They've laid the last main steelwork across Sheffield just north of Roscoe. The Brown Line trains today (January 30) were single tracking from just east of Southport, which provides an unusual sight, and a bit of humor.
Another week, more progress on construction.

The CTA flyover is coming along. They've closed down Sheffield north of Roscoe so they can install the connecting steelwork over the street. And they're installing the crossbracing on the steelwork they've already done.

I love steel structures and this is one of the most beautiful ones I found so far, especially with the evening light striking it from the side.

Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera, meaning the 'The Quarry', is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1906–1912. It is located at 92, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade) in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
It was a controversial design at the time for the bold forms of the undulating stone facade and wrought iron decoration of the balconies and windows, designed largely by Josep Maria Jujol, who also created some of the plaster ceilings.
Architecturally it is considered an innovative work for its steel structure and curtain walls – the façade is self-supporting. Other innovative elements were the construction of underground car parking and separate lifts and stairs for the owners and their servants.
In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The building is made open to the public by the CatalunyaCaixa Foundation, which manages the various exhibitions and activities and visits to the interior and roof.
Mykola’s Krupavicius Gravesite. Saint Casimir Cemetery - Chicago Illinois.
This all welded steel structure marks the grave of Mykola’s Krupavicius - (1885-1970). All the letters that are inside the arc shaped structure are welded to hollow steel tubes which are welded in place between each piece of vertical square tube.
The stone carving up at the top is bolted to a steel plate that rests on either 6 or 8 horizontal square tubes. The base of the structure has more letters that may have threaded studs welded on the backside so they could be bolted down.
I am also not sure if the entire structure was ever painted. There is no evidence of any paint. The structure is rusty. The letters inside the arc show faded & worn paint as does part of the base under the individual letters.
Mykolas Krupavičius (October 1, 1885, Balbieriškis, Suwałki Governorate – December 4, 1970, Chicago) was a Lithuanian priest and politician. He is best remembered for his involvement with the land reform in the interwar Lithuania.
In 1900 Krupavičius enrolled into the Veiveriai Teachers' Seminary. He showed interest in politics from early days: during the Russian Revolution of 1905 he was arrested twice. After graduation in 1905, he worked as a teacher in the Łomża Governorate and in Papilė. In 1908 Krupavičius began his theological studies at the Sejny Priest Seminary and continued them at the Saint Petersburg Roman Catholic Theological Academy.
He was ordained into priesthood in June 1914. After graduation in 1917, he worked as a chaplain at a Lithuanian school in Voronezh. At the same time he got involved with the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party and was sentenced to death by the Bolshevik revolutionary court. Krupavičius escaped the arrest and returned to Lithuania in May 1918. He joined activities of the Council of Lithuania struggling to establish independent Lithuania. From the very beginning he was heavily involved with the land reform.
Krupavičius was elected to all Seimas (parliament) and served as Minister of Agriculture from 1923 to 1926 in four different cabinets. After the 1926 Lithuanian coup d'état, the Lithuanian Nationalists Union usurped the political power and Krupavičius studied sociology, economics, and law at the Lille University and University of Toulouse for two years. Upon return in 1930 he resumed his duties as priest and served Catholic congregations in Garliava, Veiveriai, and Kalvarija. During the occupation of Lithuania by Nazi Germany, Krupavičius together with Kazys Grinius and Jonas Pranas Aleksa sent a letter to the German authorities protesting their attempts to colonize Lithuania.
Krupavičius was arrested and deported to Germany where he was held under house arrest in a carmelite monastery in Regensburg. In 1945 he was elected as chairman of the Supreme Committee for the Liberation of Lithuania and served in such capacity for a decade. After the resignation he moved to the United States and largely retired from public life. Krupavičius published some 20 books on various topics in Lithuanian politics.

!!*Contains Hidden Watermarks"!!
Why? Recently I found many of my images on illegal print sites, that´s why I deemed it necessary to include watermarks in places where they can´t get cloned out easily.

The inspiration for the title comes from the game of the same name. It is available for download as a freeware (you'll also need the ScummVM interface for compatibility, also available there).
If you're into hand-drawn point'n'click adventure games (like the Monkey Island series, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Sam&Max etc.) there's a good cance you'll like this one too.
Beneath a Steel Sky features the work of comic artist Dave Gibbons, and is set in a dystopic cyber-punk future in Australia (hence the funny accent in the voice acting) with Orwellian overtones.
A major plus are the sometimes hidden, but completely cheesy jokes.
Btw. could someone please explain to me why the sky has this strange tone? I haven't used any filters and didn't tweak it during the editing either.
There is something about the old steel water towers that has drawn my attention. I'm not exactly sure what it is.

Mid Section of the London Eye wheel shows the massive architecture, with a massive steel frame.
London Eye is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the the whole United Kingdom, visited by more than 3 million people annually. It is a Ferris wheel, with a total height of 135 meters from the ground, with the wheel having a diameter of 120 meters. It set the ground for the construction of such tall Ferris wheel as tourist attractions, being the tallest such Ferris Wheel (until being surpassed by the 2 Asian based Ferris wheels - the Star of Nanchang and the Singapore Flyer - with the Singapore Flyer having a total height of 165 meters). When it was constructed, it provided the highest viewing point in London, until a higher observation point was created in another building, The Shard.
The London Eye is located on the southern banks of the Thames, located near to Jubilee Gardens, and between the Hungerford Bridge and the Westminster Bridge on the Thames. The London Eye is supported by a A-Frame on one of its sides, different from the support structures of the other high Ferris Wheels. Given its location, the river played a central part during construction. Sections of the wheel were assembled in place and then the whole structure was slowly moved up from the horizontal position to its current vertical position. The London Eye provides a total of 32 air-conditioned capsules, and each capsule holds 25 people (although capsules can be booked for special purposes, most often done on Valentine's Day where couples can book an entire capsule). The entire rotation of the wheel takes 30 minutes.
The London Eye was inaugrated in December 1999, and opened to the public in March 2000 (after it got over some initial technical problems). The London Eye is accessible through the closed London Underground station of Waterloo. For those visiting, boat rides on the River Thames also start from nearby.
