This historic iron truss pedestrian bridge spans across Hinksey Lake, a body of water originally excavated in 1850 to supply gravel for the nearby Great Western Railway embankment.
The distinctive metallic framework carries the ancient "Devil's Backbone" footpath, a raised causeway that has linked South Hinksey village to the Oxford floodplain since at least the early 19th century.
The repeating linear lines of the metal trusses offer an excellent study in architectural perspective, beautifully juxtaposed against the soft summer greenery.
The Abraj Al-Bait Towers, also known as the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower, is a building complex in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. These towers are a part of the King Abdulaziz Endowment Project that strives to modernize the holy city in catering to the pilgrims. The complex holds several world records, the tallest clock tower in the world, the world's largest clock face and the building with the world's largest floor area. The complex's hotel tower became the second tallest building in the world in 2012, surpassed only by Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The building complex is meters away from the world's largest mosque and Islam's most sacred site, the Masjid al Haram.
I took this snap last year while the steel structure work was ongoing. This part was done by our Company (ABG). You can see two Bangladeshi labor faces in this picture. They were setting up the steel beams by the help of the Tower Crane (one of the toughest part of that subjected work). I feel to be proud that 85% of the manpower was Bangladeshi. Our brothers did this historical construction work during the month of Ramadan and the temperature of Makkah was 55 degree that Time.
