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.
The Horton Water Spheroid is significant for its landmark status. Known by several nicknames including ‘Green Onion’, the ‘Mushroom’, and the ‘Water Tower’, the Horton Water Spheroid was built on a hill, and is the highest structure in Mountview. When its
construction was complete, it was painted Niagara Green, the same colour the company had used for its previous ten projects. With its height and unusual form, the Horton Water Spheroid is a highly visible landmark in Red Deer, and an important part of the city’s built environment.
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.

For a former industrial part of San Francisco, this south of Market St - SOMA - area is bustling with people. I had just come from taking photos at an outdoor food court and was about to visit an electronics store when I saw this group of people as they walked under the overhead freeway, crossed an intersection and were heading south on Harrison Street. This photo I made of the group walking in the sunlight was much easier than the previous photo opportunity in the shade under the steel and cement roadway. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50.
The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England.
Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across. The wings do not stand straight sideways, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward; Gormley did this to create "a sense of embrace". The angel like much of Gormley's other work is based on a cast of his body.
It stands on the hill of Birtley, at Low Eighton in Lamesley, overlooking the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside, and the East Coast Main Line rail route, south of the site of Team Colliery.
Work began on the project in 1994, and cost £800,000. Most of the project funding was provided by the National Lottery. The Angel was installed on 15 February 1998.
Due to its exposed location, the sculpture was built to withstand winds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Thus, foundations containing 600 tonnes (590 long tons; 660 short tons) of concrete anchor the sculpture to rock 70 feet (21 m) below. The sculpture was built at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd using COR-TEN weather-resistant steel. It was made in three parts—with the body weighing 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) and two wings weighing 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) each—then brought to its site by road. The components were transported in convoy—the body on a 48-wheel trailer—from their construction site in Hartlepool, up the A19 road to the installation site 28 miles (45 km) away; the nighttime journey took five hours and attracted large crowds.
The Angel aroused some controversy in British newspapers, at first, including a "Gateshead stop the statue" campaign, while local councillor Martin Callanan was especially strong in his opposition. However, it has since been considered to be a landmark for North East England and has been listed by one organisation as an "Icon of England". It has often been used in film and television to represent Tyneside, as are other local landmarks such as the Tyne Bridge and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The sculpture is also humorously known by some local people as the "Gateshead Flasher", because of its location and appearance
Renfrew, Inchinnan Road, Rolling Lift Bridge Over the White Cart. This Scherzer rolling lift bridge was designed and built by Sir William Arrol & Co Ltd, Engineers & Contractors, Glasgow and was completed in 1923/4.
The Tyne Bridge is a compression arch suspended-deck bridge over the River Tyne in North East England, linking Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. It was designed by the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson, who later designed the Forth Road Bridge, and was built by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough. It was officially opened on 10 October 1928 by King George V.
