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.
'This is the Brooklyn Bridge! I took this shot while walking across the bridge.
IF you had difficulties finding this photo, and my other recent ones, it is because Flickr's Activity Feed is not functioning for many of us. They are aware of the problem and say they are working to fix it. In the meantime please stop by to check on my status. Thank you.
This is Engineering on a Small Scale..........it was by my nephew Stephen who is suffering from Parkinson's disease................
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.
Carquinez Bridges, and yet another perspective of these structures. My go to spot at 4am.
Shot with the tack sharp Nikon 70-200 f/4. Thanks for looking.

i've taken several photos of this church. see two other compositions in the comment boxes below:
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

Yeah i love my green lotus! What i tried to do in this picture was create the sort of picture you would see in a magazine, maybe with some text beside it endorsing lotus's engineering skills. I don't know, but i hope you enjoy!
The flood arches at Lea Marston feature heavily in this shot constructed by the Midland Railway in 1908 for the Whitacre cut off line as 220030 zips by with 1V44 Leeds to Plymouth; 52 late at this point making up 9 minutes before its destination.
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.
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...!
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.

Standing outside this century old barn, I looked up to see an aircraft flying overhead and thought of how far we'd come. The barn featured a unique swing beam construction that allowed a team of horses, hitched to a wagon, to turn around without having to back up. Horses apparently don't like to walk backwards so this made life easier for farmer and animal alike. When you compare that marvel of practical engineering to the complexity of the plane, it seems there are no limits to what we can accomplish.
The Rhine Valley has a lot of steep rocky cliffs rising straight up from the river. That hasn't stopped roads and railways being built along the valley, such as this spectacular Autobahn wrapped around a cliff at Pellenz. It contrasts strongly with the small building that I suspect is several hundred years older.

Study in Monochrome of the bridges crossing the river Forth in Scotland.
The New Queensferry crossing, the original road bridge, and the world heritage rail bridge.
As seen at the Railway Museum in Utrecht, The Netherlands. These tools were used to build the first steam train in The Netherlands...
My second entry in this months competition on Bridges.
Had a few days away in Bristol so couldn't really visit without seeing and taking an image of the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge.
It spans the river Avon and has a remarkable history which is well worth reading about.
The original design was of Isambard Kingdom Brunel .
Spanning over 702 ft and 249ft above the Avon it had the longest span of any bridge in the world at the time of its construction.
Thank you for viewing and any comments

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

I rarely see shots of the new Engineering Building at BYU in snowy conditions. I captured this picture for future reference.
