The Kabelsteg is a 76.50 m long pedestrians bridge over a side arm of the Isar river, built in 1898.
The name derives from its former secondary use as a cable bridge (Kabel = cable, steg = small bridge). It is an early example of a reinforced concrete bridge in Art Nouveau style and a listed structure.

Two years ago I went back to my hometown Schuders, a small village in the Swiss Alps. A windy one-lane mountain road leads up to the village. On the way you pass the Salginatobel Bridge, a reinforced concrete arch bridge designed by Swiss civil engineer Robert Maillart. It was constructed across an alpine valley between 1929 and 1930. In 1991, it was declared an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, the thirteenth such structure and the first concrete bridge so designated.

n the early Middle Ages, the reinforced castle of Poeke (Flanders - Belgium) served as a real bastion where knights from Flanders county assembled. The castle, which was the residence of the "Heren Van Poucke" ("Gentlemen of Poeke - mention the old-Dutch spelling of the word "Poeke") was at that time governed from Bruges. However, combative Ghent rebels repeatedly attacked the castle. Consequently, after the year 1453 Poeke castle felt into ruin for many years. One and a half century late, in 1597, the family Preud'homme d'Hailly from Rijsel (North of France) bought the castle from a family called "Delrye" and governed Poeke for more than 2 centuries. They made the castle the centre of their increasingly growing properties.
It was in the same year 1597 that heirs of this nobility introduced the title "Burggraven of Nieuwpoort" ("Viscounts of Nieuwpoort"). Although their cultural wealth was initially suppressed because of the 16th and 17th century wars, successive generations of viscounts led the Baronny of Poucques to a short, but uncontested peak in 1765. From 1762 up to 1774, Karel Florent Idesbald de Preudhomme was not onlyViscount of Nieuwpoort and Oombergen, Baron of Poeke, Sir of Axpoele, Neuville, Sint-Lievens-Esse, Velaines, etc., but also chamberlain of the Austrian king.
At that time, the kingdom of the Netherlands was governed by Austria and looked as a rigid and hierarchic society, where the aristocracy was able to maintain their privileges up to the French Revolution (1789). Even after the French-Napoleonic empire collapsed (1815) and after Belgium came into being (1830), the aristocracy could maintain its position as the high social class on the Flemish countryside.
The isolated location of Poeke, the steady decrease of the number of its inhabitants and the stable agricultural character of Poeke, which mainly consisted of farmsteads, all these reasons caused the aristocratic power system to continue to function until after the Second World War (1945).
In the second half of the 19th century, the family Preudhomme D'Hailly was once and for all past its peak and financial problems weakened its position inside as well as outside the village. As a consequence, they had to abandon the castle in 1872.
The family Pycke de Peteghem - which was raised to the peerage in 1730 - bought the castle and gradually dominated the small East-Flemish agricultural village. Its political representation mainly focused on the mayoralty, a position that was rarely assigned to someone who was not a member of the aristocratic family.
The castle largely survived both World Wars, but the aristocratic influence during the 20th century died out when the last Baroness of Poeke, Inès Pycke de Peteghem deceased (1955). The property structure of the castle changed for the last time in 1977, when Poeke fused with Aalter. From then on, the castle was owned by the community and became a public domain. Up to now, it is part of an extraordinary recreation facility.
But the more powerful point of the contrapasso that attaches appropriate schemes of punishment to different species of sin is that your condition in Hell conforms exactly to the shape and form of your own desires,14 of those desires of yours acting upon which got you there in the first place. In that sense you make your own Hell for yourself.
--Dante the Theologian, Denys Turner
They are four reinforced-concrete structures located above the dam, two on each side of the canyon. The diameter of these towers is 82 feet at the base, 63 feet 3 inches at the top, and 29 feet 8 inches inside. Each tower is 395 feet high and each controls one-fourth the supply of water for the powerplant turbines.
The figure of Jesus Christ the King of the Universe is a reinforced concrete sculpture erected in 2010.
The total height of the monument is 36 m, of which 33 m falls on the figure of Jesus and 3 m on gilded crown. The statue was erected at artificial mound a height of 16.5 meters, (the total height of the monument and the mound is 52.5 m). The cost of the entire construction is estimated at about 6 million zlotys, which were covered by voluntary contributions from parishioners, American Poles, and local businessmen.
The sculpture refers to the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, but is 3 meters higher. Today the statue of the monument in Świebodzin is the highest sculpture depicting Jesus Christ in the world.

