridge with the nearby Tower of London. The total cost of construction was £1,184,000 (£100 million in 2010 money).
Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust's bridges not to connect the City of London to the Southwark bank, the northern landfall being in Tower Hamlets. The bridge is 244m in length with two towers each 65m high, built on piers. The central span of 61m between the towers is split into two equal bascules or leaves, which can be raised to an angle of 83° to allow river traffic to pass. The bascules weigh over 1,000 tons each and are counterbalanced to minimise the force required, allowing raising in five minutes. The original raising mechanism was powered by pressurised water stored in several hydraulic accumulators.
In 1974, the original operating mechanism was largely replaced by a new electro-hydraulic drive system, designed by BHA Cromwell House. The only components of the original system still in use are the final pinions, which engage with the racks fitted to the bascules. These are driven by modern hydraulic motors and gearing, using oil rather than water as the hydraulic fluid. Some of the original hydraulic machinery has been retained, and is open to the public, forming the basis for the bridge's museum, which resides in the old engine rooms on the south side of the bridge.
Visible beyond the middle of the bridge is the Willis Building, a commercial skyscraper in London named after the primary tenant, Willis Group. It is located at 51 Lime Street in the City of London financial district.
The building was designed by Norman Foster and developed by British Land. It stands opposite the Lloyd's building and is 125m tall, with 26 storeys. It features a "stepped" design, which was intended to resemble the shell of a crustacean, with setbacks rising at 97m and 68m. In total, there are 44,130 square metres of office floorspace, most of which was pre-let to the insurance broker Willis.
The Willis Building was constructed between 2004 and 2008 under the management of Mace and represented a significant addition to the City of London skyline, becoming its fourth-tallest building after Tower 42, 30 St Mary Axe and CityPoint. The core was topped out in July 2006 and the steelwork completed in September that year. Cladding began in July 2006 and the structure was externally completed by June 2007. It was internally fitted out and officially opened in April 2008. The building was the first in a wave of new tall towers for London's primary financial district.

Went to San Francisco to see the Blood Moon with some interesting foreground, However the marine layer didn't cooperate. I did finally, get to see the Bay Bridge Light Show and play around with some night photography.

Coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring
Tractor manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini, complained to Enzo Ferrari about several mechanical issues concerning the Ferrari he had just purchased. He decided to start up his own car factory. This 350 GT is the first production model.
The story goes that Ferruccio Lamborghini, a tractor manufacturer, complained to Enzo Ferrari about several mechanical issues concerning the Ferrari he had just purchased, whereupon Enzo told him to stick to building tractors. The enraged and stubborn Lamborghini decided to start up his own car factory to compete with Ferrari.
The first prototype, the 350 GTV, was launched in 1963 in Turin. The production version, the 350 GT, was introduced in Geneva a year later.
The sleek, elegant and sporty body with the large rear window was designed by Franco Scaglione. The coachwork was built by Touring of Milan, using the ‘Superleggera’ (‘superlight’) system: aluminium panels were mounted directly onto a tubular steel framework. The 3.5-litre, twelve-cylinder engine with four overhead camshafts was developed by Ferrari engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, giving the car a top speed of 240 km/h.
Only 120 examples of the Lamborghini 350 GT were produced.

Wien - U-Bahn-Station Karlsplatz
Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station is a former station of the Viennese Stadtbahn. The buildings above ground on Karlsplatz are a well-known example of Jugendstil architecture. These buildings were included in The Vienna Secession, as they followed many of the artistic styles of that movement. They were designed by Otto Wagner, adviser to the Transport Commission in Vienna, and Joseph Maria Olbrich and are, unlike the other Stadtbahn stations, made of a steel framework with marble slabs mounted on the exterior. These stations allowed Otto Wagner to achieve his goal of creating two modern axes of architecture in a city that was becoming one of the most modern cities of its time. These buildings went on to become the most modern monument of the modern city. Architectural critic and poet Friedrich Achleitner commented on the Stadtbahn stations as follows "...In these two station buildings Wagner reached a highpoint of his dialectic (in his planning of the Stadtbahn) between function and poetry, construction and decoration, whereby a severe rationalism engages in competition with an almost Secessionist kind of decoration."
The station was opened as Akademiestraße in 1899. When the Stadtbahn line was converted to U-Bahn in 1981, the original station was scheduled to be demolished. However, as a result of public outcry, it was decided to keep the station buildings. Both buildings were disassembled, renovated, and then reassembled two metres higher than their original location after completion of U-Bahn construction. One of the buildings is now used as an exhibition space by the Vienna Museum, with an U-Bahn entrance in its rear; the other is used as a café.

