The Monongahela Incline is a funicular located near the Smithfield Street Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Built by John Endres in 1870, it is the oldest continuously operating funicular in the United States. It is also one of two surviving inclines (the other is the nearby Duquesne Incline) from the original 17 passenger-carrying inclines built in Pittsburgh starting in the late 19th century. Its lower station is across the street from the Station Square shopping complex, and is easily accessible from the light rail system at the Station Square station.
The grade is a very steep 35 degrees.

The myths and magic of the Ore Mountains can be felt in the medieval Scharfenstein Castle, dating back to 1250. One of the oldest manorial residences in Saxony, continuously inhabited for more than 750 years, its authentic architecture depicts life since the medieval "primal castles."
The Castle Museum offers variety and fun for all ages. The Christmas and Toy Museum offers insights into regional Ore Mountain folk art throughout the year.
The Taylor Southgate Bridge is a continuous truss bridge that was built in 1995. It has a main span of 850 feet, and a total span of 1,850 feet. The bridge carries U.S. Route 27 across the Ohio River, connecting Newport, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. The bridge is named for the families of James Taylor, Jr. and Richard Southgate, two important early settlers of Newport. Richard was the father of William Wright Southgate, a pre-Civil War Congressman from northern Kentucky.
Not sure of the reasoning, but the 'plaque' seen in the center of the bridge above is not a historical piece of this specific bridge but rather from the bridge that this one replaced, the Cincinnati-Newport Bridge commonly known as Central Bridge, that was built in 1890 and demolished in 1992.

I apologise if I do not get around to commenting on everyone. The internet is terrible where we are camping.
Four continuous miles of Heber Valley Railroad's route through Provo Canyon runs literally along the bank of the Provo River. Maine Central 52 pulls Friday's train into Vivian Park, illuminated by a brief patch of sun between the trees. The train paused here for half an hour. Passengers were invited to step off the train and enjoy the fresh canyon air while the crew ran the GP9 to the north end of the train. At 12:45 p.m. sharp, the 'Provo Canyon Limited' departed for the 16 mile journey back to Heber City.

During August 2015, the Victoria underground line was closed between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters stations, to allow upgrading work. A bus replacement route was in operation throughout the works.
A vast amount of concrete was required and convoys of trucks were escorted in to meet deadlines. This is one of the convoys in the queue to unload at Walthamstow.
The Cathedral's ceiling (or vault) is approximately 96m or 315ft.This is the longest continuous medieval stone vault in the world. This style of vaulting is known as 'tierceron'. The round stones (or 'bosses') of the vault act as keystones locking the vaults of the cathedral in place. Exeter Cathedral has more than 400 bosses, carved with a variety of Gothic images including plants, animals, heads, figures, and coats of arms.

