The Kap Shui Mun Bridge (KSMB) in Hong Kong is one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world that transports both road and railway traffic, with the upper deck used for motor vehicles and the lower deck used for both vehicles and the MTR.
It spans the Kap Shui Mun marine channel between Ma Wan and Lantau and has a vertical clearance of 47 metres (154 ft) above sea level. The bridge was completed in 1997.

The floor has a grey/blueish tone, but it helped a lot to take the pic during the blue hour.

Schnebly Hill Road is one the best back roads they have in the Sedona area and is passable on most occasions but is really rough, demanding a vehicle with lots of clearance before attempting to traverse it. For those that follow the route or take one on the many guided off road jeeps tours the reward is an elevated 6000 foot vista that captures Sedona in all its glory. Pro tip: Love her to the moon but if you are bringing the wife along make sure that you have sufficiently libated her or sedated her before attempting to drive the route or you too may only make it as far I did to take this shot.

poem by Julio Cortazar
I feel myself dying in you, overtaken by expanding
spaces, which feed on me just like hungry butterflies.
I close my eyes and I’m laid out in your memory, barely alive,
with my mouth wide open and the river of oblivion rising.
And you, patiently, with needle-nosed pliers, pul out
my teeth, my eyelashes, you strip
the clover from my voice, the shade from my desire,
you open up windows of space in my name
and blue holes in my chest
through which the summers rush out in mourning.
Transparent, sharpened, interwoven with air
I float in a drowse, and still
I say your name and wake you, anguished.
But you force yourself to forget me,
and I’m barely a bubble
reflecting you, which you’ll burst
with the blink of an eye.
C-GGDU, a Bombardier Q400, was preparing for departure from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. It was operating as JZA7968 (Jazz Aviation LP for Air Canada Express) to Montreal, Quebec. The blurred image is due to the photo being taken through the exhaust from the port engine of another Q400. The 1,815 foot / 553 metre-tall CN Tower stands in the background.

“Singapore airport goes fully passport-free with biometric clearance”
This is one step closer to the Beast system.
Matthew 3:12 “His winnowing-shovel is in His hand, and He will make a thorough clearance of His threshing-floor, gathering His wheat into the storehouse, but burning up the chaff in unquenchable fire.”

The Highland Clearances was the forced displacement of a significant number of people in the Scottish Highlands during the 18th and 19th centuries, as a result of an agricultural revolution that resulted in enclosures, largely carried out by hereditary aristocratic landowners. A Highland Clearance has been defined as “an enforced simultaneous eviction of all families living in a given area such as an entire glen”.
The clearances are particularly notorious as a result of the brutality of many evictions at short notice (year-by-year tenants had almost no protection under Scots law), and the abruptness of the change from the traditional clan system in which reciprocal obligations between the population and their leaders were well-recognized. The cumulative effect of the Clearances devastated the cultural landscape of Scotland in a way that did not happen in other areas of Britain; the effect of the Clearances was to destroy much of the Gaelic culture.
The Clearances resulted in significant emigration of Highlanders to the sea coast, the Scottish Lowlands and further afield to North America and Australasia, where today are found considerably more descendants of Highlanders than in Scotland itself.
The Clearances were a complex series of events occurring over a period of more than a hundred years
We're on top of the overpass at Roosevelt Road for this busy scene. On the left, a Winnebago in Metra's newest paint scheme waits for clearance to shove into one of the station tracks. In the foreground, a classic F40 pulls out with an outbound, and in the distance an B32-8WH switches out a single Superliner.
This is actually a film set representing Birmingham U.K. during bombing raids in the Second World War created in Little Germany, Bradford, West Yorkshire for a Netflix film called 6888. Six Triple Eight.
Just as we got to the top of Haystacks there was a brief clearance looking back towards a cloud topped High Crag
Last weekend CSX replaced the Fitchburg Secondary bridge over the Worcester Sub in Clinton, MA. The track was raised and the new bridge meets neccessary clearance requirements for doublestack trains to run below. Those trains are anticipated to begin this summer. Here we see L004 heading over the new bridge on their way to Leominster.
A southbound ATSF freight waits for clearance before entering the section of single track through Palmer Lake on the Joint line. Note the Kodachrome GP20u second in consist.
Clearance to land..

This is a support to a lamp on a lamp post, along the East Bank Esplanade along the Willamette in downtown Portland. Funny place to choose to perch. A young House Sparrow, I believe.
Extensive tree clearance work just west of Crofton has opened up this new vista. I don't think its looked like this since at least the mid 60s, possibly earlier

If you want to use this angle better hurry. All the ground level greenery is young nettle growth. Give it a month or 2 and this area is going to be inaccessible

Dudley Tunnel, the South Western end at Blowers Green. Last used in 1993. The line has been cleared with a possibility of a new Very Light Rail test track being laid, but for now it remains abandoned.
The extent of the clearance work over the last 12 months can be seen by comparing this shot from September 2015:
For $20 at a Gamestop I couldn't pass this guy up again (after passing on one on clearance at Target). Hope everyone is having a stellar Thanksgiving!
A session of tree clearance around here has opened up this view, which was lost over 20 years ago. Next, the pallisade will go up !! 66767 is in Addingford Cutting (once a tunnel) with another load of biomass from Liverpool to Drax power station.
Found along northeastern Australia from Mackay to Cooktown, the Cairns Birdwing is Australia’s largest endemic butterfly. The females’ wingspan can measure a whopping 18cm, and they’re easily recognized thanks to their vivid coloration. I think their highly adapted lifecycle is their most fascinating attribute.
Male Cairns Birdwing Butterflies are smaller, but more colourful than the females. They are fussy butterflies who lay eggs on native rainforest Pipe Vines (Aristolochia tagala and Pararistolochia deltantha). Females find the ideal vine using chemical receptors in their legs and abdomen to ‘sense’ tender, caterpillar-friendly leaves. Newly hatched caterpillars eat their own nutritious egg shell, and will even eat other caterpillars if times are tough. Caterpillars are brightly coloured to ward off predators, and store toxins absorbed from Pipe Vines so attackers won’t make the same mistake twice!
The Cairns Birdwing caterpillar uses bright colours and sharp spines to ward off predators.
When caterpillars are almost ready to pupate they ringbark their vine. Although leaves droop from water loss, the flow of nutrients is concentrated so the caterpillar gets a more nutritious meal before pupation. Pupation occurs in a cleverly camouflaged cocoon, which resembles a dead, dried leaf.
As soon as adult butterflies hatch the race is on to mate, as they only live for 4 – 5 weeks. Males are extremely territorial, performing early morning patrols and competing with other males to find fresh, newly hatched females. Courtship can be lengthy (up to 36 hours) and aggressive, and apparently the female slips the male a sedative to ensure he behaves himself!
The species was once under threat due to wide-scale clearance of its native rainforest habitat, and the spread of exotic vines including Dutchman’s Pipe (Aristolochia elegans). A. elegans closely resembles the native A. tagala vine, and is lethal to the butterflies in their larval stage.

These hills were once full of native Caledonian fir, now they either lie bare or covered in dense man managed spruce trees.