Die Station Karlsplatz wurde 1899 als Station „Academiestraße“ der Wiener Dampfstadtbahn eröffnet und erhielt noch im gleichen Jahr ihre heutige Bezeichnung, als der zugehörige Platz nach Karl VI. benannt wurde. Ab 1925 verkehrte ersatzweise die Wiener Elektrische Stadtbahn. Mit der am 25. Februar 1978 erfolgten Inbetriebnahme des ersten, vom Reumannplatz her kommenden U-Bahn-Teilstücks der U1 wurde der Karlsplatz gleichzeitig auch U-Bahn-Station und ist heute der größte Verkehrsknoten der Wiener Linien.
Durch ihre Lage im Zentrum der Stadt ist die Station von zahlreichen wichtigen Punkten umgeben: Am Ausgang der im Zuge der Bauarbeiten für die U-Bahn nach Süden zum Resselpark verlängerten Opernpassage befindet sich das Hauptgebäude der Technischen Universität, der Resselpark und die Karlskirche und am nördlichen Ausgang das Operngebäude, der Eingang zur Fußgängerzone Kärntner Straße und zahlreiche hochpreisige Hotels. Durch die unterdessen weit verzweigten Passagen sind außerdem die Oper, die Secession und der Naschmarkt, das Künstlerhaus und der Musikverein gut erreichbar.
Die Station Karlsplatz stellte architektonisch einen Sonderfall im Stadtbahnnetz dar: Die oberirdischen Bauten der ursprünglich oben offenen Station bestehen aus zwei mit Ornamenten reich verzierten, einander gegenüberliegenden Pavillons. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Stationen wurden sie vom Architekten Otto Wagner als Stahlskelettbau mit vorgehängten Marmorplatten ausgeführt und im damals sehr modernen Jugendstil dekoriert, die Blumenornamente gestaltete Joseph Maria Olbrich. Von jedem Pavillon führte ursprünglich nur ein Stiegenabgang zu je einem der beiden versetzt angelegten Seitenbahnsteige.

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The Statue of Liberty is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed in Roman numerals with "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" (July 4, 1776), the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet as she walks forward. The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, a national park tourism destination, and is a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.
Bartholdi was inspired by a French law professor and politician, Édouard René de Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to U.S. independence would properly be a joint project of the French and U.S. peoples. Because of the post-war instability in France, work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s. In 1875, Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the U.S. provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue was built in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland.
The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service. Public access to the balcony around the torch has been barred for safety since 1916.
Consolidation or shortened "Consol" was a coal mine in Gelsenkirchen. Today the plants are listed buildings or be used commercially or culturally. The shaft 9 went up in 1922 and was equipped with an oversized double struts framework. Consol was closed in 1993.

The purpose of bonfire nights and the similarities between firework designs deliver an overwhelming message to display fireworks at different locations across England.
The technology of long-time exposure captures the momentary and timescale that disappears and turns the now into our history, making it memorable, readable, and appreciated by the audience.
The photographs of fireworks in this album are manipulated to combine photographs taken from different locations across England.
The manipulated photographs of bonfire fireworks events inside England display a near-perfect visual experience of fireworks sensations through technological advancement. Besides, the structured fireworks within the photographic framework illustrate the impossibilities of visual sensation through the naked eye.
The additional drone display shares the newer technological advancement to achieve imaginable moving images projected onto the sky to share colourful lighting beyond what mere fireworks explosives may achieve traditionally. The result of long-term exposure displays new and unimaginable formations through the drone's movements, reaching fresh visual sensations not only through the naked eyes but also through photographic experience.
