A rain wet Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park runs through the forest along McDonald Creek. Completed in 1932, the spectacular, 50 mile long Going-to-the-Sun Road bisects the park east to west. The paved two-lane highway spans the width of Glacier National Park and crosses the Continental Divide at 6,646-foot-high Logan Pass. It passes large glacial lakes and cedar forests in the lower valleys; canyons and cliffs; culminating at the windswept alpine tundra atop the pass. Scenic viewpoints and pullouts line the road offering dramatic views and photo opportunities.
The road is nationally significant for its design and monumental engineering accomplishments. The original roadbed, bridges, tunnels, culverts, retaining walls, and guard walls were built in the “NPS Rustic” style. Individually, these structures are often significant examples of period engineering and design philosophy; collectively, they comprise a vital, integral component of the road’s unique character. Most of these structures were designed to harmonize with the roadway setting by using native materials and by blending with landforms as much as possible.The Going-To-The-Sun Road is a National Historic Landmark, is included in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
An image shot at dawn, of the stunning Humber Bridge, Nr Hull, East Yorkshire, UK.
An image shot a few years ago, of the amazing Humber Bridge, spanning the River Humber between East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
The Bridge is a 2.22-kilometre (2,430 yd; 7,300 ft; 1.38 mi) single-span road suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981.
When it opened, the bridge was the longest of its type in the world; it was not surpassed until 1998, with the completion of the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, and is now the eleventh-longest.
I'd say it's the most beautiful however, low slung and graceful it is, British engineering at its very best.
I'd love a return visit....

Eight bronze statues, each twice life size, were installed on Vauxhall Bridge in 1907. A year after the bridge was completed. They represent Agriculture, Architecture, Engineering (seen here), Pottery, Education, Fine Arts, Science, and Local Government.
They were designed by F.W. Pomeroy and Alfred Drury and are mounted on the bridge's piers. Each weighs about two tons.
This steam engine is a real vintage among vintages. Made by Fowler and Company in Leeds, England in 1880, it has been perfectly restored to its former glory. This is a close up of the engine that was pulling the trailer in my previous shot.
"Wheels within wheels..." Notice that flywheel turning.
This detail of the little engine, "Wee Georgie Wood", shows how beautifully cared for it is. Precision engineering at its best, the full flowering of the industrial revolution.
It's not hard to find places of historic significance in downtown Launceston. It is Australia's third oldest city after all. But behind this modern shopfront lies a very famous local firm. No we are not in Glasgow, but the engineering firm that is based in these buildings was founded in 1892 by Scottish immigrants James Scott and John Clark.
Glasgow Engineering - 125 Years
This is in the back garden of the house we have lived in for about 40 years, and this is first time I have noticed the manufacturer's name on the manhole cover (unless I've seen it before and forgotten).
One of the most vivid memories I have from my primary school years was visiting the Dover Engineering Works with my school. It's not surprising that seeing molten iron poured from a ladle into a mould from close quarters would make a lasting impression on a child. I can still see clearly in my mind the wooden pattern they had made of our school's badge being pressed into the compacted black sandy material in the mould. The pattern was then removed and the top half of the mould filled with more compacted material was fitted. Small holes to allow the escape of burning gas were made in the material. When the molten iron was poured into the mould, sure enough, jets of flame appeared from these holes. When the mould was eventually stripped, there was the grey/silver replica of the wooden pattern.
When the company was established in 1830 it was on the outskirts of Dover in the parish of Charlton, with a supply of water from the adjacent River Dour. Charlton has since been absorbed by Dover, and the engineering works is of course gone - with the site now occupied by a supermarket.
Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Not happy with this one, but will have to do for now as I wanted a general shot of the department building and I did find the staircase interesting!
It took me a lot of patience and shots before I was able to record the struts and other structural elements in the diaphanous wings, these structures keep the two sets of wings rigid and ready for flight.
Some oddly over-engineered stairs and fencing for flats above the Old World Deli on State St. in Bellingham. Guess the builder didn't want to pay for any engineering, so just beefed it up until he said, "That ought to hold anything."
genetic engineering
could create the perfect race
could create an unknown life-force
that could us exterminate
introducing worker clone
as our subordinated slave
his expertise proficiency
will surely dig our grave
it's so tempting
will biologists resist
when he becomes the creator
will he let us exist
bionic man is jumping
through the television set
he's about to materialise
and guess who's coming next

Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) engineering inspection vehicle TC82, manufactured by Plasser, is seen crossing Borden Ave in Long Island City, Queens as it starts an inspection run back out to points east. This is clearly an unusual sight, as even other rail road employees at the adjacent facility are looking on!
Onsite Hydraulic Repair, 24/7 UK coverage. Each van is professionally kitted out with the appropriate tools for removal, manufacture and refitting of hydraulic hose assemblies accompanied by stock to ensure that 99% of jos are carried out there and then.
Hope the quality has kept on this shot. Having to upload if off my phone via all sorts of weird methods thanks to some pikey stealing the wires down at the Internet exchange place leaving me with no Internet.
UP 2666 and another Tier 4 ET44AH lead northbound UP Engineering Special PJCPR2 through Villa Grove after a heck of a rainstorm. Luckily, its late departure out of Jefferson City, MO allowed me to get a shot of it after work.
The engineering marvel of Ribbleshead Viaduct pales into insignificance as darkness falls on a clear summer night.
After photographing the rather ruffled female Blackbird (The previous Image), I continued to climb high above the Wellington Rose Gardens.
So it was with some relief that I spotted this little engineering masterpiece; it was a good excuse for another breather!!!
Continue to take care, keep smiling, and stay well Folks - and thanks so much for visiting my Site and for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment. It's always nice to hear from you...!

For the Optimist the glass is half full.
For the Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Seddon Atkinson recovery vehicle
Chambers Engineering, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire
Buckingham, 12 January 2023
Great to see Chambers Engineering's unique self-built Seddon Atkinson again about 18 months since my last sighting, and quite surreal that something like this is still on the road in 2023. It was built in the late 1970s as an apprentice project using the front of a damaged Seddon Atkinson 400 mated to the rear bogie of an even older Seddon and bespoke recovery gear, and later fitted with the last new 3-11 cab made by Motor Panels.
