V malajsii jsou mešity na každém kroku, ale takových jako tahle moc není. Ani nevím, proč se ji říká železná mešita, snad z ní neudělali obří hromosvod, ale takhle z výšky (mimochodem tohle je ze sídla té firmy kde jsme byli na přednášce) vypadá moc hezky. Docela mě mrzí, že jsme nebyli vevnitř.
Infrastructure to authorise movements in Lithgow Yard was still controlled from signal box of that name by semaphore signals in 2008. These are situated near the former Eskbank Station. Lithgow, NSW. September 20, 2008.
Another picture on the top of the old swing bridge at Folkestone over the harbour. There must be many railwaymen who would enjoy the thrill of tackling this awesome gradient again.
These towers have been standing along the electric division of the Hudson line since the electrification was built reaching Harmon, as far as the 600VDC electrification would go, in 1913 the same year Grand Central Terminal would open to the public. Since then, they have stood the test of time supporting the electrification, carrying the high voltage AC that would be stepped down and converted to DC for the third rail along with signal and communication lines as well. Although all of that has been moved either underground or in conduits along the right of way, a fair number of transmission towers still stand along the Hudson, just as they did when the New York Central first erected them. This is one alongside the Hudson at Scarborough, NY.
And we’re back!
As is often the case with this photostream, I don’t have much to post in between major trips. I’ve sort of turned into a travel photographer. But, luckily for you guys, I just got back from a major trip, so there is an abundance of content to share! I am planning on posting approximately two photos per week, but this may vary a bit as I start posting the photos. I want to pay particular attention to the descriptions this time, since I am trying to make this a bit more of a travelogue than I have before.
On this trip, I went to Chile and Argentina. The trip was on November 17-28. I spent the 17 th in Santiago by myself, and then spent the rest of the trip in Patagonia with my friend Jake (see his photography at www.aaroads.com/blog/). We made it to Tierra del Fuego, Torres Del Paine, Capilla Marmol, and Glacier Perrito Moreno, and those are just the highlights. While I have not processed all of the photos from the trip yet, I can say that there are a lot of photos that I am excited to share (this is not one of them).
This photo marks the start of the trip in Santiago. I was there less for than 24 hours, and more
importantly I was there by myself. My Spanish is not great, and Jake missed his connection so I wasn't fully mentally prepared to spend a day in a foreign country by myself. Between being slightly scared, getting through customs, and telling the taxi driver (in Spanish) that 120USD is too much for a 9 mile taxi ride while the taxi was still in motion, I didn’t get a picture of a sign that said “Bienvenidos a Chile” or anything like that. This will have to suffice.
This is a picture of the Autopista Central, a major highway through Santiago. There’s nothing
particularly notable about this, other than the fact that I’m an infrastructure nerd and I thought the layout of the freeway/subway was interesting. It shows that the city can be pretty well laid out in spots, but this is not true everywhere. I didn’t get a chance to take the subway (I walked about 6 miles the one day I was there), but I have heard that the subway is considered decent by international standards.
You can follow me on twitter at @DanielBrim. I mostly talk about dumb baseball stuff, but I talk about photography once in awhile!
Phyllis and I loved the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps -- a beautiful, community-created mosaic running up the steps at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco.
In 2003, Artists Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher led the creation of 163 mosaic panels that were applied to the step risers, over 300 neighbors helped make them, and over 220 neighbors sponsored handmade animal, bird and fish name tiles embedded within the mosaic. They successfully completed the project two years later, in 2005.
This collective art project is one of San Francisco’s little-known gems that’s well worth the trip: it is a sight to behold, as these photos suggest. The spiral patterns that run through all the steps are exquisite and tie it all together. What a wonderful way to make art with your neighbors!

Shot from the Aria. Waited for the train to pass by those tracks, would've been cool but was too impatient.