Figura Jezusa Chrystusa Króla Wszechświata to żelbetowa rzeźba wzniesiona w 2010.
Całkowita wysokość pomnika wynosi 36 m, z czego 33 m przypada na figurę Jezusa a 3 m na wieńczącą pomnik pozłacaną koronę. Pomnik wzniesiony został na liczącym 16,5 m wysokości sztucznie usypanym kopcu (łączna wysokość pomnika i kopca wynosi 52,5 m). Koszty całej budowy szacuje się na ok 6 milionów złotych, które zostały pokryte z dobrowolnych datków parafian, Polonii amerykańskiej, a także lokalnych przedsiębiorców.
Forma rzeźby nawiązuje do pomnika Chrystusa Odkupiciela w Rio de Janeiro, od którego jest o 3 metry wyższa. Obecnie statua pomnika w Świebodzinie jest najwyższą rzeźbą przedstawiającą Jezusa Chrystusa na świecie.

Europe, The Netherlands, Nood Brabant, Eindhoven, Evoluon, Roof (uncut)
Inside the Evoluon museum, shot towards the structuralist reinforced concrete skeleton of the roof. The building, which looks like a UFO or flying saucer, was built as a showcase for technological progress, particularly those in which the originally Eindhoven-based company Philips was involved. It was designed by Louis Kalff and Leo de Bever and transferred to the municipality of Eindhoven in 1966 on Philips' 75th anniversary.
The building was an educational technology museum from 1966 to 1989 and attracted many visitors until the 1970s. This was partly because they were allowed to experiment and operate the showcased models themselves. This was new then and particularly attractive to schoolchildren and other young people. Many schools traditionally organised an 'Evoluon trip' once a year.
In 2022, the Evoluon reopened as a museum under the leadership of the Next Nature Foundation. This organisation focuses on researching the impact of technology on our lives and the planet. Next Nature makes future scenarios tangible for a wide audience in the Evoluon through exhibitions and educational programmes for schools and companies.
This is number 16 of the Eindhoven abum.
The midday rest period is an important time for establishing and reinforcing relationships within the group. Mutual grooming reinforces social bonds, and helps keep hair free from dirt and parasites. It is not so common among gorillas as in other primates, although females groom their offspring regularly.
Young gorillas play often and are more arboreal than the large adults. Playing helps them learn how to communicate and behave within the group. Activities include wrestling, chasing, and somersaults. The silverback and his females tolerate and, if encouraged, even participate.
Twenty-five distinct vocalizations are recognized, many of which are used primarily for group communication within dense vegetation. Sounds classified as grunts and barks are heard most frequently while traveling, and indicate the whereabouts of individual group members. They also may be used during social interactions when discipline is required. Screams and roars signal alarm or warning, and are produced most often by silverbacks. Deep, rumbling belches suggest contentment and are heard frequently during feeding and resting periods. They are the most common form of intragroup communication.
Mountain gorillas generally demonstrate aversion to certain reptiles and insects. Infants, whose typical behavior is to chase anything that moves, will go out of their way to avoid chameleons and caterpillars. The gorillas also demonstrate an aversion to water bodies in the environment and will cross streams only if they can do so without getting wet, such as by using fallen logs to cross the stream. They also dislike rain.

This is a double exposure of two shots I took in the Thar desert in India. In the vicinity of our desert camp, where we were staying in a full, albeit luxurious, tent, I found a concrete block with reinforcing irons peeking out of it. Since the sun was just setting behind it, I took a picture of it. One day later we had the pleasure of riding camels through sand dunes, which always gives spectacular shots anyway. I created this image from both shots.
Ganter Bridge is a reinforced concrete road bridge which is the longest spanning bridge in Switzerland, located along the Simplon Pass road in the canton of Valais about 10 km (6 mi) south of Brig.
The overall length is 678 m (2,224 ft) with a main span of 174 m (571 ft), and a maximum tower height of 150 m (492 ft).

C-FFAL, a Boeing 737-2R8C, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as RAG100 (Glencore Canada Corporation) from Montreal, Quebec. This aircraft supports the Raglan nickel mine near Kattiniq, Quebec - 1,270 statute miles north northeast of her base at Mississauga.
She began her career as 5H-MRK with Air Tanzania way back in May 1979. The 40-year-old still looked great.
C-FFAL has been worn on this airframe since it arrived in Canada back in January 2005, when it was registered to Falconbridge Limited in Toronto. That mining company was later acquired by Glencore.
Three workers install the steel reinforcing rebars for one of several concrete columns for the second and third floors of an old one-story chapel building under renovation.
Started three years ago, the construction project on about 200-sqm lot was stopped for a few times in the recent past due mainly to coronavirus pandemic.

