Down To The Waterline

Dire Straits

 

Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the nihgt

Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights

No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn

Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

 

She can see him on the jetty where they used to go

She can feel him in the places where the sailors go

When she's walking by the river and the railway line

She can still hear him whisper

Let's go down to the waterline

 

Took this one on Thursday morning about 25 mins before sunrise. This was my first time trying the ISO6400 exposure calculation, and I have to say I'm quite impressed with how well it works. You gotta love Youtube for tuition!!! Thanks to my mate JA too for the chat beforehand. Hope you like "Down To The Waterline". Cheers, Mike

শাহ আমানত সেতু বা তৃতীয় কর্ণফুলী সেতুর নির্মাণ কাজ শুরু হয় ২০০৬ সালের ৮ আগস্ট। লুসাই পাহাড় হতে উৎপত্তি হয়ে বয়ে চলা কূল ঘেঁসে বাংলাদেশের বাণিজ্যিক রাজধানী গড়ে উঠা কর্ণফুলী নদীর উপর নির্মিত তৃতীয় সেতু হিসাবে শাহ আমনত সেতু এর প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক নাম হলেও কর্ণফুলী তৃতীয় সেতু নামেও এটি পরিচিত। সেতুটি চালু হওয়ায় কর্ণফুলী নদীর দক্ষিণ পারের শিল্প এলাকায় শিল্প বিকাশে শুধু সহায়তা নয়, বান্দরবান এবং কক্সবাজার পর্যটন শহরে নতুন দিগন্তের সূচনা হয়েছে

Belgrade, Novi Beograd, août 2015.

  

Novi Beograd (en serbe cyrillique : Нови Београд), la « Nouvelle Belgrade », est une municipalité de Serbie située sur le territoire de la Ville de Belgrade. Elle fait partie des 10 municipalités urbaines qui constituent la ville de Belgrade proprement dite. Au recensement de 2011, elle comptait 212 104 habitants.

Créée en 1948, Novi Beograd est, pour l'essentiel, une municipalité moderne, comportant de nombreux gratte-ciel. Elle est administrativement divisée en « bloks ». Autrefois très industrialisée (métallurgie, moteurs électriques…), elle abrite aujourd'hui les sièges sociaux de nombreuses entreprises et de plusieurs banques, ce qui en fait le principal quartier d'affaires de la capitale serbe. Elle abrite de nombreuses institutions éducatives ou culturelles, comme le Musée d'art contemporain de Belgrade.

Novi Beograd est situé sur la rive gauche de la Save, à l'extrême est de la région de Syrmie. Administrativement, sa partie la plus septentrionale est également située sur la rive droite du Danube, juste avant sa confluence avec la Save. La municipalité est reliée à la vieille ville de Belgrade par cinq ponts, le Pont de Gazela, le Pont de Branko, l'Ancien pont de la Save, l'Ancien et le Nouveau pont ferroviaire. La route européenne E75 passe au milieu de la municipalité.

La municipalité couvre une superficie de 40,74 km2. Le relief se caractérise par un terrain plat qui contraste avec les 32 collines sur lesquelles est construite la vieille ville de Belgrade. À l'exception de partie occidentale, Bežanija, à partir de 1948, Novi Beograd a été construit sur des terres autrefois marécageuses. Pendant des années, des bandes transporteuses longues de plusieurs kilomètres ont convoyé le sable de la Petite île de la guerre, située sur le Danube; de cette île fluviale, il ne reste aujourd'hui qu'une étroite bande de terre boisée.

Road 400 (Cottonwood Canyon Road) connects U.S. Highway 89 with Utah S.R 12 at Cannonville near the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park and traverses portions of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. This 47 mile dirt road has been used in the past as an alternative to U.S. Highway 89 for drivers wishing to avoid the long western detour around the scenic National Monument. Instead, Road 400 offers a unique drive through the heart of the Monument itself. The only other unpaved road (Smoky Mountain Road) traversing the entire Grand Staircase is to the east and is only suitable for high clearance four wheel drive vehicles.

 

Road 400 used to be a reasonably good quality dirt road (mostly sand and clay over a sandstone foundation) that allowed passage of ordinary vehicles during dry weather. Unfortunately as of mid-2009 an ongoing dispute over public rights of way in the Monument (see Revised Statute 2477) between the Federal government and Kane County (the local agency that used to provide maintenance) has led to a serious decline in the condition of the road, and only high clearance vehicles will be able to make the entire trip.

 

Originally constructed as a maintenance road for power lines following the canyon, it is considered impassable in wet weather as many drainages cross the road in various locations, and these may wash out during periodic flash flooding. In October-April roads will freeze after the sun sets. Additionally the first 10 miles of the southern leg traverses ancient seabed deposits of the Tropic Shale formation, and when wet this clay becomes unmanageable even with a four wheel drive vehicle.

 

Patient drivers of this road will be rewarded with a close look at spectacular natural features, including one known as the Cockscomb. While topography here is not on an especially large scale, the formations are jagged, varied, and colorful. Additionally there are a few excellent hiking trails that can be accessed along the midsection of the road such as Hackberry Canyon and the Cottonwood Narrows. Other notable attractions accessible from the northern reaches of this road include Grosvenor Arch and Kodachrome Basin State Park.

 

Given current road conditions, extra time should be allowed if this route is used. There are no services available anywhere along the route except at Cannonville on the northern end. Carry food, extra water and emergency supplies before traveling this road. Avoid this route if thunderstorms are in the area, and always check locally for road conditions at any one of the various BLM offices in the region before setting out.

 

A good overview of the terrain in this region may be seen at the project relief map at the Glen Canyon Dam interpretive center, located on the North side of the Glen Canyon overlooking the downstream face of the dam, where the road crosses over the bridge.

 

The canyon may be located on satellite images by starting from Lake Powell. The canyon is readily identified by the relatively straight gouge at the western boundary of this area running slightly east of north, in the center of Kane County.

Thanks for your visits, faves and comments...(c)rebfoto

Was a naughty boy at work today and spent my 'lunch break' Alt-Tabbing between a myriad of end of course reports (finished at last!) and my Flickr contacts recent images. I was astonished by the quality of the images, you guys are producing such wonderful pics!

To cut a long story short I came home like a bear with a sore head and just had to get out with the camera.

Hope you like:)

P.S. Guess it qualifies as a fence so Happy FFF to one and all!

The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge – because its Manhattan end is located between 59th and 60th Streets – and officially titled the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, is a cantilever bridge over the East River in New York City that was completed in 1909. It connects the neighborhood of Long Island City in the borough of Queens with Manhattan, passing over Roosevelt Island.
