Entre la maquinaria de interés tecnológico en este parque minero se halla la Acopiadora o Cinta Transportadora, fechada entre las décadas de los 60-70. Se trata de una de las piezas fundamentales y de más envergadura dentro del equipamiento del coto minero, ya que gracias a éstas se traslada el mineral extraído para su limpieza y transformación a lo largo de todo el coto. Dicha maquinaria está situada en el centro de éste. Es de hierro, excepto la cinta que es de goma y su color es amarillo. La acopiadora se encuentra montada sobre cuatro soportes en las vías férreas que atraviesan longitudinalmente el parque de mineral
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!

At 2887 feet long, the Papago Freeway Tunnel (better known as the Deck Park Tunnel) seen here was the final section of Interstate 10 to be completed nationwide. It is located just north of downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
Fort Pitt Bridge is the one closer to the vantage point on the left side of the photo. I don't know if the one further afield is part of Fort Pitt Bridge or not.
Pittsburgh is surrounded by rivers and hills, and numerous bridges are needed to allow seamless movement of people and goods.

My friends and I didn't spend much time in Pittsburgh at all. I hope to return to Pittsburgh for a proper visit in a few years.
If you like what you're seeing, I recommend you to take a look of my friend Brandon's photoset of the beautiful city via this link:
Another common feature now seen on the UK network is Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS). This is a radio-based safety system that will automatically stop a train under certain circumstances.
The system uses an arming loop and a trigger loop and can be set to trigger the train's brake by varying the distance between the two loops.
Fence Friday, too.
Apparently, any critters resourceful enough to get over the eight foot (2.4 meter) high chain link and barbed wire fence will be deterred by the low, electrified rail fence, with its TransGard Animal Deterrent System gate and cautionary step. Hey! It's an electrical substation; why not make use of all that electricity hanging around!
The Tyne Bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne in North East England, linking Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. It was designed by the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson. The bridge was officially opened on 10 October 1928 by King George V and has since become a defining symbol of Tyneside.
The images from the series “Infrastructure of Artifice” were shot on location in the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands in 2007, using a large format view camera. Being the largest port in Europe, (second only to Shanghai globally) the Port of Rotterdam is a construct of enormous proportions that necessitates the globalized economy in which we all reside. In an increasingly globalized world, society becomes ever more homogenized creating a level of disassociation and isolation within the human psyche. The photographic gaze is drawn to the literal infrastructure of the port, at the same time highlighting the artificial construct of a landscape entirely reclaimed from the sea. This extreme example of how humankind affects the ‘natural’ landscape acts as a metaphor for the implications of artifice within the modern world. The images herein, seek to meditate upon the Port of Rotterdam as a simulacrum of modern day society and how this reflects upon the human condition.
This was taken on the 5th, I went back today and he and that part of the tower is gone, RIP Ballymun bear