Climate change poses a major threat to the whole planet, but there are certain geographical areas which are more exposed to the dangers of global warming.
These countries are part of the so-called SIDS (Small Island Developing States), which by its nature will be the first to suffer the consequences of climate change and are in danger of disappearing.
These territories, 52 according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs mostly share the fragility of a subsistence economy based on tourism, the difficulty in communications and infrastructure development, lack of protection against natural disasters and dependence on international trade.
Here are nine of these islands at risk of disappearing due to global warming.
Republic of Kiribati
Republic of Maldives
Republic of Vanuatu
Tuvalu
Solomon Islands
Samoa
Nauru
Fiji Islands
Marshall Islands
FYI, in Majuro, capital of the Marshall Islands, it has already begun..tracts of land usually in sight have been swallowed by the sea.

We saw more than 50 White-faced Ibis families nesting in bulrushes above the water. Nests are built by both sexes and have a depression in the center. This was a communal affair, kind of an Ibis kibbutz, with a series of large nests holding numerous families side by side. There was even a Pied-billed Grebe with the hen sitting on seven or eight eggs. American Coots were also in the area with juveniles. Adult Ibises were constantly flying back and forth with nest material. Given that they "borrow" from vacant nests, their constant repair efforts are understandable.
today began working on reinforcing the garden arches as recommended in the feedback www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-24m-garden-arch/p/0298561 both arches unfinished as i've run out of canes so will buy some more from wilko tomorrow pack of 10 (1m 80cm) for £2.50
i planted pyracantha with yellow berries at the very back of the garden to cover the back fence and foxglove in front of the pyracantha
my geum are covered in white fly. i sprayed them with an organic fungus repellant (bee and ladybird friendly) 'growing success fungus stop' but now realise i should have used 'growing success bug stop'. i'll buy it tomorrow when i get the canes
rocks, stones, broken crockery and canes surrounding the plants to help prevent pet damage - works to a certain extent :)
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...
i'm not making recommendations. it's just chat ...

Reinforced bonds, a METAPHOR OF LIFE, of knots and ropes and hooks.
In one go my favourite colour-combinations.
So, when back from the Continent, having reinforced the bonds with family ... with old friends and new friends...
Yes, the feeling is good!
And this image of some mended nets on the quayside in the harbour in Ostend/ Flanders is the perfect illustration of I how feel and what I mean.
The industrial fishing harbour of Ostend is one of our old hunting-grounds, we still love going there, as there is always something that catches the eye.

The Kroch high-rise building on Leipzig's Augustusplatz was the city's first high-rise building and was built in reinforced concrete in 1927 and 1928 for the Jewish banker Hans Kroch.
And on the right the famous Opera which was under construction at that time due to a renovation of the building.....
Shot taken for SSC 22/02/2024 --Reinforced or Reinforcement .
Take one pretty low railway bridge on fairly busy road and an incline on a bend on the other side and there is a recipe for taller vehicles to come a cropper under the bridge if they don't hit the bridge first anyway . It has happened a number of times and I have seen it a couple of times , think one was a ready mix concrete truck !
So as a precaution now the bridge is now reinforced with this yellow structure - as well as being a bright yellow to raise awareness this reinforcement ( and the one on the other side of the bridge ) , it serves as a reinforcement in that if a tall vehicle hits it it will absorb much of the force and if the vehicle hits it with force the shock load does not hit the bridge span but is directed into the major bridge side supports which is more capable of absorbing the shock load.
Well that is my SSC reinforced shot and hope it fits the bill .
Now this bridge has been out there in many frosts recently so - Yes , it is The Ice Bridge !!

These trails are made by snails scraping algae off the glass using their radula, a kind of toothed tongue.
Another lesson reinforced in this image is that sometimes a great shot is behind you so it always pays to look at every composition from as many angles as possible.
This organ elevated and located at the entrance of the church of the church is one of the last few remaining examples of the master organ builder Johann Heinrich Stumm and was most likely his last creation.
The organ designed in the Baroque style divided with a center window has 31 registers and two manuals and pedal and was built in 1773.
They still hold weekly concerts here and the organ is said to be one the best.

New Zealand’s tallest building is the Sky Tower in Auckland on the North Island. At 328 m in height, it is an icon of Auckland’s skyline.
There are glorious views over the City of Sails from the top, which we enjoyed from the Level 50 Sky Cafe.
On offer for the brave is the Sky Walk on Level 60, a handrail-free walk around the 1.2 m wide rim (with attachment rope), or the Sky Jump, an ultimate leap of faith with nothing but an abseiling wire between yourself and the ground below, reaching 85 kmph on descent.
I stood at the base looking up, watching as several folk took the plunge and even with my two feet firmly on the ground, it made my stomach flip.
The tower was designed by Gordon Moller, of Craig Craig Moller Architects and built in 1994. It is constructed of steel, pre-cast concrete and reinforced concrete. The tower is designed to withstand wind in excess of 200 kph and designed to sway up to 1 m in excessively high wind.
