John "JC" Carver, a payload integration engineer with NASA Kennedy Space Center's Test and Operations Support Contract, uses a FluorPen to measure the chlorophyll fluorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana plants inside the growth chamber of the Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) Flight Unit No. 1. Half the plants were then harvested.
The harvest is part of an ongoing verification test of the APH unit, which is located inside the International Space Station Environmental Simulator in Kennedy's Space Station Processing Facility. The APH undergoing testing at Kennedy is identical to one on the station and uses red, green and broad-spectrum white LED lights to grow plants in an environmentally controlled chamber. The seeds grown during the verification test will be grown on the station to help scientists understand how these plants adapt to spaceflight. Photo credit: NASA/Leif Heimbold

20 September 2017. A member of the Foreign Office's Rapid Deployment Team talks to airport staff during a humanitarian needs assessment mission to Dominica. The Caribbean island of Dominica was devasted by the category 5 Hurricane Maria on Sept 19th, and the Prime Minister of the country, Roosevelt Skerrit requested emergency international asssitance. The UK already had military aircraft in the region responding to the damaged caused by Hurricane Irma. A Chinook helicopter from 27 Squadron RAF was tasked to take a needs assessment team to the island, made up of expert Royal Engineers, humanitarian experts from DFID and the UN, and members of the Caribbean Disasters & Emergencies Management Agency. The team was the first international assistance to arrive on the island at Douglas Charles airport, which was cut-off by the storm.

The engineer (pilot in India) is amused at my fascination for his battered work horse and gives me a wide grin. Unfortunately, I could not time it to frame his face squarely in the locomotive window. (I told you I'm not a pro and do make mistakes, didn't I?) The engine is a General Electric Universal Series locomotive of which the PNR has 14 in operation. (from Wikipaedia).

Nineteen “future engineers” from Girl Scouts Troops 50303 and 51085 recently visited College of DuPage to take part in activities promoting engineering. Guided by members of the Society for Women Engineers (SWE) chapter at College of DuPage, the scouts constructed model bridges, made balloon-powered cars and learned about the effect of drag on projectiles. Organized by the SWE College of DuPage Chapter President Samantha Dando, this event was designed to introduce the girls to the hands-on problem solving aspects of engineering and provide them with information on what it means to be an engineer. The SWE is an international organization that encourages an inclusive environment in engineering disciplines to help women achieve their full potential in engineering careers.

A soldier serving with the Kenyan Contingent of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) walks past a soldier of the Somali National Army (SNA) in the southern Somali port city of Kismayo, during a security sweep of a former police station by a team of AMISOM engineers for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) 03 October 2012. The Al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab withdrew from the city on 02 October after AMISOM troops, Somali National Army (SNA) forces and the pro-government Ras Kimboni Brigade entered and captured Kismayo without a fight. During their security sweep, AMISOM engineers found one device planted in the perimeter wall next to the entrance, which was destroyed by a controlled explosion. AU-UN IST PHOTO / STUART PRICE.

"Date: 1910–14. Artist: Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer (French, Algiers 1865–1953 Le Vésinet). Medium: Carved walnut and amaranth.
This dining room comes from the Paris apartment of the engineer Auguste Rateau. The project was overseen by Lévy-Dhurmer, a ceramist who turned to painting and decorating. Each room was conceived according to a unified theme, in this case wisteria, a symbol of welcome. Lévy-Dhurmer entrusted the execution of his designs to a number of highly skilled makers. The woodwork and furniture were made by Édouard-Louis Collet, who covered the door and wall panels with perfectly book-matched quartered walnut veneer inlaid with purplish amaranth wood representing clusters of wisteria blossoms. The embossed leather chair upholstery was supplied by M. Leroy-Desrivières. The wool carpet was woven at the centuries-old Manufacture des Gobelins in Paris. The bronze-and-alabaster standing lamps were made by Falize Frères, a renowned Paris firm that produced high-end metalwork and jewelry. The fireplace surround was handworked by the metalsmith Jean Dunand." - info from the Met.
"The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially "the Met", is the largest art museum in the Americas. Its permanent collection contains over two million works, divided among 17 curatorial departments. The main building at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is by area one of the world's largest art museums. A much smaller second location, The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, contains an extensive collection of art, architecture, and artifacts from medieval Europe.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 with its mission to bring art and art education to the American people. The museum's permanent collection consists of works of art from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt, paintings, and sculptures from nearly all the European masters, and an extensive collection of American and modern art. The Met maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine, and Islamic art. The museum is home to encyclopedic collections of musical instruments, costumes, and accessories, as well as antique weapons and armor from around the world. Several notable interiors, ranging from 1st-century Rome through modern American design, are installed in its galleries.
The Fifth Avenue building opened on March 30, 1880. In 2021, despite the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, the museum attracted 1,958,000 visitors, ranking fourth on the list of most-visited art museums in the world.

The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Students traveling from high schools throughout the Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe footprint descended on Wiesbaden, Germany for the fourth annual, weeklong STEMposium. The 2014 event theme, "Confront Disaster… Engage Your Mind… Save the World,” challenged students to come together and apply science, technology, engineering and math concepts to solve real-world problems. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District hosted 36 STEMposium students at district headquarters and the Consolidated Intelligence Center project site on Clay Kaserne. USACE volunteers including Lt. Col. Robert Hailey, a USACE planner, and members of the Forward Engineer Support Team, deployed to Liberia, presented information on the construction of Ebola treatment units in Africa. Students were able to review U.S. Agency for International Development plans for ETUs and photographs of completed units constructed in support of Operation United Assistance. Afterwards, students toured an active USACE construction site, learned about the history of concrete and mixed a batch of concrete — the most widely used construction material in the world. Volunteers from USACE’s Wiesbaden Resident Office included Zach Kluckowski, Ivan Terran, Jose LaTorre, and members of the CIC project team included Jason Redeen, Kevin Raposa, Austin Eidson, and Katie Archer.
