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)
This is the Smith Interpretive Center / Greenhouse. It originally was administrative offices and laboratory/greenhouse.
Now it serves its special function as an interpretive center and a greenhouse.
"Crude masonry and rustication characterize the initial architecture at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. The Smith Building, the arboretum’s original visitor center and administration building, designed by Thompson and built by local contractor and mason Jack Davey in 1925–1926, is sited on the canyon floor. The rustic edifice, composed of locally quarried rhyolite, originally featured lichen-covered interior walls and flagstone floors. The 6,500-square-foot space contained offices, laboratories, a library, a herbarium, a seed room, a photography studio, supply rooms, and a fireproof vault; a soft-water cistern filled the basement. Flanking the structure are two attached greenhouses that display indigenous and exotic cacti and succulents. Measuring 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, the prefabricated iron-frame and glazed structures were supplied by the Lord and Burnham Company of New York."

I haven't been here since I was a child. I consider it more of a walk rather than a hike. But it is incredibly interesting. Especially for photography. My Grandfather - Joseph Harris - was the Superintendent of Col. Thompson's Miami Inspiration Mines.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyce_Thompson_Arboretum
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest and largest botanical garden in the state of Arizona. It is one of the oldest botanical institutions west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and “living museum”, the arboretum is located in the Sonoran Desert on 392 acres (159 ha) along Queen Creek and beneath the towering volcanic remnant, Picketpost Mountain. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is on U.S. Highway 60, an hour's drive east from Phoenix and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Superior, Arizona.
The arboretum was founded by William Boyce Thompson (1869-1930), a mining engineer who made his fortune in the copper mining industry. He was the founder and first president of Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company at Globe-Miami, Arizona and Magma Copper Company in Superior, Arizona. In the early 1920s, Thompson, enamored with the landscape around Superior, built a winter home overlooking Queen Creek. Also in the 1920s, as his fortunes grew, he created and financed the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Yonkers, New York (now at Cornell University), and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum on the property of the Picket Post House, west of Superior.
Boyce Thompson wrote: “I have in mind far more than mere botanical propagation. I hope to benefit the State and the Southwest by the addition of new products. A plant collection will be assembled which will be of interest not only to the nature lover and the plant student, but which will stress the practical side, as well to see if we cannot make these mesas, hillsides, and canyons far more productive and of more benefit to mankind. We will bring together and study the plants of the desert countries, find out their uses, and make them available to the people. It is a big job, but we will build here the most beautiful, and at the same time the most useful garden of its kind in the world.”[3]

Winter presents all kinds of interesting challenges as a photographer. The cold, snow, and ice all provide risks and rewards. I decided to brave those elements recently and hiked through a foot of powder to the top of a ridge near Durango, Colorado. My reward was quite special. The last light of the day kissed the top of 12,968 ft. Engineer Mountain while the soft pink light at the end of the day illuminated the snow below in Animas Valley.
This beautiful swinging bench was built by he graduating class of 2010 at Hanover College which was founded in 1827. This beautiful college has only had one major tornado in it's history. The grounds, buildings and landscaping were magnificent. It is written that Texan Woody Harrelson graduated from this college as did Indiana's Mike Pence. Both chose different paths from the same school.

the universe is built from simple things.
a single thread, drawn from nothing.
a patient waiting. a precise geometry.
from this, a world is spun.
a map of forces, a trap for the unwary,
a fragile, shimmering home.
it is the work of a silent engineer,
drawing a new reality
out of the darkness.
Walking the terraced face of Toyon Canyon Landfill in Griffith Park yesterday. The entire canyon was a dump site for Los Angeles garbage from 1957 to 1985. 30,700,000 cubic yards of trash is buried here; an estimated 16,000,000 tons. The terraced face is engineered like a 500 foot high dam. There are 200 gas wells collecting methane which is used to operate a power generation facility. Other pipes and ducts manage wastewater which must be filtered and treated before channeled into the concrete canyon of the nearby Los Angeles river. The grass is green this time of year.

