Cable Ingles - (here as back in April-Spain-Almeria) was built 109 years ago by a British mining company to allow mining trains to run out to sea and pour their wares straight into British ships.
This part of the structure is undergoing facelift and has no its own lighting at the moment, so long exposure of 61 sec was needed here. The works will finish in 2014,
and will turn the Cable into a massive recreational pier running out to sea, with a walkway, museum, restaurant and amusement arcade inside.
... we got on the next one ... from Kuznice in Poland.

“Cable Cafe & Snack Bar [Brixton Road near Prima Road SW9]
‘A classic, traditional Italian-owned cafe in one of South London’s grittier neighbourhoods. Black leatherette settee-style seats, worn Formica-topped tables, Formica wall-panelling. A Formica-topped counter (with pine-effect front) plus traditional glass display cabinet. Wooden slat false-ceiling. An original mosaic-tiled shop front, old Pepsi sign, net curtains and Drury tea sign. The impressive reproduction Victorian wall-mural is a feast for the eyes. Also: colour photos of Italian landscapes, signed photos of Victoria Wood, Warren Mitchell (as Alf Garnett), and one of The Bill detectives!’ (Patrick Turland)”
The cafe appears to have been closed now for a couple of years.

The Eiger Express Cable Car is a recent addition to the mountain transport in the Jungfrau region, and carries passengers from Grindelwald to Eigergletscher in 15 minutes. The previous best time would have been about an hour, on two trains via Kleine Scheidegg. I was told that only Zermatt, and Whistler of the World's ski-resorts had a cable car of this standard. Each cabin on the car holds about 30 people, and there is a cabin every couple of minutes. It is a great trip.
Cable Car #25 sits at the base of Powell Street on the opposite end of the line waiting on passengers to run over to Market & Powell.
Shortly this car will depart and the 3 cars waiting, including Val's car will move forward to have their turn on the turntable.

One of my shutter releases developed for the 'Woody' robitic panoramic heads.
This one was for my Fuji S9500 which had a shutter button threaded for an old-fashioned cable release.
Flat Lego plates with gear teeth are fixed to a sliding beam on the inside. When the wheel turns it operates another small gear inside which pushes the sliding beam along to operate the cable release. To zero it it I turn the gears until the sliding beam just touches the plunger on the release.
Never felt really safe with this one because I worried that if I got the programming wrong the beam might keep pushing after the shutter had fired. Thought this might damage the button on the camera or even pop it right off!
I suppose I could put a spacer on the plunger to limit its range of movement.
Now superseded, first by an 'electronic remote' plugged into the side of the camera - the contacts were pressed together by a cam on a Lego motor instead of by hand. That was supersede in turn by a similar system but the contacts were replaced by relays which were operated directly from the Lego brick. Saves a motor and is smaller as well as more reliable.
Mindsensors are going to supply a device which will add rotation control to the older rcx motors as well as the new power function units. These are all smaller than the Mindstorms motors so can make units like this a bit neater.
I had to take the obligatory picture of the Wellington Cable Car; I'm sure it's been done a million times, but it is a wonderful view. The weather was horribly windy with lots of rain both the day before and the day after, so we were lucky to be there on a nice day.
This view is from the Wellington Botanic Garden station at the top-end of the cable car line. Central Wellington and the harbor can be seen in the distance.
Cable Car, San Francisco, CA
The steep ups and downs of San Francisco made it difficult to use horse drawn carriages in the city. Patents of the Scottish born Andrew Hallidie transformed cable cars from mine equipment into reliable public transportation in 1873. Wagons are hauled by a continuously moving cable located underground which runs at a constant speed. A ride cost 5 cents. Property values skyrocketed along the new cable car lines. There were 8 lines covering 120 miles in the city by 1880, but cable cars were made obsolete when electric and combustion engines appeared. The city tried to eliminate the last lines in 1947 but the public of San Francisco saved them. The remains of the system were turned into a tourist attraction. The ride costs more than a nickel, but the old cars are still running.
Found in Low Fell, Gateshead. The CC trade mark on the brick is possibly for Callenders Cable & Construction Ltd, Falkirk, manufacturers of insulated cables.
