Cable beach is famous for its sunsets, not sunrises, but since I was in the pub for the former, a shot of a still fairly impressive example of the later will have to do.
Read more about the sunsets and moon-rises on my blog.

The gripman, a cable car's driver.
Being a gripman, said Wikipedia, is a "highly skilled job." A gripman must "smoothly operate the grip lever to grip and release the cable, release the grip at certain points to coast the vehicle over crossing cables or places where the cable does not follow the tracks, and to anticipate well in advance possible collisions with other traffic that may not understand the limitations of a cable car. Being a gripman requires great upper body strength needed for the grip and brakes, as well as good hand-eye coordination and balance."
And he's also got to be good at ringing the bell.

Coming home after dinner, I was able to finally hop on a cable car and hang off the edge. Here's my operator, hardly phased by the flash in his face.
The super quick bikes with electronic gears and hydraulic hoses concealed within the handlebars and frame are so much neater than what you can achieve with wired controls. This isn't too bad a configuration and keeps the cables out of harms way and out of the wind. Using electrical shrink wrap tubing has enabled me to create stops and padding outside of the cables to keep things in place as they exit the bars and enter the frame. The front brake cable takes a torturous route through the steerer column to actuate the front brake caliper which is concealed within the fork blades. You need a lot of patience and fiddling about to make that work succesfully.
An overshoot grist mill was built in 1868 by John P. Cable.
John P. Cable built his grist mill in Cades Cove. He was a descendent of Peter Cable, a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer who had arrived in the area in the 1820s and designed an elaborate system to drain the swampy lands located in the western part of the cove.
John Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use an overshot water wheel, a gravity wheel which harnesses the force of gravity acting vertically on the water as it travels from the top to the bottom of the wheel. Cable Mill's power was supplied by Mill Creek, although a connecting channel was dug to Forge Creek so the mill could tap both streams when water levels were low.
Cable Mill took double advantage of its waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. This revolutionized the way homes were built in the cove, as people switched from using logs to lumber and frame construction. The Gregg Cable house still stands as an example of a frame built house in Cades Cove.

The very thick 40 m long cables each weigh in at close to 45 tons.
The Montjuïc Cable Car (Spanish: Teleférico de Montjuïc, Catalan: Telefèric de Montjuïc) is a gondola lift in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The cable car runs from a lower terminus adjacent to the Montjuïc Park upper station of the Montjuïc funicular, and climbs higher up the Montjuïc hill to a terminal near the Montjuïc Castle on the summit of the hill. At its midpoint, the line executes a 90 degree turn and the cabins pass through Mirador station, although only down-bound cabins stop at this point.
The cable car was originally put into service in 1970, replacing a former upper stage of the Montjuïc funicular. As built, it used a fleet of open cars. It was closed between October 2004 and May 2007, for a complete overhaul in order to increase capacity. At the same time the open cars were replaced by 55 new closed cabins.
The cable car line is 752 m (2,467 ft) in length, and climbs a vertical distance of 84.55 m (277.4 ft) at a speed of 5 m/s (16 ft/s). The cars slow to a crawl as they pass through the station to allow passengers to board or exit. Two cars are equipped with the facility to carry wheelchairs. The line is operated by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) but, unlike the Montjuïc funicular, it is not part of Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) integrated fare network. Separate tickets must be purchased prior to boarding.
Custom-made Okonite electrical cables were pulled through individual conduits from the south vault area seen here, under the Coquille River and floodplain to the north vaults near North Bank Lane. In this photo the three cables have already been installed in the west vault and the first cable is being positioned for pulling through the east vault.