Having a very short stint on the Engineers,69001"Mayflower" passes Worting Junction on 23/Aug/24 with 6Y42 14.13 Hoo Jnct. to Eastleigh engineers.
This old Bulldozer has been on display for many years in front of The Alabama Army National Guard's
877th Engineer Battalion, In Hamilton, Alabama. which has five units totaling about 500 soldiers.
In case you don’t know what they do, they are construction workers with guns. They build roads, towers, airstrips, housing, you name it. So it is easy to guess they are there before most other soldiers.
Also they are the first called when there is a disaster at home. After all, they got the heavy equipment…….and guns.
They tore down the old Armory some years ago, but they are still based here.
Some one asked me years ago why we got a old dozer when so many Armory’s got Tanks, Helicopters , jet planes and other cool stuff, so I had to tell them what I just told you. I do wish we had one of those monster dozers or a big six by six(truck) but this is it.
On a personal note. I have a second cousin who is in this Battalion, or was, I don’t really know him, But he has been to Iraq twice. And I do know, his Parents where not happy with him for volunteering to go to Afghanistan.
He is home safe now, I salute him.

OMFG. FINALLY DONE. I planned to give him an AKS but ended up with a PP-2000 because my Ak shipment went missing XD
The partizan is, supposed to break the stereotypical Dark green base , which is the Gorka Summer Uniform, this ( brown base) is the Gorka Autumn Uniform, which appears in-game as Premium Camo 1. The vest is supposed to be the M37 Tarzan with some AR mags and utility pouches thrown on them! ( Totally from Jon)
The gloves are sculpted to look like what I get when I search "RUSSIAN MILITARY GLOVES" on google images XD.
The gasmask, vest, pouches and boots are completely sculpted, but the light makes the gas mask looks like shit, but it looks 10 times better irl.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially 2 weeks of hard work. Especially the C4s which you can see on the left.
Thanks to Joel and Jon for the advice!
And I won't be uploading as frequently nowadays as I don't really have time to work on customs cuz it's my streaming year, exams bruh,
And note: Moar ppl will be tagged in this pic because I really want advice on the camo before I move on to other RU classes!
-Enjoy! And holeh moleh. 6 moar followers to 300?

Engineer Pass is a beautiful drive. The first 7 miles on the Ouray side is really rough. This is where he gets easy. This is highway driving in the mountains. This is unusual for the road to be this wide, but it's a nice relaxing drive.
An easier way to get to the to the top of Engineer Pass is to go to Animas forks and take the North Cutoff road that bypasses the rougher sections of Engineer.
Bruno Gernt was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1851. He first emigrated to England, but, by the 1870's, he was in Michigan. Gernt helped in provide financing to people buying land in Allardt and recruited emigrants from Germany. He began working with M.H. Allardt, for whom the town was named, but he later joined with Alexander Stephens after Allardt's death. Stephens worked in their Cincinnati office, while Gernt was responsible for the office in the new community of Allardt. The Gernt Office, seen here, was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & B for its local significance in commerce and for its association with Bruno Gernt, who used the office to manage the land sales that were responsible for the development of Allardt. It has continued to be used by family members as a business office for many years. Hugo & Arthur, Bruno's sons, were involved in the lumber industry and were pioneers in the oil industry during the early 1900's. They helped to organize mining interests in the Davidson-Wilder area of Fentress County and operated a store there. Since 1956, the office has been used by the Estate of Bruno Gernt, Inc. to manage their land, timber, and natural resources. The office is one of the few intact commercial buildings in the community and retains a high degree of integrity from its original construction. Two other commercial buildings are located in the Youngs Historic District area of Allardt, but many of the stores or hotels in the town are no longer extant or are in unsound condition. This office building was added to the NRHP on July 3, 1991 and all information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, on Dec. 5 deliberately pushed the world’s largest rocket fuel tank beyond its design limits to really understand its breaking point. The test version of the Space Launch System rocket’s liquid hydrogen tank withstood more than 260% of expected flight loads over five hours before engineers detected a buckling point, which then ruptured. Engineers concluded the test at approximately 11 p.m.
The test version of the tank aced earlier tests, withstanding forces expected at engine thrust levels planned for Artemis lunar missions, showing no signs of cracks, buckling or breaking. The test on Dec. 5 -- conducted using a combination of gaseous nitrogen for pressurization and hydraulics for loads -- pushed the tank to the limits by exposing it to higher forces that caused it to break as engineers predicted.
