A Southern Pacific Eugene, Oregon - West Colton, California lumber drag ascends the 2.2% grade through the Tehachapi Mountains at Cable, California. In addition to the road power, SP has assigned two sets of manned helpers to this high tonnage train.
In the background is California 58, the Barstow - Bakersfield Hwy.
The [Old] Alexandra Bridge, built in 1926 to accommodate cars using the Caribou Trail which was established during British Columbia's Gold Rush. Today it is far too narrow to handle 2 lanes of cars, or heavy vehicles, and was replaced with a new bridge in 1961. Now that bridge is under significant alterations/repairs.
How does one show the features of a bridge like this well? I decided to try a close up of the cables and girders to give some idea of it's construction, as well as how those cables were anchored into the rock.

Many thanks to all that voted. Much appreciated.
Cable television, internet and phone service (yes, landlines still are a thing) can produce a swirling mess to catch the eye.
This is the fifth photo I've posted with "curlicue" in the title; must be my twisted mind.
This custom was made because of one reason... you guys. You guys wanted Cable and Bob from Hydra, so here's Cable! Its a super simple figure, and was done in 12 hours. I used the SHIELD torso (based off of Joemark's), a clone trooper head, a sliver arm, and the ACU trooper legs. The hair was the Doctor Who hair, and I really liked it on this figure. The gun is a regular blaster with another gun attached. I think it captured Cable quite nicely, and so does Deadpool. Tell me what you think!

Cable Beach, Broome, Western Australia, is famous for its "Staircase to the moon" photographs, taken at the full moon. I can only imagine how many photographers are there at that time!
No Staircase to the moon in this photo, but a most pleasant evening spent on Cable Beach.
