Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
The Blackford Road bridge. Per the link below, the bridge is a highly unusual style for California, made even more unique for having vertical ends. Additionally, this bridge was not originally at this location, having been built in 1916 but then moved to this location in 1966. The bridge is over the spillway for the dam that created Camp Far West Lake (reservoir).

Courtesy of M*Pgh. Knowing that I am preaching (mostly) to the choir here:
With a 10% reduction in the U.S. defense budget, and the transfer of those monies to high-speed rail development we could have this kind of network in place all over the U.S.
Do you think that's a good idea? Why or why not? Thanks.

Accelerating Infrastructure to Boost Growth and Employment
Infrastructure is considered a key driver and enabler of economic growth, diversification and global competitiveness. The ability of governments to deliver infrastructure in a conventional direct borrowing or funding mode is diminishing rapidly. It is therefore important to look for ways in which past and present experience can be used to enable public and private decision makers, including those in emerging markets, to find ways forward for accelerated infrastructure delivery.
A panel of high-level practitioners discussed ways in which a sustainable up-lift of infrastructure modernisation can be delivered, based on positive experience gained in the EBRD countries and other emerging markets.
