Mercado do Bolhão, built in 1914 and avant garde for its time, due to the use of reinforced concrete in conjunction with steel structures, roofing, wood and masonry. Now really rather run down.

This bridge is the bridge across the Wabash River from Indiana to my hometown. It carried it's first passenger train on December 13, 1872. I have crossed it hundreds of times on various modes of transportation. I have been on the river under it more times than I can count. It is the only way out of my hometown when snow has drifted all the roads shut in the winter.
It was reopened the summer of 1996 as a toll road. The toll is 50 cents each way for a single axle vehicle. People drove across it for years even when it wasn't an official road. It originally didn't have the guardrail and the only thing separating you from the river was the 2" steel pipe. I have been over it in a car when people had cut pieces of trees from the river bottoms to fill holes where boards had rotted away.
It is also known as the "Purple Head Bridge" due to a local myth. Cars, trucks, trains, tractors, and back hoes have all gone over the edge. People have jumped from it, climbed it, and obviously painted it, and it has caught on fire three times that I know of. It is one part of home that will always have a spot in my heart. It is simply part of who I am.
I was walking around Lynnwood with Ranger while my oil got changed at Magic Toyota. I've always liked this vintage small industrial building and took a few photos of it back in March 2007 (here and here.). According to their website, HMC has been around since 1946 manufacturing retail display fixtures and entertainment centers. The place now looked a little vacant, and peering around the corner of the building I noticed that a portion of the building had burned down to the steel frame. Googling I learned that the fire occurred on February 20, 2008. I hope all is well with HMC and hopefully not another victim of recession.
HMC Industries Inc., 21020 63rd Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98036. The construction date of the building is 1956.
View of the large metal supertrees in the Gardens by the Bay in the marina area, these rising above the natural trees in the garden. The metal bridges between the supertrees is visible in this photo along with people on these metal connections. Gardens by the Bay is the newest tourist attraction of Singapore, and was meant to increase the amount of greenery in the city, trying out a concept called "City in a Garden", rather than being a "Garden City". It provides more green space in the city, a major attraction, as well as being a large outdoor space. The park spans 250 hectares, reclaimed land, next to the Marina Reservoir. Once fully completed, there will be 3 components - Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden.
Some of the more prominent structures inside the Gardens are the Supertrees and the Conservatories (the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest). The Flower Dome is larger than the Cloud Forest, having a size of 3 acres and will display plants that are typically found in the Mediterranean and similar regions while the Cloud Forest has a size of 2 acres and is meant to display plants that are found in tropical mountain regions (with a height between 1000 and 3000 meters above sea level). The Supertrees are the incredible tree like structures that act like vertical gardens and host exotic species of plants such as ferns, orchids and vines.
Although the risers for the cross trusses were welded in with various pitch to accommodate each truss determined by the truss distance from the focal point of the structure; when placed, they all appeared aligned to each other when standing near the focal point.

A man climbing a tall steel ladder on a barge right in front of the large floating platform in the Marina Bay area in Singapore. Not sure about what is being constructed, but since there are a number of events that take place on the floating platform and the Formula One race was about to happen in a month, it could be because of that. In the background is the Mandarin Oriental hotel.
