This is the Wilkes-Barre Connecting RR bridge, known as "The Gauntlet" on Norfolk Southern's Sunbury Line. It has this interesting concrete structure on the Kingston side of the bridge. It's the only one like it, and it has "1949" in the concrete on the top. Does anyone know what this is? I know there have been several bridges at this spot. If it's an old bridge support, why was the top part added in 1949? Please leave a comment if you have ideas or info.
A Grandt Line Porter locomotive spots a car at the tipple on Russ Reinberg's On30 layout. It will come as no surprise that most of the structures on the layout are scratch-built, considering that Russ is publisher and editor of the Fine Scale Annuals.

On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 6:26 p.m., the LAFD responded to a reported structure fire at 327 E. Boyd St. in downtown Los Angeles. The first companies arrived on scene within four minutes to find a one-story commercial building with smoke showing. The businesses were not open at the time and firefighters had to force entry with power saws to make access.
They immediately initiated an aggressive interior fire attack with hose lines, and a truck company was sent to the roof to perform vertical ventilation. As firefighting operations continued, the firefighters encountered increased pressurized smoke and heard a rumbling high-pitched sound. Firefighters identified the changing conditions and immediately started exiting the building and the roof as the situation rapidly deteriorated.
Shortly thereafter, a significant explosion created a massive fireball that enveloped the firefighters descending from the roof via an aerial ladder. The searing heat melted helmets, burned through protective coats and hoods and blistered and charred nearby fire apparatus.
A MAYDAY was immediately broadcast over the radio and treatment began on the 11 firefighters that had been caught in the inferno. All of the injured were working at Fire Station 9 on Skid Row, one of the nation’s busiest. Dozens of additional fire and ambulance resources were dispatched to the scene to assist with medical treatment and fire suppression as the blaze continued to spread.
All 11 firefighters were rapidly transported to LAC+USC Medical Center for treatment. A 12th firefighter was later treated and released at the hospital for a minor extremity injury. All 11 burned firefighters were admitted to the hospital with injuries of varying severity. Thankfully, all are expected to survive and as of the morning of Saturday, May 17, three had already been released from the hospital.
At the peak of the incident, more than 230 LAFD firefighters were on scene and the Major Emergency blaze was declared extinguished at 8:08 p.m., one hour and 42 minutes after it was reported. LAFD Arson investigators are working in conjunction with their law enforcement partners to investigate the cause and origin of the fire, as well as the nature of the business at the incident address.

La cosiddetta torre pendente di Pisa (chiamata semplicemente torre pendente o torre di Pisa) è il campanile della Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, nella celeberrima Piazza dei Miracoli di cui è il monumento piĂ¹ famoso per via della caratteristica pendenza.
Si tratta di un campanile a sé stante alto circa 56 metri, costruito nell'arco di due secoli, tra il dodicesimo e il quattordicesimo. Pesante 14.453 tonnellate, vi predomina la linea curva, con giri di arcate cieche e sei piani di loggette. La sua pendenza è dovuta ad un cedimento del terreno verificatosi già nelle prime fasi della costruzione.
L'inclinazione dell'edificio attualmente misura 5° rispetto all'asse verticale. La torre di Pisa rimane in equilibrio perché la verticale che passa per il suo baricentro cade all'interno della base di appoggio.
______________________________
A torre pendente de Pisa (em italiano Torre pendente di Pisa), ou simplesmente, Torre de Pisa, Ă© um campanĂ¡rio (campanile ou campanĂ¡rio autĂ´nomo) da catedral da cidade italiana de Pisa. EstĂ¡ situada atrĂ¡s da catedral, e Ă© a terceira mais antiga estrutura na praça da Catedral de Pisa (Campo dei Miracoli), depois da catedral e do baptistĂ©rio.
Embora destinada a ficar na vertical, a torre começou a inclinar-se para Sudeste, logo apĂ³s o inĂcio da construĂ§Ă£o, em 1173, devido a uma fundaĂ§Ă£o mal construĂda e a um solo de fundaĂ§Ă£o mal compactado, que permitiu Ă fundaĂ§Ă£o ficar com assentamentos diferenciais. A torre atualmente se inclina para o sudoeste.
A altura do solo ao topo da torre Ă© de 55,86 metros no lado mais baixo e de 56,70 metros na parte mais alta. A espessura das paredes na base mede 4,09 metros e 2,48 metros no topo. Seu peso Ă© estimado em 14 500 toneladas . A torre tem 296 ou 294 degraus: o sĂ©timo andar da face Norte das escadas tem dois degraus a menos. Antes do trabalho de restauraĂ§Ă£o realizado entre 1990 e 2001, a torre estava inclinada com um Ă¢ngulo de 5.5 graus,[1][2][3] estando agora a torre inclinada em cerca de 3.99 graus.[4] Isto significa que o topo da torre estĂ¡ a uma distĂ¢ncia de 3.9m de onde ela estaria, se a torre estivesse perfeitamente na vertical

