This is the Harbourfront Cable Car Tower 2 just opposite Sentosa Island.
I took this with my 17-55 after collecting it from the Canon Service Center. The zoom was stuck, but it's as good as new now :)

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.

Cable Cars travel from Mt Faber Station, passing through HarbourFront Tower before it goes onwards to Sentosa.
This was taken on 1 Oct 2008 in Singapore.
In the early 1870s when John Cable built his mill at the west end of Cades Cove, it was surrounded only by his fields. Like most farmers with gristmills, Cable's milling was a part-time job. Although the mill was open foro business on specific days, customers who came at other times could ring a large bell near the mill when they wanted to call John Cable from his fields. Today Cable Mill has a visitor center plus the Gregg-Cable House and several farm buildings which were moved in from other parts of the cove.

In April 2015, she took part in the initial stages of a modern-day engineering feat - a project to lay 4600 kilometres of 100-gigabit-per-second fibre-optic cable between Nova Scotia and the UK (terminating at Brean) as part of an advanced high-speed communications link between New York and London.
Love these vintage cable cars that are being used around the Christmas market and skating rink this year.

It's always a pleasant experience to go on a ride on these cable cars.

If you liked my work, take a look at my Instagram gallery, where I share some of the things I've been doing (travels, music, lifestyle) and where I post other pictures that are not yet on Flickr as well as some edits. It would greatly help me in my photographic journey. Thanks a lot for your support.
Cable remote I made for the Canon 300D, I used an old USB cable for this one which was probably a bad idea as the cable is a little too thick/stiff, so can transmit vibration down it a little.
This one is a great example, using twin microswitches to give you the half depress functionality on the shutter button. And the Aluminium case :)
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.
You can learn more about the cable laying here: Observing Cable Laying and Particle Settlement During the Construction of the Block Island Wind Farm

A quick little project, just the thing for some instant gratification! Pity I stuffed up the cable crosses about halfway through and had to rip back about four repeats :-/
Takes a little more than half a ball, I can probably squeeze out another one if I use some coordinating yarn for the base.
This is it. The cable car. That I'm about to ride.
I feel a rice a roni commercial coming on. And the opening credits of Full House.
Can you feel the excitement?
