The San Francisco cable car system is the world's last manually operated cable car system. An icon of San Francisco, the cable car system forms part of the intermodal urban transport network operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway. Of the twenty-three lines established between 1873 and 1890, three remain (one of which combines parts of two earlier lines): two routes from downtown near Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf, and a third route along California Street. While the cable cars are used to a certain extent by commuters, the vast majority of their 7 million annual passengers are tourists. The cable cars are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
With the cable car of Complexo do Alemão Slum and the north zone of the city.
The name Complexo do Alemão (German Complex) its because in the 1920s a Polish immigrant called Leonard Kaczmarkiewicz acquired the land (a rural area in that time). He was referred by locals as the German (probably because he was blond with blue eyes) and soon the area became known as Morro do Alemão (German Mount). :-)

The cable-stayed Great River Bridge allowing US Route 34 to cross the Mississippi River at Burlington, Iowa. Not to be confused with the "Good River Bridge" if that even exists.

Hacia donde uno levante la mirada, siempre veremos una gran cantidad de cables de electricidad y telefono. El robo de electricidad es muy común en los barrios de gente muy pobre. Las autoridades (cual autoridad?) no hacen nada.
Wherever one looks up, we will always see a lot of electricity and telephone cables. Theft of electricity is very common in poor neighborhoods. The authorities (which authority?) Do nothing.

Love the shapes, detailing and grimy feel of these batteries, which were current circa the early 1900s to run cable car lights and such.
The CS Resolute is a specifically designed and constructed
vessel for cable maintenance and construction making her
one of the most versatile cable ships in the industry
At 140 m in length and with DP2 capability, she can
undertake sustained cable operations in harsh weather
conditions. The vessel is permanently fitted with both a
cable burial seaplow and cable maintenance ROV and
with VSAT communications broadband connectivity
available to all on board she provides an excellent platform
for trenching, mattressing and salvage operations.

Dragonflies seem to like the support cables on the boardwalk for some reason, see them there every year on occasion. Found this slaty skimmer one day, same one in previous photo, just different POV. This was extremely under exposed, tried to salvage. Shallow DOF.
