Let's go back to India...:)

Known locally as "Whalley Arches", Whalley Viaduct is a 48 span railway bridge crossing the River Calder and a listed structure.

It was built between 1846 and 1850 under the engineering supervision of Terrence Wolfe Flanagan and formed part of the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway. It is a red brick arch structure and the longest and largest railway viaduct in Lancashire.[4] It carries the railway, now known as the Ribble Valley Line, 21.3m over the river for 620m.

Over 7 million bricks and 12,338 cubic metres of stone were used in construction. 3,000m of timber were used for the arch centring, temporary platforms and the permanent foundation piles. During construction on 6 October 1849, two of the 41 arches then completed collapsed, with the loss of three lives.

The east side of the bridge, nearest the remains of the Abbey, has the only decorative treatment

Late evening sunshine lighting up the Forth Bridge.

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 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.

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.

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!

Sheffield Uni Engineering Faculty building. March 2025.

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."

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

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!

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.

For the Pessimist, the glass is half empty.

For the Optimist the glass is half full.

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