Two years ago I went back to my hometown Schuders, a small village in the Swiss Alps. A windy one-lane mountain road leads up to the village. On the way you pass the Salginatobel Bridge, a reinforced concrete arch bridge designed by Swiss civil engineer Robert Maillart. It was constructed across an alpine valley between 1929 and 1930. In 1991, it was declared an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, the thirteenth such structure and the first concrete bridge so designated.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and pulled the curves.

The Falkirk Wheel is a unique boat lift in the world. It replaces a series of 11 locks linking the canals from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The Falkirk rotary lift has a diameter of 35 metres and lowers or raises ships to a height of 25 metres. A set of double doors allows the boat to enter on one side and to leave on the other side. The wheel turns the two caissons, each weighing 300 tonnes, while the gearing system keeps them perfectly horizontal.
This old jeep, I think, in the showroom of High Country Motors in Cooma NSW. Perhaps a Willys from 1950s but hopefully some American friends can help. It must have been a vehicle from Brown and Root Utah. This company did a lot of engineering work on the Snow Mountains Scheme in Australia, such as building Tantangara Dam. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantangara_Dam
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.
I found no way to produce a b&w version without losing the complete mood, so I'm very very sorry, but I can show you only the colored version... ;)
The daffodils and blossom do their best to brighten a dull Saturday morning. Engineering on the Stour Valley Line sees GBRf's 66755 trundle through Coseley with 6G56 from Basford Hall Yard to Dudley Port.
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.
Even as the bridge approaches 90 years in service, even as thousands of photos from every angle exist, even as tourists and locals to my left and right are snapping with phones, even as this picture or something like it exists in the millions, even though its all been captured, my goal was to make more photos of this iconic feat of engineering.
As this bridge approaches 90 years in service, I think of how pioneering this was then and how graceful it still stands.
On a recent visit to San Jose we decided to head up to San Francisco to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was perfect if not a bit windy.
Carquinez Bridges, and yet another perspective of these structures. My go to spot at 4am.

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

The second room of the Classic Space Monorail Station I am currently working on. What do you think of the power generators?
The engineering marvel of Ribbleshead Viaduct pales into insignificance as darkness falls on a clear summer night.
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.

On road 1 the front end of 70013 Oliver Cromwell dominates the right foreground with the mechanical lubricator and its many copper feed pipes standing clear of the slide bars. Its boiler is now, at last, at Tyseley for repair. Who knows? Maybe 2022 will see this fine loco back in action again.
In front of Cromwell is 8F 48624 whose boiler is also away being contract repaired. Left foreground on road 2 is the chassis of 78019 and with the boiler repairs completed at Tyseley this useful engine should be back together in 2022. Another of LSLG's Class 2s is in front of the Standard; Ivatt 2-6-0 46521 which is operational.
The Avery Russell home is located in the Campbell's Station-Farrugut Community on Kingston Pike, which at one time carried all the major Knoxville to Nashville traffic. The house, a two-story brick building, built around 1835, was originally an inn and it was not until just before the Civil War that it was converted to a residence. It is reminiscent of Federal style architecture, with symmetrical fenestration and paired end chimneys. The house occupies the site where David Campbell erected a blockhouse in 1787 to protect settlers against Indian attacks. As the Indian threat decreased, Campbell's Station became an important stopping place for travelers and stock drivers. It was also one of the most important trading posts in the area. In 1822, Campbell sold all his property to Samuel Martin who built the inn (now the Avery Russell home) in 1835. In 1853, the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad by-passed Campbell's Station, thus signalling the end of the inns at Campbell's Station. Prior to the Civil War, Martin sold the inn to Avery Russell who converted it into a residence. The home has been in the Russell family since.
The house also witnessed the "battle" of Campbell's Station during the Civil War. General Burnside sought to lure General Longstreet and his Confederate troops away from Chattanooga where Grant was besieging the city. Thus, Burnside fought several skirmishes with Longstreet's troops, one of them being at Campbell's Station. The skirmish lasted the day of November 15, 1863, with Burnside's troops slipping away toward Knoxville that night. It is said the Russell home served as a hospital during the skirmish.
The home is significant in that it has "participated" in and reflects all the important historic happenings of Campbell's Station (Farragut, TN). It is also one of only a few tangible reminders left of Campbell's Station's historic past. On June 5, 1975, this home was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its significant history. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/232aea09-5585-4eca-a70...

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
The warm glow from a setting sun is reflected off the concrete spillway cells of the Murray Lock & Dam. The dam sits under the Big Dam Bridge on the Arkansas River in Little Rock. The dam & lock is part of a series of similar structures to facilitate commercial vessel navigation on the Arkansas River all the way up to Tulsa, OK.
