Deganwy is a small town in Conwy County Borough in Wales with a population of 3,700. It lies in the Creuddyn Peninsula alongside Llandudno and Rhos-on-Sea. Historically part of Caernarfonshire, it is in a more English-speaking region of north Wales, with only 1 in 4 residents speaking Welsh as a first language. It is located south of Llandudno and to the east of Conwy, which is on the opposite side of the River Conwy, and with which it forms the Conwy community. Indeed, the name Deganwy has been interpreted in modern times as Din-Gonwy, which would mean "Fort on the River Conwy", but the historical spellings make it impossible for this to be the actual origin of the name although mentioned in Domesday Book is "the territory of the Decanae tribe". The original wooden castle was rebuilt in stone after 1210. Deganwy is in the ecclesiastical parish of Llanrhos, and has a Victorian era Gothic parish church dedicated to All Saints.
Deganwy has one bilingual primary school, Ysgol Deganwy.

At Alpine Dam, Mount Tamalpais, Marin County. I assume this is a water pipeline, part of Marin Municipal Water District infrastructure on Mount Tam. Extra detail: Taken Dec. 1, 2010, on our 25th wedding anniversary. We hiked late in the afternoon, then drove across the ridge down to Stinson Beach, where he had dinner at the Parkside Cafe. The dog was with us, but had to wait in the car while we celebrated.
One of the truly remarkable things about the High Line is when it gets near the Hudson and suddenly you look out over something totally unexpected in Manhattan - open space!
This is especially true in the latest portion which goes all the way to 34th Street. We're directly over 11th Avenue here.
It's not the prettiest part of Manhattan, with 17 parked garbage trucks, train cars in the Hudson Yards, and huge construction projects all around. But it's old-skool beauty, with a great city's infrastructure at work.
Besides, it's big. Big is something you don't get much in this part of NYC.

Trem de passageiros da EFVM ainda na plataforma da Estação Central de Belo Horizonte logo antes de sua partida em uma bela manhã de dezembro. Esse seria os últimos meses de operação do trem nas belas cores da Companhia Vale do Rio Doce... uma pena que tudo mudou.
EFVM's passenger train moments before the departure from Central Station of Belo Horizonte. That was one of the last months of the train wearing the classic and beautiful Companhia Vale do Rio Doce's paint scheme... it's a shame how is everything different nowadays.
A recent improvement, a separated bike lane on one of the worst stretches of what I think of as Bike Highway #1, Mass Ave, which carries thousands of cyclists between Boston and Cambridge. Twice on this stretch I've had buses stopped in traffic open their doors without warning and disgorge passengers right into my path.
MillCityTimes.com Being lifted into place at the new Vikings Stadium in Downtown Minneapolis. I was on my balcony when I noticed the world's 3rd largest crane - blogs.mprnews.org/stadium-watch/2014/06/27/giant-crane-he... - lowering a massive steel beam into place. When I zoomed in I noticed the Port-A-Potty and centered the shot.
Imparerò a districarmi tra cime e sartie per ad issare tutte le mie vele, studierò le correnti ed i venti, affronterò le burrasche stando attenta ad evitare l’inganno delle secche e le lusinghe delle sirene.
Diventerò capitano della mia nave e, senza certezze ma senza paura, navigherò tutti i miei mari guidata dalle stelle nel cielo fino a quando, dall’alto dell’albero maestro, non udrò gridare il dolce suono della parola: …Terra! …Terra!
As a child and into my early twenties I spent a fair bit of time in Liverpool Street Station. In those days it was crime covered, lacking in investment. Services were provided by a mixture of older EMUs and long haul services into Norwich, Kings Lynn, Cambridge and Ipswich were provided by diesel loco hauled Mark I and Mark II coaches. Then in the early to mid 1980's money came in from the city and large parts of the rail property were sold off to finance the rebuilding of the station. Needless to say the property developers earn very handsome riches from the deal.
While the resulting station is a vast improvement it is largely cosmetic, the old Victorian infrastructure under, behind and approaching it still remains, unchanged. Anywhere else in Europe they would have addressed this, but not in England.
Unfortunately they never dealt with the Achilles heal of London Liverpool Street - the choke point of just four approach tracks to the station. The gutlessness of politicians and the greed of property owners in London have seen to it that capacity will be forever constrained.
Liege/BE, Maintrainstation, Liege-Guillemins ------ Der Bahnhof Liège-Guillemins ist der wichtigste Bahnhof der in der belgischen Region Wallonien gelegenen Stadt Lüttich.

Er ist Haltepunkt von Thalys- und Intercity-Express-Zügen und damit ein Knotenpunkt im europäischen Hochgeschwindigkeitsnetz. Außerdem ist er ein bedeutender Bahnhof im Regionalverkehr der SNCB/NMBS. Pro Tag verkehren hier rund 500 Züge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rogue River Bridge, Gold Beach, Oregon.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Conde B. McCullough was the state bridge engineer in Oregon at a time when highway infrastructure was rapidly expanding. His most distinctive style is evidenced in his elegant concrete arch bridges. The Rogue River Bridge was the first of six major Oregon Coast bridges. It was competed in 1931, stretching 1,898 feet across the mouth of the Rogue River. Its seven open-spandrel arches each span 230 feet.
