Glancing back at the Fine Arts Building, now going before the Historic District Commission to have the facade saved for future development.

First responders from across the country were in Virginia Beach for a massive structural collapse training exercise hosted by the Virginia Beach Fire Department and Virginia Task Force 2. The annual School was held at the sprawling complex of crawl spaces and staged disaster zones representing different scenarios – things first responders have seen and experienced first-hand. This course gives urban search and rescue teams a chance to practice their skills. More than 160 people took part in the hands-on training lasting for 8 days with students coming from as far as San Francisco, California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.

a rare glimp of our nano bots......dey are gettin out-of-control !!
Attendees at the 2018 Annual Business meeting show their enthusiasm by shouting "I Love Structural Engineering" or "I Love Being a Structural Engineer!"
This is the site of an old clay mining operation in Golden, Colorado. Soft clay horizons occurred between hard sandstone intervals of the Laramie Formation. The beds here are vertically oriented - structural tilting occurred during the Laramide Orogeny in the Tertiary. The Laramie Formation is a nonmarine, coastal plain to deltaic succession of mostly mixed siliciclastic sedimentary rocks - sandstones, siltstones, claystones, and coals.
After clay mining ceased, the site became a landfill for ash from coal burning operations. Landfill activity buried many dinosaur footprints preserved in the Laramie Formation sandstones. The locality is now a "fossil preserve" with dinosaur footprints, plant fossils, and other features that can be closely examined along trails. An odd-looking golf course makes up the rest of the old clay mine.

Clay Mining
Since 1877, five generations of the Parfet Family have mined clay from this area. Previously operated as the Parfet Clay Pit, the ceramic and brick industry used clay from this area primarily for bricks and sewer pipe. The Governor’s mansion, East and South High Schools in Denver, and the Jefferson County Hall of Justice in Golden were built from the distinctive tan bricks.
The clay, deposited in lakes and swamps 68 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous, is part of the Laramie Formation. Uplift of the modern day Rocky Mountains some 67-55 million years ago tilted the rock strata to their near vertical position. The clay layers were excavataed as trenches, leaving the vertical fins of sandstone visible today. Trace fossils such as dinosaur tracks and leaf impressions are visible on many of the remaining sandstone walls. The pits on either side of the trail contain fossil footprints that have yet to be detailed.
Logs, wedged horizontally between the sandstone walls, served as a warning device to miners. If the walls started to give way, the miners would hear the logs creak or “sing” and move to safety.

Clay Mining
Clay from the Fossil Trace Golf Course, previously operated as the Parfet Clay Pits, has been mined for the ceramic and brick industries since 1877 by five generations of the Parfet family. The predominant uses of this clay were for brick and sewer pipe. The tan brick was used to build the Governor’s mansion, East and South High Schools in Denver and the Jefferson County Hall of Justice in Golden. The clay was deposited in small ponds and depressions about 70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period and became part of the Laramie Formation. The rock strata were tilted vertical by the uplift of the modern day Rocky Mountains to the west approximately 60-65 million years ago. Clay layers were excavated as trenches, leaving vertical fins of sandstone, which contain trace fossils. The sandstone was originally sand which was deposited when adjacent streams overflowed their banks during flood events.

Brighton is decaying. I find it sad, because the place has a particular place in my past: the first place other than home (or homes of other bits of family), to which I was taken regularly as a child. It was the nearest bit of seaside to where I was brought up, just an hour down the A23.
The ceilings are Glulam beams, and 2x8 Douglass Fit T&G. We whitewashed all the components before framing and installing. The GLB's are spaced at 4'-0". The purlins are there as a T&G nailer, and to hide the light fixture wiring.
Real Time Data Management System for geotechnical, structural, environmental risks and monitoring of slope stability during the construction of a gravity dam.
This is a structural sculpture. I got tired of moving it around and destroyed it in 2013. It was about 2'-6" x 0'-9".

Structural steel stretches across Piers 5 (in the background) and 6 (in the foreground) on November 30, 2012.
Yesterday's mail brings a Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle lens, my first new piece of equipment in a long time, and today I set out to stroll around with the beast. In early returns so far it's Lens - 1, Photographer - 0, but at least I'm putting up a fight.
This lens forces me to rethink everything, which is a welcome jolt. It's very hard to control, since it likes to pick up a huge chunk of the landscape rather than a smaller slice. I can shoot for sky and clouds, or for buildings and foreground. Both, now, that's tricky.
The new widescreen monitor just came in, too. My old monitor is pretty ancient, and was starting to do that rippling thing that old monitors do just before they sputter out and die, so it was time for a change. I'm unmoored - not only am I riding hard on the new lens, but when it comes to processing I have no idea where the true colors are yet. Fun!
I'll look back on this shot one day and shake my head, I hope. Which is sort of why I'm posting it.
Finally the weather tastes a bit like autumn. For the first time in ages and ages I wish had my jacket handy. Once the clouds roll in, the breezes turn chill, and the sun doesn't warm the way I think it might. And the sky is richest blue.