Literally set among the suggestive rocks of the Lucanian Dolomites , Castelmezzano , in the province of Potenza , is one of the most precious jewels of Basilicata . Its perched houses reminiscent of a crib , the rugged peaks that frame it, the small alleys and stairways that run through it offer enchanting views that truly conquer everyone and give off the perfect atmosphere for a weekend of high romance . The splendid location would be enough to make the resort an ideal destination for an extremely pleasant couple's stay , but in reality Castelmezzano has much more to offer visitors in search of a romantic atmosphere.
The emotion begins to grow already along the way when, after crossing a spectacular gorge , you find yourself walking along a tunnel dug into the rock , at the exit of which the view of the village clinging to the Lucanian Dolomites reaches straight to the heart, giving you immediately the impression of being in the right place with the right person. The shapes of the rocky peaks and their play of lights and shadows explain their evocative names, ranging from "beak of vicetta" to "lion's mouth" up to "anvil" and " golden eagle" , while the historic center with its typically medieval structure, enchants with the beauty of its houses wedged between the rocks and surmounted by roofs in sandstone slabs . Walking along the narrow alleys of the historic center and climbing the small stairways, you reach magnificent panoramic points from which to enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding landscapes , in a continuous interaction between urbanized views and natural sceneries that have earned the town the nickname of the city - nature .
Furthermore, Castelmezzano is included in the list of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy and, admiring the artistic and architectural treasures that it holds, immediately explains why. Piazza Caizzo with the splendid mother church of Santa Maria dell'Olmo is only the beginning of a magnificent itinerary dedicated to history and beauty. Walking along the main street of the town , with the Town Hall building to adorn it, you reach the ruins of the castle and, entering the streets of the center, you discover other precious buildings ranging from the elegant Palazzo Ducale to Palazzo Coiro . Going outside the town and exploring the surroundings, you will discover other enchanting surprises. The ancient mills with roofs made of local chiang chimate stone slabs dot the Caperrino valley crossed by picturesque buildings, stairways and bridges , while vestiges of distant eras peep out among the uncontaminated scenery of the Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Park .
Prince George Winyah Church is an Anglican church in Georgetown, South Carolina. Prince George Winyah is one of the oldest continuous congregations in South Carolina, and the church building is one of the oldest churches in continuous service in South Carolina. Prince George Winyah (Anglican) and Churchyard was named to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1971.
Starting in 1716, Anglican parishes were electoral and administration units in South Carolina government. Therefore, Prince George Parish and Prince George Winyah Parish can also refer to an electoral and administrative district that had the same geographic boundaries as this church.
The earliest vestry records for Prince George Winyah are January 13, 1737. A subscription campaign for a new church at Winyah was begun in 1737. This was supplemented by an import tax at the port and £1,000 from the colonial Assembly. Starting in 1740, the bricks were collected. Land was donated by William Screven, who was the first Baptist minister in Carolina, and his son Elisha Screven. Construction was begun in the mid-1750s. The cornerstone was laid in 1745.

La cascata delle Marmore si trova a pochi km di distanza da Terni: è una cascata a flusso controllato tra le più alte d'Europa, potendo contare su un dislivello complessivo di 165 m, suddiviso in tre salti (il primo, più alto, di 83 m).
Le acque della cascata sono sfruttate intensamente per la produzione di energia elettrica.
Questo fa sì che la cascata vera e propria non sia continuamente funzionante, ma per la maggior parte del tempo si riduca alle dimensioni di un torrente.
Solo in orari e periodi definiti la cascata viene fatta funzionare alla sua massima portata, dando origine ad uno spettacolo suggestivo e grandioso.

The Marmore Fall is located near the town of Terni (in the centre of Italy).
It is one of the tallest falls in Europe with the “controlled flow”: the whole difference of level is 165m, shared in three jumps (the first one is 83m).
The water of the fall is widely used for the production of electrical energy: for this reason the fall itself is not continuously working, so for the most of the time it is only a small river.
Only in scheduled days and hours the fall is being working at the maximum flow, originating in this way an impressive and magnificent sight.
Wimpole has been continuously occupied for at least 2,000 years with evidence from Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval times. It has been owned by a number of different families. The earliest maps show a four-gabled manor house surrounded by a moat.
Captain and Mrs George Bambridge first rented Wimpole in 1937 and had bought it by 1942.
The house was largely empty of contents, so they set out buying pictures and furniture to fill the house. During the war the household moved into the basements. The house itself was not requisitioned by the War Office due to lack of mains electricity and the primitive drainage and water supply.
Captain Bambridge died in 1943 as a result of a chill caught whilst out shooting. Elsie Bambridge was the only surviving child of Rudyard Kipling. She was able to use the substantial royalties from his books to refurbish the house.
Mrs Bambridge bequeathed the house to the National Trust on her death aged 80 in 1976.
A mature stand of aspen towers above the Dark Canyon trail in the Ruby Mountains near Crested Butte, Colorado. The rich warm light results from the canopy of leaves filtering the sunlight passing through it. This forest is part of the largest continuous stand of aspen in Colorado. In autumn the area provides one of the best displays of fall color, with a mosaic of clusters of green, yellow, orange, and red leaves across the landscape.
These two photos were taken successively in cameras "Continuous Mode: Hi+", which ist the fastest with 10 shots per second or so.
This is one of the few night sky images I successfully captured during our vacation in Bali. The image is a panorama of four continuous shots taken near the beach in Candidasa. Unfortunately, although light pollution was not an issue, cloudiness covered the beauty of the otherwise starry sky almost every night.
I want to take the opportunity to convey that Bali is paradisiacal. The Balinese people are a delight and island's beauty is nothing short of remarkable. Our driver/guide, Mr. Wayan Lia, made the trip even more enjoyable with his insight regarding each location as well as the Balinese customs and philosophy of life. This trip has been one of the most memorable my wife and I have taken!

