Cable Installation
As part of the installation of an offshore wind facility, a cable must be installed to bring the electricity to shore. A special cable laying ship is used. In this case, the method of installation is called jet plowing, where a high pressure stream of water is used to suspend sediments in a channel. The cable is laid into the trench of suspended sediment. The sediment settles in on top of the cable, thus burying it. The cable is brought to shore and connected to the grid.

Me at the slalom practice at Kosice cable park.
This picture is made by professional photographer Matus Rendek. ( www.matrendek.com ) famous for his work for snowboard&skateboard magazine Boardlife and also other European magazines. He attended for Evil Wakeboard&Wakeskate Camp in Kosice but after couple of days shooting wakers he started to be bored. Then once he came at the cable during the waterski training. He was absolutely amazed by power, energy and speed of slalom. He just grabbed his camera and run to make some pictures. I just heard him screaming: "Come on .. more... mooooree". I did some extra rounds for him. Later he told me that he thought that cable is going to break. :) I think it was worth the effort.. He did catch beauty of the slalom on his pictures.
PS: We asked RED BULL if they don't want to support Grand Pix in Kosice (They support our wakeboard kemp... thanx for that) . They say NO because they think waterski is OLD SCHOOL... maybe they just don't see this sport from right angle :)
The Cable Aéreo is a system of two lines of cable cars that are integrated into the urban public transportation system. It was inaugurated in 2009. It connects different parts of a city that features steep hills and generally a difficult terrain. The gondolas seat 6-8 people and offer a great view over the city.
These pictures were all taken at Dragon*Con 2012, which I attended with a friend of mine, Matt Refghi. While there, I hosted a few interviews, and they can be found on my blog.
Make sure to check out Matt's blog, as he has Dragon*Con related posts, interviews, and photos.
The buildings on either side are much newer. I was amazed that they kept the cable cars going throughout the construction!
Whitaker Cable is an old Kansas City company ... one of my best friends as a young girl in Northern California was a Whitaker. Her father, heir to the Whitaker fortune and company presidency, was tragically killed in an auto accident when she was still an infant.
