The 1 mm spider seems to have made a bridge and be trying to hide in a tent under it. One wonders at the engineering skills of one so small.

After battling a massive structure fire the day before Thomaston Volunteers received a call for a structure fire in the Branch Road Condos. A fast attack by the first due engine brought a quick knockdown to the exterior fire that was spreading into the attic spaces of the condo and it's attached garage

About 16:45, a structure fire was reported at 3629 Palmdale Blvd cross of Landon Avenue, LAC131's, with smoke showing 5 miles out. LAC Engine 131 arrived on scene to find a single story, single family dwelling well involved, with a majority of the fire to the rear of the structure. In addition to Engine 131, Engines 93, 37, 92, Quint 24, Squad 131, Patrol 92 and Battalion 17 got knockdown about 12 mintues later. No injuries and cause is unknown.
Units of the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District responded a full-first alarm to a reported structure fire on Scarboro Place in San Ramon on March 17th, 2014. First due Engine 39 arrived and confirmed a working structure fire with smoke and flames showing and established Scarboro IC and requested all incoming units continue in Code 3. IC was taken over by Battalion 31 (3112) upon arrival on scene. The fire was out by the time I arrived on scene, but all apparatus (with the exception of Engine 32A) were still on scene. A second alarm was struck summoning more engines, more battalion units, and the Breathing Support Unit to the scene. Responding units included Trucks 31 and 35, Engines 34, 38, 32, 30, 39, Paramedic 39, Rescue Medic 31, Battalion 31, 3110, 3112, 3113, and Breathing Support 31.
Truck 31 is a 2006 American-LaFrance tiller truck with a 100 ft. LTI aerial ladder.
Engine 39 is a 2007 Hi-Tech EVS pumper built on a Spartan Gladiator chassis.

The sun still shines.
NORTHRIDGE - 40 firefighters found the garage (attached) of a single-family home fully involved and extinguished the fire in 13 minutes. Initial reports of a person trapped in the fire room proved to be false after a thorough search. The fire was stopped quickly before extending into the home. No reported injuries.

Sand, silt, clay and organic matter bind together to provide stucture to the soil. The individual units of structure are called peds.
Under the highway. Would never know as you cross the plain flat bridge over the Quassaick Creek that there is this amazingly beautiful structure holding you up
At 6:12PM on September 19, 2019 the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the 3900 block of W 1st St in Koreatown. Firefighters arrived to find a detached garage fully engulfed in flames. 40 firefighters took 23 minutes to fully extinguish the fire.

The Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) is one of the most recognized structures in the world. 6,719,200 people visited the tower in 2006. 240 million have visited since its construction. Including the 24m (79 antenna), the structure is 324 m (1,063 ft) high, is equivalent to about 81 levels in a conventional building, making it the tallest structure in Paris. When inauguarated on March 31, 1889, it replaced the Washington Monument as the as the world's tallest structure--a title it retained until 1930 when New York City's Chrysler Building was completed. Despite its delicate appearance, the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tons. Constructed of 18,038 joined pieces of puddled irons and 2.5 million rivets provided from the forging mills and factories of Pompey Fould-Dupont, it never sways more than 6-7 cm in the wind. Depending on the ambient temperature, the top of the tower may shift away from the sun by up to 18 cm (7 in) due to thermal expansion.
The Tower was built to the design of Gustave Eiffel, under engineers Maurice Koechlin & Emile Nouguier and architect Stepehen Sauvestre, over 2 years, 2 months and 5 days between 1887 and 1889, as the entrance arch for the Exposition Universelle of 1889 on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine. Eiffel's design was initially met with restistance by the public, who accused him, alternatively, of putting artistic ambition ahead of engineering and ignoring artistic ambition. Today, it is recognized as one of the finer pieces of structural art in the world, but its shape was actually dictated by mathematical deference to wind resistance. Eiffel had a permit for it to stand for 20 years, when ownership would revert back to the City of Paris, who planned to tear it down. Proving invaluable for communication purposes, however, it was allowed to stand beyond the permit's expiration.
Visitors may climb 328 stairs or take an elevator 57.63 meters to the first floor, and then another 340 steps or elevator 115.73 meters to the second floor. The third floor upper observation platform, at a height of 276.13 meters, is approachable by elevator. The passenger lifts from ground level to the first level are operated by cables and pulleys driven by massive water-powered pistons. As they ascend the inclined arc of the legs, the elevator cabins tilt slightly, but with a slight jolt, every few seconds in order to keep the floor nearly level. The tower has two restaurants: Altitude 95, on the first floor; and the more expensive Alain Ducasse-run Jules Verne, on the second floor.
Over the years, the tower has been used for myriad communication, symbolic and scientific purposes. In 1910, Father Theodor Wulf took observations of radiant energy at the top and bottom of the tower, discovering at the top more than was expected, and thereby detecting what are today known as cosmic rays. In 1914, the military used the tower to dispatch Parisian taxis to the front line during the First Battle of the Marne. From 1925 to 1934, illuminated signs for Citroën adorned three of the tower's four sides, making it the tallest advertising space in the world at the time. In 2000, flashing lights and four high-power searchlights were installed on the tower. Since then the light show has become a nightly event.
The light coming in through the darkened skyline was eye-catching to me. the way it was angled and lit that part of the structure really showed of the interesting composition of the architecture. just another scene that compliments the whole building.
The Tillamook Structure moves light rail track from one side of the freight tracks to the other, keeping both modes of transportation out of each other’s way.
the structure of the arch keeps coming back to me, over and over again. lt still looks unreal...
