Reading Andrew Blum's "Tubes", where he becomes fixated on these rivers of light flowing beneath the streets and oceans. But it's a strange kind of light, unseen by human eye: it does not illuminate anything. Or rather, it illuminates elsewere. It reminds me of Michelangelo Pistoletto's "A Cubic Metre of Infinity (Minus Objects)", a box composed of inward-facing mirrors: the light is trapped, it is not seen, or if there is no light, what is reflected?
On the Wapping Wharf Branch, looking west back towards the bonded warehouses at Cumberland Basin. Note the 'whistle' board still in place, which must be something of a rarity for an urban heritage line!
Windsor Castle
The Queen: 60 Photographs for 60 Years - Sixty photographs of The Queen, including the work of leading press photographers of the past six decades, are brought together for a display at Windsor Castle to celebrate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee 2012.
The exhibition presents a portrait of The Queen’s reign as captured in fleeting moments on both official occasions and at relaxed family gatherings. With the advent of photography, the boundaries between the officially approved and the spontaneously captured image of the monarch were irreversibly blurred. Today, through the reach of modern media, the image of Her Majesty is familiar to millions around the world. Most of the exhibition The Queen: 60 Photographs for 60 Years has been selected from photographs submitted by the Royal Rota press organisations.
Royal Windsor Wheel
Step into one of the wheel's gondolas and be transported into the air. Gaze out over the skyline and see the surrounding area with a wonderous view in every direction. Fun, thrills, geography and history - all rolled into one!
With breathtaking 360 degree views almost 60 metres above Alexandra Gardens. The Wheel offers a birds eye view of historic Windsor and Eton from a rare perspective. A ride on the Wheel is the perfect location for a special day out for everyone.
Aerial construction shots of the new I-70 bridge between St. Clair County Illinois and St. Louis City. These photos were taken in August 2013.
We cross the the "highway". Even though there is real upgrade work going on along the Leh-Manali "highway", bridges are still an issue. Here trucks get stuck when the bridge was being repaired.

Bangkok (en thaï กรุงเทพมหานคร ou กรุงเทพฯ Krung Thep voir ci-dessous) est la capitale de la Thaïlande. C'est à la fois une ville et une province.
Bangkok is the capital and the most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (กรุงเทพมหานคร, pronounced [krūŋ tʰêːp mahǎː nákʰɔ̄ːn] ( listen)) or simply About this sound Krung Thep (help·info). The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in Central Thailand, and has a population of over eight million, or 12.6 percent of the country's population. Over fourteen million people (22.2 percent) live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region, making Bangkok an extreme primate city, dwarfing Thailand's other urban centres in terms of importance.
Bangkok traces its roots to a small trading post during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 15th century, which eventually grew in size and became the site of two capital cities: Thonburi in 1768 and Rattanakosin in 1782. Bangkok was at the heart of Siam's (as Thailand used to be known) modernization during the later nineteenth century, as the country faced pressures from the West. The city was the centre stage of Thailand's political struggles throughout the twentieth century, as the country abolished absolute monarchy, adopted constitutional rule and underwent numerous coups and uprisings. The city grew rapidly during the 1960s through the 1980s and now exerts a significant impact among Thailand's politics, economy, education, media and modern society.
The Asian investment boom in the 1980s and 1990s led many multinational corporations to locate their regional headquarters in Bangkok. The city is now a major regional force in finance and business. It is an international hub for transport and health care, and is emerging as a regional centre for the arts, fashion and entertainment. The city's vibrant street life and cultural landmarks, as well as its notorious red-light districts, have given it an exotic appeal. The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road and Patpong. Bangkok is among the world's top tourist destinations. It is named the most visited city in MasterCard's Global Destination Cities Index, and has been named "World's Best City" for four consecutive years by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Bangkok's rapid growth amidst little urban planning and regulation has resulted in a haphazard cityscape and inadequate infrastructure systems. Limited roads, despite an extensive expressway network, together with substantial private car usage, have resulted in chronic and crippling traffic congestion. This in turn caused severe air pollution in the 1990s. The city has since turned to public transport in an attempt to solve this major problem. Four rapid transit lines are now in operation, with more systems under construction or planned by the national government and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

at the Inwood sanitation yard. I talked to a guy who said they've been out of use since at least the '80s, when he started working here. You can tell there's some garbage around, though, by the number of seagulls flying overhead.
This deck plate girder bridge was built in 1890 by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. It continues to carry rail traffic across the Schuylkill River for CSX Transportation. In the background is the 1856-constructed P&R RR Schuylkill River Viaduct, a stone arch bridge.

Aerial construction shots of the new I-70 bridge between St. Clair County Illinois and St. Louis City. These photos were taken in August 2013.
This is a cartoon from our popular cartoonist in the Canberra Times.
It was published recently in our local paper, which we have subscribed to for 40 odd years, unlike others who have shifted to an iPad, I publish it here, with a link to the source paper, www.canberratimes.com.au/ to comment on our ageing infrastrucure, and as a companion to my photo here..

Some people think she has forced up the prices of electricity here because of our desire to help reduce Global Warming from our carbon emissions.
But others say price rises are a result of the uitilities spending more on up-grading our power networks.
This seems fair enough to me, as some of the poles are getting a bit old, and we have a lot of them in Australia! Since the networks were privatised, the State Governments are wriggling out of the blame, and passing it onto the private companies, so Julia, our esteemed Prime Minister, is shown here by David Pope, doing a topical Olympic vault over all these arguments.

I worked a local job last week. I’m the type that arrives for work about 30min early and the foggy morning provided the perfect opportunity to get some moody shots in, I have my camera with me anytime that I’m out of the house.
Mange fine perspektiv over brua, selv om dette etterhvert synes å være Drammens mest fotograferte attraksjon.
Steel bridge over the Karasjok river. The floor of footpath on the sides of the bridge was open iron mesh which was weird.
