على كثــر ما اعطيــه ماقد عطاني

والا جفانـي الـبوح .. فالعمر فاني
لابوه لابو .. من يجيـــه وْيناديه

كان الزمن هو زمنا
وكان الفرح هو رسمنا
وكان وكان
وتبدل الي كان
واصبح ماضينا
كان يامكان

De weersvoorspellingen voor vandaag waren niet goed,maar er werd toch besloten om maar eens op de loopbrug bij Vught-aansluiting te gaan spotten. Rond 14u45 passeert vanuit richting Nijmegen en onderweg naar de Kijfhoek HSL 1832 met een fraaie GATX ketelwagentrein >Ethanol<

Algonquin Provincial Park is one of Canada's greatest treasures. Located in the heart of Ontario about two hour drive north of Toronto, in Autumn it is the main attraction in Ontario for spectacular fall colours.
Highway 60 is a provincial highway that passes through the southern portion, about 60 km, in Algonquin Park.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
I-5 cuts through Seattle. Traffic jams have returned almost to pre-pandemic levels.
There are a lot of windows in those skyscrapers.
Happy Window Wednesday!
The Hollywood Freeway is one of the principal freeways of Los Angeles, California (the boundaries of which it does not leave) and one of the busiest in the United States. It is the principal route through the Cahuenga Pass, the primary shortcut between the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. It is considered one of the most important freeways in the history of Los Angeles and instrumental in the development of the San Fernando Valley. It is the second oldest freeway in Los Angeles (after the Arroyo Seco Parkway). From its southern end at the East Los Angeles Interchange to its intersection with the Ventura Freeway in the southeastern San Fernando Valley (the Hollywood Split), it is signed as part of U.S. Route 101. It is then signed as State Route 170 north to its terminus at the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5).
Plans for the Hollywood Freeway officially began in 1924 when Los Angeles voters approved a "stop-free express highway" between Downtown Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. The first segment of the Hollywood Freeway built was a one and a half mile stretch through the Cahuenga Pass. That segment opened on June 15, 1940. It was then known as the "Cahuenga Pass Freeway." Pacific Electric Railway trolleys ran down the center of this freeway until 1952. The next section of the freeway that stretched from the San Fernando Valley to Downtown Los Angeles opened on April 16, 1954 at a cost of $55 million. The final section, north of the Ventura Freeway to the Golden State Freeway was completed in 1968.
A year after the Hollywood Freeway opened, it was used by an average of 183,000 vehicles a day, almost double the capacity it was designed to carry. Actor Bob Hope called it the "biggest parking lot in the world" in his routine.
The segment through Hollywood was the first to be built through a heavily populated area and requiring the moving or demolition of many buildings, including Rudolph Valentino's former home in Whitley Heights. The freeway was also designed to curve around KTTV Studios and Hollywood Presbyterian Church. Much of the rubble and debris from the buildings removed for the freeway's construction was dumped into Chávez Ravine, the current home to Dodger Stadium.
In 1967, the Hollywood Freeway was the first freeway in California that had ramp meters.
Near the Vermont Avenue exit, there's a seemingly over-wide center strip now filled with trees. This is where the never-built Beverly Hills Freeway was to merge with the Hollywood Freeway. Plans for the Beverly Hills Freeway were halted in the 1970s.
The Hollywood Freeway is an expansion of the original Cahuenga Parkway, a short six-lane freeway that ran through the Cahuenga Pass between Hollywood and Studio City. The Cahuenga Parkway featured Pacific Electric Railway "Red Car" tracks in its median, but by the 1950s these tracks were out of service due to radical reductions in Red Car service. The Pacific Electric right-of-way later accommodated an additional lane in each direction.
The second location of Los Angeles High School was in the path of the freeway. The school moved to its third and current location in 1917. The school buildings were converted into a school for boys with truancy problems until 1948, when it was demolished to make way for the freeway.

Sydney.
The walkway alongside the expressway is a 'gem' of a location for photography of Sydney harbour. It can be accessed by convict-built sandstone steps at Macquarie Street or Harrington Street.
I will be re-visiting this expressway at night - after work next week - to get some 'different' Vivid perspectives. First of-course there will be a compulsory flat white coffee and a 'coffee crumble tart' at 'The Rocks Cafe' - Sydney's oldest cafe, circa 1867. See:

Mount Shasta over the I-5 freeway somewhere south of Yreka, California. This is from a bridge over the road, a freeway exit that serves only local roads.
The road photo means I will be traveling soon, it's only for one week, this time I will have a new laptop with me instead of the iPad, so I will be able to upload and participate along the way, unless the laptop or wifi sucks, or something goes wrong.
