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.

This view shows the new building of Lancaster Bus Station in the center of the photo, with the castellated walls of Lancaster Castle towering above. The old corn warehouses, now converted for university student accommodation, are seen center right occupying the area known as Damside.
In the 18th century the area to the right of Cable Street was used for ship building, when Lancaster was a premier port on the west coast. As the River Lune silted in the late 18th century, making the passage of larger ships to St. Georges Quay difficult, a new port was built to serve Lancaster near the mouth of the Lune at Glasson.

Part of the mechanisms by which the San Francisco cable cars are pulled up those steep streets on their rails.
All the Cable Cars in San Francisco have designated stops along their respective route.
Pictured cable car stop is on the corner of Washington and Mason Streets.
The Wellington Cable Car runs from Lambton Quay (which is in the heart of Wellington's CBD) up to the suburb of Kelburn where - as you can see - there are spectacular views of central Wellington.
When viewed in Large format, you might make out a freighter approaching the Wellington wharves, an Inter-Island ferry outward bound for Picton, and an A320 plane on "finals" for Wellington Airport that is just above the "black" office block and the more distant bush-covered Miramar Peninsula...!!! (However, don't strain your eyes; the picture quality of things on or above the harbour isn't the best...!!!).
Our visitors from Vancouver Island were amazed by both the ride and the view...!

The cable car flies over the port ... I'm not very good with heights and missed the spectacular views that could be seen from such a vantage point ...
