I'm assuming this notice from last weekend from the Germantown Kroger was referring to something computer/ network, and/or software related. It just so happens this will likely be applying to myself as well, as I woke up to the sound of my PC making noises that were none too pretty! I suspect the fan on the power supply is going out, and it could take several days before I can get a new one to replace it. In the meantime, unloading and other Flickr activity will likely be more sporadic. Thanks in advance for your patience in this matter!
An oil refinery?
A nuclear power plant?
An M.C. Escher drawing?
Actually, it is the bottling line of the Anheuser Busch Brewery, in St Louis. This is the very first of many Anheuser Busch breweries around the country, built in the mid 1800's. Absolutely amazing complex to see.
They even give out free samples. Too bad I've never liked Budweiser beer.
'City is building...' - Amsterdam photos and pictures.
A cityscape of Amsterdam with a wide view over the Oosterdok / Docklands area, full of excavations and sheet piling along the train track (to the right) and ramming activities for new buildings - the large bows of the 19th century smoke caps of the Central station are very clear visible to the right on the horizon.
Also you can see above the horizon the two towers and dome of the Nicolas church, in front of the Central Station building.

„Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen
The Zollverein industrial complex in Land Nordrhein-Westfalen consists of the complete infrastructure of a historical coal-mining site, with some 20th-century buildings of outstanding architectural merit. It constitutes remarkable material evidence of the evolution and decline of an essential industry over the past 150 years.
The Zollverein XII Coal Mine Industrial Complex is an important example of a European primary industry of great economic significance in the 19th and 20th centuries. It consists of the complete installations of a historical coal-mining site: the pits, coking plants, railway lines, pit heaps, miner’s housing and consumer and welfare facilities. The mine is especially noteworthy of the high architectural quality of its buildings of the Modern Movement.
Zollverein XII was created at the end of a phase of political and economic upheaval and change in Germany, which was represented aesthetically in the transition from Expressionism to Cubism and Functionalism. At the same time, Zollverein XII embodies this short economic boom between the two World Wars, which has gone down in history as the “Roaring Twenties.” Zollverein is also, and by no means least, a monument of industrial history reflecting an era, in which, for the first time, globalisation and the worldwide interdependence of economic factors played a vital part.
The architects Fritz Schupp and Martin Kemmer developed Zollverein XII in the graphic language of the Bauhaus as a group of buildings which combined form and function in a masterly way. „
As seen from the rear of a Kimball-bound Brown Line 'L' train, a 1970s-built interlocking tower oversees the CTA action at Clark Junction in Chicago's bustling Lakeview neighborhood. The steelwork to the left supported the small Clark Street station until a 1948 service change that eliminated dozens of minor 'L' stops across the system. The original Clark Junction interlocking tower was integrated with the former station, and was closed in 1976.
After Tower 18 on the Loop Elevated downtown, Clark Junction is the busiest interlocking on the CTA rail system. During rush periods, northbound track 3 at the junction sees over 40 trains an hour, split about evenly between Red and Brown Line movements. Quoting from chicago-l.org: "to put this in proper context, there is a comparable short section at Aldgate North Junction, one of the busiest on the London Underground, that sees 30 trains an hour." In 2002, 876 trains passed through Clark Junction every weekday, and that number has only increased in recent years. There are plans to ease congestion here with a flyover replacing the flat junction, but the scheme is controversial because it would require demolition of several adjacent buildings in what has become a very busy and fashionable neighborhood.
Another night of stopping by Pepper Ave. after my evening class. At first there was very little activity going on, but that changed after a short time.
The crew in UP 1586 wait for another yard job to finish shoving back into the yard.

Few people were in the grandstands, while the track dryers continued to work on the wet track before the truck race.

A new place that I found and decided to explore, the Mill Bay dock which was a very nice find. Looks like a good spot for astrophotography when we get some clear skys.
