"Panoramabahn" is the name of this cable car above the village of Brand.
In the centre of Brand you can first take the cable car called "Dorfbahn" and when you arrive at its end station, you can immediately get onto this one, which brings you to 1652 metres high. It was a cloudy day, but I still ienjoyed the views!
My first SLR was a Canon F1. It's a marvel of mechanical engineering. There are levers, gears and springs working in perfect timing to expose a patch of film and then advance that film to just the right spot to repeat the process on the next unexposed patch. The camera I used for this image has a marvel of a mechanical shutter that works to expose the image sensor to just the right amount of light to generate an image that can be saved to a memory card. The shutter mechanism is about the only mechanical device in the camera that directly contributes to the image. The rest of the process is a computer moving bits from the sensor to the card. There are some cameras that have no mechanical shutter. I have a little point and shoot from 2010 that uses a recording to imitate a shutter click. The computer centric nature of modern cameras means that batteries must be kept charged. Therefore, everywhere I have a computer there is not only a rat's nest of wires that go with the computer but as here a dangling mass of USB cables of various design for the battery chargers and power bricks necessary to keep everything going. This image is sixty-five mm across. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.
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.

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.

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.
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!
I don't think there is a more cliche shot that you can take at Cable Beach than this.
An absolutely amazing place.