Before I moved to California a decade ago, I took some time off and went on an epic road trip to some of the iconic scenic drives of New England, hoping to enjoy the perfect fall colors. It rained all week, and I missed peak colors at almost every location. My last location on the itinerary was the iconic Smugglers notch, and the plan was to drive back via the Finger Lakes region of New York. By the time I reached the town of Stowe, I was almost done with the trip. I seriously considered driving straight home because I was miserable at the continuous wet and cold conditions.
Maybe it was its higher elevation or its northern location, but at Smuggler’s Notch, I finally encountered peak fall colors in their full glory. It snapped me out of my moroseness and gave new life to my road trip. I posted many pictures from this location, but there were still a few that I never posted. This image was a bit boring in its native 3:2 aspect ratio, but with my favorite panorama crop, it was able to eliminate the boring parts and bring back the excitement of that colorful morning at the spectacular location.
No. 89 was originally built in February 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company in Kingston, Ontario, for the Grand Trunk Railway as number 1009.
The Strasburg Rail Road Company is America’s oldest short line railroad, incorporated in 1832.
Novaceta S.p.A. was an Italian company operating in the chemical-textile sector, producing continuous acetate yarn (Rayon Acetate) from cellulose triacetate derived from trees. This was a highly complex and specialised process, only achievable by a few companies in the world: Novaceta was the European (60% of the European market share in 2001) and world leader in the sector. The quality of the products was very high and appreciated by all customers. Novaceta brand Rayon Acetate was used to produce fabrics with a soft and delicate hand, silky appearance, bright and vivid colours, good breathability, hygroscopicity, antistaticity and comfort. Foulards, ties, shirts, ladies' dresses, velvets and tapestries were just some of the final products.

Coyotes are common in Winneshiek County, but seldom seen out in the open like this since there's a continuous open hunting season on them. They typically stick to heavy timber during the day, but then love can cause crazy behavior.
"When you drink water, remember its source." Chinese proverb.
There is always something fascinating in the waterfalls. Perhaps it is the continuous flow of water and its melodic sound as it falls. That water, source of life, that rushes into the void seeking to follow its way, not caring at all about the fall.
In Taiwan there are several wonderful waterfalls, and this is easily accessible from the capital. This time I planned to photograph some more, but due to the destruction caused by a typhoon months ago, the accesses were still closed.
To create the silky effect on the water I used a 10 stop neutral density filter, a tripod and a long shutter speed.

"Cuando bebas agua, recuerda la fuente." Proverbio Chino.
Hay siempre algo fascinante en las cascadas. Quizás sean el continuo fluir del agua y su melódico sonido al caer. Ese agua, fuente de vida, que se precipita al vacío buscando seguir su camino, sin importarle en absoluto la caída.
En Taiwan hay varias cascadas maravillosas, y ésta es fácilmente accesible desde la capital. Esta vez tenía pensado fotografiar alguna cascada más, pero debido a los destrozos de un tifón meses atrás, los accesos permanecían todavía cerrados.
Para realizar la fotografía con el agua sedosa usé un filtro de densidad neutra de 10 pasos, trípode y una velocidad de exposición de un par de segundos.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also called the Holocaust Memoria, is an architectural gem located in Berlin, made up of 2711 concrete blocks of various heights, all placed near each other, creating numerous passageways where visitors can walk around and enter and exit the Memorial from anywhere.
The Information Center introduces its visitors to the National Socialism led by Adolf Hitler and the extermination policies carried out between 1933 and 1945.
Visitors can step into one of the most shocking rooms, an empty hall with its walls covered with the names and dates of birth and death of the Jews locked up in the concentration camps during the Second World War. Reading the names and biographies of the victims could last over 6 years.
