Pensar en lo natural y lo urbano nos hace reflexionar del tiempo como destructor o constructor de ideas...............................la modernidad como sÃmbolo de destrucción o construcción.........el tiempo como algo esencial que hay que vivir y esas maneras de transitar ; en este conflicto eterno de lo bueno y lo malo,lo correcto y lo incorrecto........................
An underexposed print of the Montjuïc Cable Car, which takes you across the harbour, up to Montjuïc and the Olympic Stadium.
The photo was taken in Barcelona, in October 1998 or 1999, with a Canon Sure Shot Telemax.
3 individual boxes with a mountain of padding and packaging for 3 individual monitor cables. These cables were SECURE.
Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.

The giant wheels move the cables of MUNI's famed cable cars. From left to right, Hyde, California, Mason, and Powell are the primary streets under which the cables travel.
This is Washington/Mason cable car barn and powerhouse, which is also the home of the Cable car Museum. This should be the first stop on any transit fan's visit to San Francisco.
