Camelback truss portion of the Sault Ste. Marie International Railroad Bridge over the St. Marys River. There are nine Camelback through truss spans and one end of the bridge is in Canada and the other in the U.S.
The Sault Ste. Marie International Railroad Bridge has three different moveable spans (vertical lift and bascule spans across two Soo Locks canals and a swing span over the Sault Ste. Marie Ship Canal).

LUC has worked with a large multi-disciplinary team to deliver a sustainable infrastructure and development masterplan to guide the long term transformation of Shawfield in Glasgow’s East End. LUC also led the design and implementation of an advanced phase of public realm and landscape works that now forms a framework for new development to be realised over a 20-25year horizon.
Prior to construction the site was heavily contaminated and consisted of large areas of vacant and derelict land together with dated business and industrial premises. The site was completely cleared and underwent significant ground remediation in advance of the public realm works to ensure the site is ‘development ready’.
LUC developed a green infrastructure strategy to inform the masterplan design with an emphasis on integrated surface water drainage and pedestrian connectivity to surrounding communities, transport nodes and the River Clyde corridor.
The Clyde riverbanks have been manipulated to provide new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and this now provides an extension to the strategically important Clyde Walkway.
An ecologically diverse mosaic of riparian woodland, grassland and wetland habitats has been created that will improve the biodiversity of the River Clyde corridor.
A new strategic pedestrian and cycling link has been created linking the new South Dalmarnock Smart Bridge with the centre of the masterplan site, improving connectivity in the area. In contrast with the more naturalistic riverside treatment this link is more formal in character with strong tree avenue planting, lighting and paving patterns.

Bicycle detection symbols at video-actuated stop light on Mercer Island -- if you see a bicycle-on-a-line symbol at an intersection, that's where cyclists should stop to activate the traffic light.
In Washington State, these markings are now mandatory in some locations:
(b) Where motorcycle and bicycle detection is limited to certain areas other than immediately before the stop line or crosswalk in the center of a lane at an existing vehicle-activated traffic control signal, those detection areas must be clearly marked on the pavement at left turn lanes, through lanes, and limited right turn lanes. These detection areas must also be marked to allow a bicyclist to leave a bicycle lane to enter a detection area, if necessary, to cross an intersection. Pavement markings must be consistent with the standards described in the state of Washington's "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways" obtainable from the department of transportation.
During the last year the scouts have digged down essential infrastructure to support 39000 participants.

This little substation powers up the northwest corner of Lebanon and the northeast end of Columbia, Connecticut. A pair of 27,600 volt distribution lines runs from the old CL&P office on Main Street in Willimantic across the river, over Hosmer Mountain, stops here and continues on to a similar station on Wall Street in Colchester, where it ends. Surprisingly, it does not pass through the Card Street switching yard, as does most of the local power. Between this station and the Wall St. station in Colchester, this circuit serves 3,721 customers in parts of six towns. On January 24, 2011, the circuit went down for about 40 minutes due to "unknown" causes.

Editing was limited to a hair of sharpening, and some dust removal.
At the Radisson Blu Airport hotel, you can watch planes taking off and landing from all three runways, but 18L is the one that ends to the right of the shot and you get a lot of jets flying nice and low over the hotel, day and night.
When I stepped out for a "walk around the block" I just spotted the belly of a Turkmenistan Airlines plane, but even they now fly mostly modern Boeings.
When I first came to Istanbul 18 years ago, we flew in in an ancient Holiday Airlines Tupolev 154 from Dusseldorf. We were so scared that we were quiet the entire flight. It was perhaps one of the last opportunities to travel in a museum worthy old plane without having to to to North Korea or Cuba, but the 1970's interior and hammock-like orange seats were nothing to boost our confidence in ever arriving safely. I think my freind would have happily taken the bus back from Istanbul after this.
Of course, THE place to spot in IST is the FlyInn Mall which you can see clearly from the Runway. And my best spot was actually FROM the runway - a Turkish Airlines Borussia Dortmund plane! Got a soft spot for them ever since that Hertha game.
The Tupolev story is true: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_Airlines#/media/File:Holida...
The abysmal condition of CHICAGO 's multitude of train overpass & viaducts is not only appalling- but friggin scary!

This is the first time I've seen one of these. The design is very different from other suspension bridges I've seen. Notice the stabilization cables going sideways and attached to the structures at both ends of the bridge. I'm guessing they do this since they don't have the usual roadbed to use for stabilization.

Taken from the Águas Livres Aqueduct Lisbon Portugal
The first real projects for road plans in Portugal date back from 1843 and 1848, and were based on 18th century plans which was based on connections between Lisbon and strategical points of the country, and as a support for fluvial routes. The precognized network was classified in 1850 as estradas (roads) and caminhos (paths), with the estradas being classified as 1st and 2nd class. Caminhos were routes of mere local interest.
In 1862, the roads were classified as 1st class roads or estradas reais (royal roads), 2nd class roads or estradas distritais (district roads) and estradas municipais (municipal roads). The estradas reais were those with direct or indirect (via railways, for instance) origin in Lisbon) and the estradas municipais were those managed by the municipalities.
With the abolition of the Monarchy in 1910, the estradas reais were renamed estradas nacionais (national roads).
Major infrastructure while critical, should not eclipse small-scale investments especially as these benefit a large population.
By opening a window of opportunity for private enterprises and social economy organizations to participate in the water sector, additional resources and innovative approaches may be marshalled to address water challenges. Given the severe budgetary constraints, mobilising investments by international partners and private companies will be critical for the water sector’s recovery, particularly in supporting nascent decentralised water institutions at the provincial level.

Gestion de l'eau, RDC
Des ressources supplémentaires et des approches innovantes pourraient être mises en oeuvre pour relever les défis du secteur de l’eau et ouvrir ainsi des opportunités de participation pour les entreprises privées et les organisations de l'économie sociale. Etant données les contraintes budgétaires importantes, la mobilisation des investissements des partenaires internationaux et des sociétés privées sera en effet cruciale pour le relèvement du secteur, en particulier pour soutenir les nouvelles institutions décentralisées en charge de l’eau au niveau provincial.

In April of 2009, 970 Silva Cell frames and 620 Silva Cell decks were installed at the Lincoln Center Bosque (Barclay Capital Grove) in New York City, New York to support 30 new trees that were planted that spring. Each tree receives a total of 450 cubic feet (12.7 cubic meters) of soil. The project site, formerly known as the North Plaza, rests entirely on a parking garage.
