Completed in 1965, Carson Engineering Center was opened for use during the 75th anniversary celebration of the University of Oklahoma. Designed to house the growing College of Engineering, the facility effectively doubled the space available for engineering programs. The building was originally called the Engineering Center, but was renamed for William H. Carson, the second dean of the College, upon his death in the early 1970’s.
Whitemoor Yard is littered with a variety of class 66 locomotives in conjunction with several weekend engineering projects taking place across East Anglia. GBRf 66761 is nearest to the camera, ready to lead a long welded rail train to Barking, while Freightliner 66515 heads a rake of Autoballasters bound for Lea Junction. Note two other Freightliner consists to the left of the image, including the newly repainted 66501. (Photo taken with drone)
Joseph Adamson and Co at Hyde were boilermakers. The company started in partnership by Joseph Adamson and Henry Booth in 1874. The works which continued making boilers to the 1960s and beyond are now a small industrial estate.

Architects James Gowan and James Stirling. My new favourite building (for the moment)! Great reflections in the recently renovated engineering block roof glazing. The slightly blotchy effect is due to the translucent fibreglass infill to the glazing units, all to match the original installation.
I have worked in and around engineering for more years than I care to remember. It still continues to amaze me what can be made from a lump of raw metal.

Engineering Approach - If it works, don't fix it!
I wish I had some power tools for the job. The Cube has been very un-cooperative.
Now I've never ever made a color shot of the strobist setup, but this one is an exception. You really must see it (click on the link at the end of the description). And please leave a comment which one you prefer - this one or setup shot :)
Strobist info:
* Canon 20D | 17-40mm @ 17 | f/8 | 1/250s | RAW | SOOC
* Sunpak 5000AF left into silver umbrella with 3/4 blue gel
* Sunpak 5000AF behind subject with tough green gel
* Subpak 4000AF right with 3/4 CTO gel

is shown at Marquette, IA, which was the only bright spot on a day where all the weather people missed the forecast and an area of low pressure literally developed right over my head.
This is certainly the best looking engineering car consist of the Class 1's.
CP GP20C-ECO 2227 has been assigned to this train since it was released from Gateway Transit Services in Granite City, IL several years ago.
This HDR was made from three exposures, clicked right when the light changed.
The cyan band at the top is from the windshield =)
I went to the Falkirk Wheel to get this shot a while back, but at the time it was closed fro maintenance. Anyway decided to go again yesterday on way back from Dunkeld.
31452 burbles away at Bolton Abbey with an engineering train during a Chris Gee organised photocharter
The iron work on these locomotives is a site to be seen. This is one of the controls on a 5461 locomotive.
Following five hard fought years of construction, a moment of calmness, a moment of pride and a moment to reflect as I cast my gaze on the North Tower of the awe-inspiring Queensferry Crossing. The bridge is truly a stunning new addition to the iconic bridge-scape of the Firth of Forth just north of Edinburgh.
This image was taken the day before the bridges' opening to traffic on 30/08 this year.
Shot details: F13 @ 16mm for 1/50th sec...probably a polariser as well.
The Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto is a true realization of Engineering as Art.
The modern gallery received a $276-million renovation transformation by the Toronto-born architect of the world: Frank Gehry.
Inside the gallery, a generous $100 million dollar gift from the late Ken Thomson's unparalleled collection of Canadian and European art with Picasso and more.

Departmental Class 40 97407 (212/40012 -'Auerol') was passing Farington Junction with a train of new rails, en-route to a weekend engineering possession at nearby Euxton Junction on September 14th 1985.

To boldly go where no "fan" has gone before... you need a good warp and of course a clean and well maintained engineering room. So here's Scotty's kingdom where everything is possible even fixing the core with an old spoon ;D

I've taken a few pics of my bike since I've had it. Unfortunately I felt like none them captured it in a way where its beauty can truely be appriciated. Nothing like a little mechine glamour every now and then.

A survey in Cappadocia is always rich of discovers, sand, dust, scratched elbows and some time spend in open space and some time spent in narrow passages... :-)

Spider engineering has always been fascinating, but never more so for me than since I saw the photos I took below. These showed me what was too fast to see in the field.
This was a corner of a large web, and look at that bracing and strengthening. And see the brace across a corner.
Not to mention the beauty and balance of a web.
The refractions of my house are a distraction, although they where what I originally aimed my lens at, and do act as symbolic eyes.

I captured a series of the shack, nearby statuary and here is the shed and house more oddities. I am looking at Longmont housing but did find the only affordable housing in Logmont and yet this is in pain sight. I don't know if this is listed by the Longmont Housing Authority. This is one of the captures I snapped of a used up place in the city limits. I'll have to patch the roof when I move here. I really admire the roofing. Several original shingles remain on the shack but especially like the green sheet petroleum roofing on the shed, hereafter referred to as assfault. Which would fire up quicker, the petroleum or the wood pulp? I'd have thought that any eave overhang might have been helpful. Stacks upon shacks with holes everywhere.
I remember that I took a course in school on timber engineering. The remember that the assigned book was the TECO (Timber Engineering Company) manual. I don't remember any examples of this sort of timber engineering illustrated or discussed in the manual. I do like the texture and patina of aged timber. They did discuss engineering including 2-beam fudging, loading and failure of timber engineered glue-laminated beams also known as glulams. Just for interest, I looked them up in Wiki and found: A 2002 case study comparing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and costs for roof beams found it takes two to three times more energy and six to twelve times more fossil fuels to manufacture steel beams than it does to manufacture glulam beams. Vewy interesting!
This is in southwest Longmont but still in town. Fencing was built to keep the cattle from settling into the house and shed. The trees show the green up is just starting. The garbage Siberian elms are starting to bloom and spread seeds everywhere people don't realize that they need killing as soon as they show. On the other hand, the exceptionally weak trees can be admired as they grow and drop limbs, taking out the odd roof. Longmont has a Siberian elm statute but it's far from adequate. Although I was still in town, I still scenes to shoot.
It disappoints me that the owner let his property become so very shabby. Surely some upkeep is called for on the place! I'm sure that the roof can still be patched; I don't see anything growing through it yet. Ahhh, a bit of work and it would be a cozy spot with great access to local shopping.
A lot of calculations, material, work and effort is involved in creating something like this. 10.000 times, 100.000 wagons can cross this for 100 years. People are awesome.
Someone noted that I've posted too many 'real' camera shots in a row, so here's a bit of phone again :)

Three years into the four year engineering works and track replacement seems to have reached Montreuil, piles of new sleepers in the yard and an engineering train; V212K and V212L are ex-Deustche Bahn locos now in yellow and operated by Meccoli, they date from the early 1960s. The view from the walk around the ramparts of the old town.
Hit 'L' to view on large.
An abandoned papermill virtually untouched by vandalism or graffiti. Not sure about the whole history but it dates back to the 1920s/30s.