The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply the Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.
Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and loose substrate that has allowed the foundation to shift direction.
The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the low side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 4.09 m (13.42 ft) and at the top 2.48 m (8.14 ft). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees,[1][2][3] but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees.[4] This means that the top of the tower is 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from where it would stand if the tower were perfectly vertical
This unusual feature of Early Bronze Age date comprised four deep post holes surrounding a large deep central pit. The pit contained Beaker pottery giving an Early Bronze Age date but we are at present uncertain what these pits were for. They may have been to do with storage or perhaps formed a structure that was more ceremonial in nature.

The abandoned and deserted Saladi Beach Hotel in Peloponnese, Greece.
It was a hotel for nudists, closed under pressure of the church. The structure is deteriorating and crumbling into ruins. Now this place sits in decay.
Saladi Beach (sometimes spelled Salanti Beach) is located in a beautiful wide valley. There is a large and very clean pebble beach. But especially exciting is this huge abandoned complex.
Although the 8-story building complex blights the otherwise beautiful valley, the sprawling area, abandoned to decay since the mid-1980s, also offers many opportunities for exciting discovery tours up to the roof, from where you have a spectacular view of the surrounding area.

I found Structure Synth a few days and was having fun poking around until I found Sunflow, and started poking through that to make this. Math is fun.
Dancing Rabbit is located in a county that has no building codes, which gives members a great deal of leeway in deciding what to build. They do have an environmental covenant that disallows lumber, except for reclaimed lumber and locally harvested wood. Many structures utilize clay taken right out of the ground, often combined with hay bale construction.
In this particular photo, there's a converted bus dwelling in the foreground (to the left), a single family home in the middle, and a 6 bedroom hay bale building in the background.

In 1896, the Traders National Bank built the original structure at the corner of Spruce Street and Wyoming Avenue. In 1929, Traders merged with the first privately owned bank in Scranton, First National Bank, which had been incorporated in 1863. The building was renovated in 1907, and again in 1927, to meet the bank's growing demand. After the merger in 1929, the bank was again redesigned and expanded, this time by the local architectural firm Davis and Lewis. The $400,000 renovation upgraded the exterior of the building to limestone and a ten-story addition was added that included a spire, which is no longer present today. The lobby was also redone in marble, with Doric columns lining the space. Tiffany designed bronze teller cages. In 1957, the merger of First National Bank with Lackawanna Trust Company called for a three-story annex to the building. The son of Edward Lewis designed a glass and bronze facade to contrast, but in harmony and scale with his father's 1930 work.

North of the SE Tacoma St/Johnson Creek Station, the light rail tracks will travel on a structure that carries trains over the ramp connecting Tacoma Street to McLoughlin Boulevard/Hwy 99E. The concrete girders of the structure are the white lines just north of Tacoma Street in this photograph.
This 1913 structure closed on 31st October 2006, being replaced by a modern single-storey building within the same site as Inverkeithing High School.
The first recorded school buildings on this site were constructed in 1874 as a junior building. The junior building was designed by Andrew Scobie, who also designed the Bruce Street Hall, and Milesmark Primary School, both in Dunfermline, and North Queensferry Primary School.
What was latterly the main building was built in 1913 for seniors, and was designed by Glasgow architects Brydon and Robertson, who also designed Glasgow's Maternity Hospital on Rottenrow.
