Back in downtown Launceston again. This time we're on the corner of St John and Cimitiere Street. We can see the spire of St Andrews Church at the top of the hill, and in front of that is the Town Hall. To the right of the Victorian building (in which the City Council Offices are located) here on the corner is the main city police station. The lines and light and shade made this a very interesting shot to compose.

The Riverside Drive Viaduct, built in 1900 by the US City of New York, was constructed to connect an important system of drives in Upper Manhattan by creating a high-level boulevard extension of Riverside Drive over the barrier of Manhattanville Valley to the former Boulevard Lafayette in Washington Heights.

 

F. Stuart Williamson was the chief engineer for the municipal project, which constituted a feat of engineering technology. Despite the viaduct's important utilitarian role as a highway, the structure was also a strong symbol of civic pride, inspired by America’s late 19th-century City Beautiful movement. The viaduct’s original roadway, wide pedestrian walks and overall design were sumptuously ornamented, creating a prime example of public works that married form and function. An issue of the Scientific American magazine in 1900 remarked that the Riverside Drive Viaduct's completion afforded New Yorkers “a continuous drive of ten miles along the picturesque banks of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers.”[1]

 

The elevated steel highway of the viaduct extends above Twelfth Avenue from 127th Street (now Tiemann Place) to 135th Street and is shouldered by masonry approaches. The viaduct proper was made of open hearth medium steel, comprising twenty-six spans, or bays, whose hypnotic repetition is much appreciated from underneath at street level. The south and north approaches are of rock-faced Mohawk Valley, N.Y., limestone with Maine granite trimmings, the face work being of coursed ashlar. The girders over Manhattan Explore - #40

 

Street (now 125th Street) were the largest ever built at the time. The broad plaza effect of the south approach was designed to impart deliberate grandeur to the natural terminus of much of Riverside Drive’s traffic as well as to give full advantage to the vista overlooking the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades to the west.

 

The viaduct underwent a two-year long reconstruction in 1961 and another in 1987. (source: Wikipedia)

Honda Civic in Bonn, Germany.

Had done 86k miles at its last MoT, a healthy 12,000 up on the previous year. Inevitably it's had some failures on corrosion, but its owner seems keen to keep it going.

It's nice to be out and about in Wellington again in Level 1 lockdown.

Walthamstow Town Hall was built between 1938-42 in an Art Deco style, to a design by architect Philip Dalton Hepworth. It is now the head office of Waltham Forest Borough Council.

An evening walk round an almost deserted town due to the World Cup on TV with England v Tunisia, was very pleasant. Southend Civic Centre on a sunny evening.

First Milky Way shot of the Year taken today just past 2am on my way home from icy damp night out.

A southbound Metrorail Orange Line train led by Hitachi Metro Rail car no. 351 is seen between Santa Clara and Civic Center stations in the Allapattah neighborhood of Miami.

I see this scruffy looking Civic around town a lot. This time I found it sat next to a 90's Civic CRX. Shows that car design has gone from characterful to bland in under 20 years.

You may notice the wheels on the left side are gold coloured while the wheels on the other side are still black.
