Le pont du Pays de Liège est un pont autoroutier inauguré début juin 2000 lors de l'ouverture de la liaison liaison E40-E25 à la circulation, il permet d'enjamber la Meuse et de relier ainsi Angleur à Cointe. Établi par le bureau d'étude Greisch, il est d'une longueur de 162 mètres.
Le pont est du type à haubans.
En venant de Cointe vers les Ardennes, il se compose successivement :
la culée en rive gauche de la Meuse
d'une travée de 31,5m sur le Quai Banning
d'une travée de 162m sur la Meuse.
du pylône d'une hauteur de 70m
d'une culée contre-poids d'une longueur de 134m.
La travée sur la Meuse et la culée contre-poids sont soutenus par 22 haubans chacun.
La travée sur la Meuse a été réalisée par poussage depuis la rive droite de la Meuse.
La culée contre-poids constitue la première partie du tunnel de Kinkempois.
The Liège Country Bridge is a motorway bridge inaugurated in early June 2000 with the opening of the E40-E25 interchange to traffic. It spans the Meuse River, connecting Angleur to Cointe. Designed by the engineering firm Greisch, it is 162 meters long.
The bridge is a cable-stayed type.
Coming from Cointe towards the Ardennes, it consists of the following sections:
the abutment on the left bank of the Meuse
a 31.5m span on the Quai Banning
a 162m span over the Meuse
a 70m high pylon
a 134m long counterweight abutment.
The span over the Meuse and the counterweight abutment are each supported by 22 cables.
The span over the Meuse was built using the launching method from the right bank of the Meuse.
The counterweight abutment forms the first section of the Kinkempois Tunnel.

Approximately 200 members of the Maryland Military Department, consisting of members of the Maryland Army and Air National Guard as well as the Maryland Emergency Management Agency and the Maryland Defense Force, participated in Governor Martin O’Malley’s second inauguration at the State House in Annapolis, Md. Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011. The Department’s roles included manning a joint operations center and escorting key personnel to the pre-inaugural ceremony, the Senate chamber ceremony and the ceremony on the West Portico. The 229th Army Band provided music, and the 104th Fighter Squadron of the Maryland Air National Guard performed a flyover with four A-10C Thunderbolts.
People in a bar near Trafalgar Square in 2009, watching Obama’s inauguration on big screens. A different world.
finally got this picture scanned. it's from when i went to DC for the re-inauguration of Barack Obama with a Hasselblad XPAN in hand.
So I spent the day in DC during the inauguration just allowing the day to take me where it would. Met a lot of nice folks on both sides of vastly differing opinions. All ballpoint. All in-situ. Very lucky with the weather. www.newsillustrator.com

A fable: The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out. But in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “It’s my nature…”
Many of the frogs who gave King Donald a ride will soon regret it.

I'm pleased to announce that this shot was 'Highly Commended' by the judges of the Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year 2012 competition in the Urban Category. Hugely chuffed about this. It's going to be on display as a printed copy at the National Theatre in London from the 12th November until the 12th January 2013. The shot also appeared in yesterdays Sunday Times - which is just fabulous - over the moon.
Apparently the book is out already - I haven't seen a copy - but judging from the shots in the Times yesterday its going to be fabulous - some really amazing shots - very much looking forward to seeing them.
As for the shot - well this was pretty much the last shot before my ill fated trip to the bottom of the Thames on the Shard's Inauguration night, so its the last shot I have with my D300 - which was smashed up in the fall. It was taken from across the river - slightly elevated along with hundreds of other photographers - I was surprised at just how many had turned out - it seems such a long time ago now.

These are some of the fireworks that happened today on Inauguration Day for Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris.
inaugurate verb: to put something into use
Turn up on election day in Australia and I'll bet London to a brick on you'll be offered a democracy sausage. There'll be equal odds that it will be cooked on a flat barbecue plate by someone from a local service club or school auxiliary, slapped diagonally on a piece of square, fluffy, characterless, sliced white bread, buried beneath undercooked onions if you're there early, or cremated ones if you're there late, and garnished with dead horse.
celebrate verb: to honour or praise
The sausage is a wondrous thing; a mystery bag of bits and pieces — whether it's upper class or as down-to-earth as a Scottish haggis. It is never celebrated more democratically than when it's laid down in the embrace of a bun, dressed here in a simplified form that you might encounter in København; a world away from the queue to vote.
This wiener is a pale simulacrum of the frankfurter it could be. Stuffed with ground bits rejected then selected for their inferiority, and wrapped in a dyed orange/brown skin, it'll have to do for this inauguration. Dressing this dog is the first, the inaugural task of a new batch of red kraut — fermented in the Danish-style with fennel seeds. The mustard is sweet, in the Swedish-style, and the onions are just a few metres from where they grew in this green land.
commemorate verb: to mark or celebrate
Here's to the not so humble hotdog! It commemorates its disparate parts, its humble origins in Germany, its adoption and adaptation around the World, symbol of getting together, getting along and the whole made better than the sum of its parts.
A tiny section of the massive crowd that was at the event. We got there around 11:00 a.m. These were a few of the folks behind us.

SHARE
I don't think he sprayed him, but still, there was a lot of spraying going on all around. This confrontation took place shortly after some property was destroyed, but I'm very sure the photographer had not taken part in that activity. It was shortly after this that some people were kettled and later charged with felony riot. Most of them had been no where near the property damage.

ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Matthias Maurer were among the distinguished guests at the official inauguration of LUNA, Europe’s ‘Moon on Earth’ analogue facility, on 25 September 2024 in Cologne, Germany. This innovative facility, operated by ESA and the German Aerospace Agency (DLR), is designed to replicate the lunar surface and will play a crucial role in preparing astronauts for future missions to the Moon, including NASA’s Artemis programme.
LUNA features a 700-square-metre area covered in ‘regolith simulant,’ allowing astronauts and engineers to test space technology, conduct research, and simulate lunar operations in realistic conditions. With this state-of-the-art facility, Europe is at the forefront of space exploration, providing essential insights for upcoming lunar missions and beyond.

No matter what your politics are, today is a historic day... marking the first time I have ever gotten up before sunrise to take pictures :) A few days ago, my cousin told me a story about my grandfather who went to the Inauguration every four years regardless of who won. I thought that was such a great custom, I had to try it for myself.
