Morey's Adventure Pier is one of the three Morey's Piers along the Wildwood, New Jersey Boardwalk. Adventure Pier is located at Spencer Ave and the Boardwalk. This is a night photo of the "Great White" (Out and Back) Wooden (style) Roller Coaster installed by "Custom Coasters International" in 1996, featuring "Philadelphia Toboggan Company" Trains.
The Coaster Structure is Steel, but it is built to look and feel like a Wooden Roller Coaster.
Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924) and his firm of Adler & Sullivan were the architects for the Guaranty Building (also known as the Prudential Building) in Buffalo, New York; completed in 1895, this early steel skyscraper clad in terra cotta, the superbly executed decoration does not obscure the clarity of expression of the structural elements of this landmark early modern design
I took this photograph on May 9, 1998, while on vacation on Sanibel Island, Florida.
Sanibel Beach Lighthouse is located in Lighthouse Beach Park on Sanibel Island in Lee County, Florida. The Address is 112 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, Florida. The Lighthouse is directly across San Carlos Bay from Fort Meyers Beach, Fort Meyers, FL.
Disclaimer: This photograph was taken in May 1998 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm SLR with Color Print Film, when I was just learning photograph, so it is very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negative, and used Photoshop Elements™ to correct the Exposure and Saturation to generate the Digital Digital Image, presented here on flickr™.

From 2011, remembrance of spring past- -sunny, warm, and inviting; spring 2014, cold, wet, and dreary. Sunset at the Sault Canal and the International Railroad Swing Bridge, the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge, and the Sault Canal Emergency Swing Dam Bridge. The Sault Canal opened in 1895 as a ‘Canadian‘ alternative to the nearby American Soo Locks. Closed in 1987 due to a lock wall collapse, the canal was reconstructed and reopened for recreational boating use in 1998. The Canal is operated as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada: when it opened, it was the world’s first to be operated electrically, and it was the world’s longest lock- -the lock was 274 metres / 899 feet long and 18 metres / 59 feet wide.
The International Railroad Swing Bridge was built in 1895 by the Dominion Bridge Company of Canada based upon a Baltimore truss design. The bridge features extensive v-lacing and lattice for support. The bridge was originally a pin connected structure; however, the bridge has been altered in the past with additional steel bolted on to increase rigidity.
The Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge is a 4.5 kilometer / 2.8 mile long metal Cantilever (suspended deck) Warren Through Truss two lane bridge with a two span arch over the American Soo Locks and a single span arch over the Canadian Sault Canal. It was designed by the New York architectural firm of Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist and London; the bridge opened October 1962.
The Emergency Swing Bridge Dam was built in 1896, entirely of steel, by the Dominion Bridge Company. The structure is the last of its kind in the world: a moveable bridge like dam, that swings across a canal, lowers its wickets and shutters into the canal, reducing the flow of water, enabling repairs to a damaged lock to be made. The Swing Bridge Dam features a Baltimore style truss configuration with substantial v-lacing and lattice work, pinned and riveted connections.

A great architectural building, with free entrance, not only to the public part, but you can enter all 11 floors were e.g. offices are located, and photograph as long as you want.
I had a wonderful day with my sister; shopping, lunching, laughing, and photographing!

Taken from street level, the image captures Tokyo Skytree as it pierces a clear blue sky, framed dramatically by the vertical lines of adjacent skyscrapers. Golden-hour sunlight washes the tower’s steel lattice in warm tones, creating a striking contrast against its crisp outline. The composition amplifies the sense of height and scale: the surrounding buildings form an urban canyon that draws the eye upward to the spire’s peak. The sleek silhouette feels at once ultramodern and timeless – its form was deliberately inspired by traditional Japanese shapes, echoing the curve of a samurai sword and the rounded pillars of ancient temples

Another in the PP series from my first survey of the space. I'll be returning in a couple of weeks for more project meetings and am hoping to spend atleast a half day back in the Plant for more surveying and more shots of the place. I really loved the way this one came out showing the richness and layers of this Building within. The structure, large high windows, the layering of levels and the open atrium space left.

Day 23 - An interesting detail of a building

The Zeche Zollern / Zollern coal mine was the first industrial complex in Germany to be officially protected and preserved as a historic monument. Since 1969 the site and the structures have been completely restored. Now they are operated as an industrial museum. The mine has been built between 1898 and 1904. It was designed as an exemplary complex of that time. The ground plan was conceived to resemble a castle-like pattern with three wings and an open space with trees in the center.
I took these images with a Nikon F3 camera, PC-Nikkor 2.8/35mm lens, and Ilford XP2 super.
Close up of the supporting structure behind the Lovell Radio Telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.
When you visit the site and stand close to this you can’t help but stare in awe at the sheer scale of the Telescope dish and the supporting structure behind it. The two main altitude bearings are made from two 15” gun turret bearings from the World War II battleships HMS Revenge and Royal Sovereign.
I’d love to have been present in the fifties when Sir Bernard Lovell slapped the plans on the table for this one. If only to amend them with the foot note “ Ensure all parts are present before assembly”.
April 30, 2022 - Konica Minolta on Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen. I love how the steel supports for the sign are attached on the side of the building into the floor line. Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Shot from Leeds Road, you can see a large chunk of the steel structure of the Gasometre has been demolished, also you can see the molten metal from the Oxy Acetylene Cutting Torch spraying everywhere.
