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

A detail image of the cross bracing and lattice work of the International Railroad Swing Bridge. The bridge allows trains to cross the Sault Canal (a Parks Canada National Historic Site). The Swing Bridge was built in 1895 by the Dominion Bridge Company 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 bridge was originally built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company and is now owned by the Canadian National Railway Company.

The cool thing about the spheres in Seattle is the contrast between the green and the metallic surfaces of the structure.
An insulator, also called a dielectric, is a material that resists the flow of electric current. An insulating material has atoms with tightly bonded valence electrons. These materials are used in parts of electrical equipment, also called insulators or insulation, intended to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current through themselves. The term is also used more specifically to refer to insulating supports that attach electric power transmission wires to utility poles or pylons.
Some materials such as glass, paper or Teflon are very good electrical insulators. A much larger class of materials, for example rubber-like polymers and most plastics are still "good enough" to insulate electrical wiring and cables even though they may have lower bulk resistivity. These materials can serve as practical and safe insulators for low to moderate voltages (hundreds, or even thousands, of volts).
Insulators used for high-voltage power transmission are made from glass, porcelain, or composite polymer materials. Porcelain insulators are made from clay, quartz or alumina and feldspar, and are covered with a smooth glaze to shed water. Insulators made from porcelain rich in alumina are used where high mechanical strength is a criterion. Porcelain has a dielectric strength of about 4–10 kV/mm.[1] Glass has a higher dielectric strength, but it attracts condensation and the thick irregular shapes needed for insulators are difficult to cast without internal strains.[2] Some insulator manufacturers stopped making glass insulators in the late 1960s, switching to ceramic materials.
Recently, some electric utilities have begun converting to polymer composite materials for some types of insulators. These are typically composed of a central rod made of fibre reinforced plastic and an outer weathershed made of silicone rubber or EPDM. Composite insulators are less costly, lighter in weight, and have excellent hydrophobic capability. This combination makes them ideal for service in polluted areas. However, these materials do not yet have the long-term proven service life of glass and porcelain.

In the heart of Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania, lies a captivating scene of rustic wood and timeless steel. A narrow wooden walking bridge spans a gentle stream, surrounded by vibrant green vegetation, embracing the serene essence of nature. As the bridge guides the viewer’s gaze, it leads to the remnants of the once mighty Kinzua Viaduct, a historic landmark and a testament to human ingenuity.
The Kinzua Viaduct, also known as Kinzua Bridge, was once an engineering marvel, showcasing the strength and determination of American industry. Unfortunately, a powerful tornado in 2003 tore through the area, causing significant damage to the steel trestle structure. Today, the remaining sections of the bridge serve as a reminder of its former glory, standing tall against the backdrop of a dramatic sky, casting an air of mystery over the picturesque landscape.
Located within the Kinzua Bridge State Park, this breathtaking setting attracts nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers like Duncan Rawlinson. The juxtaposition of the wooden bridge’s simplicity and the steel viaduct’s grandiosity creates an environmental contrast that encapsulates the intersection of nature and human ambition.
The Kinzua Gorge offers visitors an opportunity for outdoor exploration and adventure. The observation platform on the Kinzua Skywalk provides a unique vantage point for admiring the gorge’s views and fall foliage. As the trail meanders through the forest, it offers a tranquil escape into the majestic beauty of the Pennsylvanian wilderness.
Experience the awe-inspiring fusion of natural beauty and historic engineering in this timeless American landscape. Whether you’re seeking an outdoor adventure or simply appreciate the serene elegance of nature, the Kinzua Gorge will surely leave a lasting impression.

Mykola’s Krupavicius Gravesite. Erected in 1970.
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.
