I've seen photographers shoot below the West Pier in Whitby before, shooting towards the costline, but upon turning around I thought that this view was also worth of a shot. Looks a bit like a boxing ring, don't you think!?
Renovation of the Civil Engineering building, located on the old Val-Benoît Campus in Liège. This is the place where I studied, some 25 years ago. It was a great experience to re-discover the place once entirely redesigned...
The architects, Arlette Baumans and Bernard Deffet, have really done a great interpretation of the building, transforming it while keeping the strength of its structure..
A shot across the Millennium Bridge towards the London Eye at the tail-end of a days photowalk in London. In the shadows at the bottom is the Millennium Bridge, dwarfed by the modern office blocks. Canon EOS 6D & Canon EF 80-200mm f/2.8L
Trying to stay out of the Cycle lane took a bit of effort. With the passage barely wide enough to handle the pedestrians, the cyclists had to frequently stop and dodge people not paying attention.
Brooklyn Bridge looks really good for 135 years old.

From the Petrusse valley you look from below at the imposing Passerelle bridge in Luxembourg city. The miracle of destruction is one of the landmarks of Luxembourg. In 2018 I had the chance to see the iconic viaduct.
Another photograph of a Forth Bridge in the fog.
We're all hoping that this bridge is more reliable than the present structure.
I was hearing the other day that the Golden Gate Bridge (now 78 years old) has only been closed for a period measurable in hours during it's entire history.
Ogden Point Breakwater
Sunset at the Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria, BC.
Completed in 1916, the breakwater is a 762-metre (2,500-foot) long granite and concrete wall. Over one million cubic yards of locally-quarried rock was dropped into deep water (up to 27 m [90 ft.]) to support the breakwater’s main structure of more than 10,000 granite blocks. Each block, quarried on nearby Hardy Island, weighing up to 15 tons was stacked in a nine course pyramid. Attesting to the sound engineering and meticulous construction, the breakwater has not required any major upgrades since it was built, and only 136 blocks have ever required repositioning over the intervening years.
In 2001 the breakwater and its protected docks were named a National Historic Civil Engineering Site.
In 2009, to honour the traditions and history of the Salish Nations, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) sponsored phase I and II of the Unity Wall Mural, a project that transforms the breakwater into an enormous canvas upon which established First Nations artists, and the young artists they mentor, share their stories with the world. In 2013, the GVHA also sponsored the creation of the mural’s third phase and the painting of related designs along the outer breakwater.

Wedged between the Blackfriars bridge and the present Blackfriars railway bridge, a little London history.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, colour on the canal!!
It was a busy afternoon at the Aqueduct.
We went across on a boat, but delayed a little as lots of boats trying to access both ways
Costing 12 million it will provide a pedestrian link between Hull City Centre and Hull Marina...Weighing 150 tonnes it will span the A63 which is one of Hulls busiest roads..It is due to be opened and in use by Spring.
Parts On The Fullagar Engine
Napier Faraday Centre
Ahuriri / Aotearoa
Only A Few Fullagar Engines Remain, With One Notable Example Operating At The Napier Faraday Museum In New Zealand.
Behind me is the Tate Modern Gallery and I had been to a Picasso Exhibition there and decided to take a few photos of the local area too.
Millennium Bridge To St Paul's Cathedral in London.
Another of my over one hundred photos of St Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Footbridge over the river Thames in London.
The bridge links Bankside to "The City" of London and has a beautiful view of St Paul's Cathedral as you cross northward. This photo was taken with my Canon Camera at high tide on the Thames. If you have seen the Harry Potter Films you would have seen the bridge with wizards flying under and over it. I have included a link below to St Paul's wiki page for those interested in history. I love this area of London especially on a beautiful day,
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
[ Cross the stream in the sky ]
UNESCO has described this World Heritage Site as a " Masterpiece " of creative genius.
It Spans the Dee Valley in Wales, at 307m [ 1,007 ft ] long and 38m high, supported by 19 hollow masonry pillars.
It was one of the first projects to use cast iron on such a large scale, and the height of the construction was a significant engineering challenge
