Engineering works at Beattock Summit on 16th April 2023. There were a total of 8 locos from various companies interspersed between the various rakes of wagons. In view here are 66108, 66561 and 66177.
The "Zeche Nachtigall" is a former coal mine in Witten-Bommern.
The mine was also known under the name coalmine Nachtigal in the Hetberge, colliery nightingale in the Hedtberge, trade union in the Hedtberge and coal bank in the Hettberger wood.
The mine is in Witten-Bommern at the entrance of the Muttental and is a part of the mining footpath Muttental.
The was one of the biggest civil engineering colliery of the region. On the mine were diminished in the civil engineering fat coal rich in piece which had a good quality. Today is the colliery a museum.
Small colliery were stone coal pits whose staff, equipment and production far lie under their one big mines. Most of all it concerned pure tunnel companies (without segregation shafts).
The Model 770 Amphicar (seen on the left side of the photograph above) was named after its ability to achieve speeds of seven knots in the water and 70 mph on land. 3,878 Amphicars were manufactured in Germany from 1961 to 1968. During that time 3,046 were imported into the United States. The Amphicar is rear-engined and uses a 4-cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43 hp. All Amphicars are convertibles, offered to civillians in four colors; Beach White, Regatta Red, Lagoon Blue, and Fjord Green (Aqua). Two American Presidents owned Amphicars; Jimmy Carter and Lyndon B. Johnson. President Johnson would invite friends and even foreign dignitaries to his Texas ranch for a joyride in his car.
Today, the Boathouse Orlando at Disney Springs is the only place in the world that offers the unforgettable & thrilling experience of a Captain’s Guided Tour in a vintage Amphicar. These rare cars drive on land and enter the water with a splash, taking you on a Captain Guided, 25-minute tour of the landmarks of Disney Springs. Their fleet of Amphicars were purchased from private collections worldwide – and less than 400 exist worldwide today.

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.
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.
I ♥ old sewing machines
Hand cranked transverse shuttle sewing machine made in the early 1920's by L O Dietrich and Company, which later became Vesta.
The pansy pattern decals are simply gorgeous.
When we received it everything had ceased up, the handle wouldn't turn and all moving parts were really dry. The whole machine was seriously grubby and dull, as it had been hiding in an attic for decades.
Engineer husband and myself have thoroughly overhauled, lubricated, cleaned and polished it and it now stitches like a dream. The bobbin winder is smooth and efficient, and is a delight to use.
Thought I loved my vintage Singer, but this is even more beautiful.

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

W. 56th St., NY, NY. Hoping someone can explain how those two outriggers work. Seems like there should be four of them to keep it from toppling.....can some of you engineers out there explain?
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.
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
Decals by Fine Clonier, thanks a lot Jared.

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 couple of good precision engineering images I located:

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.

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.
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.
BR Class 40 No 40090 awaits scrapping along with other doomed diesel locomotives dumped in the yard at British Rail Engineering Ltd Doncaster Plant on 28th July 1984 - 40090 was finally scrapped at Doncaster the following November.

But No Replacement Bus Service !!
During the week I was in Scarborough , the Central Cliff Lift ( Tramway ) was closed because of work on the tracks .
Regrettably I had to walk up the adjacent stairs . It took me over 15 minutes , and two squirts of my Angina spray .

Thursday lunchtime 07th-November-2024.
was on my way to work this morning, i noticed this couple building their house ...
the place seemed to me little risky, if the water goes high...but what do i know?! They know better...
the shot is simple, i didn't like to disturb them and get closer...but i was wondering what are those genes telling these animals what to build how to build where to build??? I was amazed by the ability of the swan picking up reed and trying to cut others ...nature is amazing!
Taken Friday afternoon while on a nature walk with Beefy to take advantage of the amazing weather that happened in between 4 days of rain and a BLIZZARD today (Saturday) if you can believe it...all the snow is melted now, but it was coming down pretty hard until about 1 PM!
Made the first day of our garage sale (both days this weekend and both days next weekend) kind of bizarre as people were fighting for space in our garage, but it all worked out well!
Anyways, this is a foot bridge spanning the mighty Bow River, connecting the Deer Run neighborhood with McKenzie Lake and Douglasdale on the eastern side of the river.
