Sharpness Docks jetty.
The riverside entrance to the docks and the Gloucester ship canal is protected by this wooden construction. It reminds me of the little building projects I used to do as a youngster - sticks and crossbeams stuck together somehow so the whole thing stays up.
The scale here is a bit bigger and, like me I guess, has seen better days. If you've ever seen a canal boat or ship get the approach to a lock wrong because of misjudging the fickle currents, you will know that they can hit these guiding jetties with a terrific whallop. Fortunately wood is very flexible and can absorb most of the impact, but you can see the damage caused over time here.
I liked the geometry and the shapes and lines against the sparkling water, so thought it might make a reasonable subject for my 100x monochrome project for last year (#98).
The same image is also the starting point for a bit of Sliders Sunday art-play today so I shall link the in-camera original here as well, in the first comment.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x (2020)

Developed in Photolab 3 for contrast and detail.
Converted in Silver Efex with lots of Structure, a colour filter to balance the brightness and sparkle of the water, Dark Edges, and a sepia/blue toning.
Sharpened in Affinity. ]
To study engineering in a building such as this is an inspiration.

Such a long way down. This was the view from the Hoover Dam looking out to the new bridge.

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., April 15, 2014. - U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Axel Fiksman, right, 116th Civil Engineering Squadron (CES), Robins Air Force Base (AFB), Ga., Georgia Air National Guard, uses a circular saw to cut an even edge on a portion of a wall frame while Senior Airman Daniel Tift, 143rd CES, Quonset National Guard Base, R.I., and Staff Sgt. Joe Wells, 433rd CES, Lackland AFB, Texas, help to steady the boards during Silver Flag training.
During the weeklong course, Guardsmen from the 116th CES and more than 30 other U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard units trained on building and maintaining bare-base operations at a forward-deployed location. In addition, they honed their combat and survival skills and repaired simulated bomb-damaged runways, set up base facilities and established various critical base operating support capabilities. More than 30 Airmen from the 116th CES attended the exercise that consisted of extensive classroom and hands-on training culminating in an evaluation of learned skills on the last day of class.

A team of engineers at Vanderbilt’s Center for Intelligent Mechatronics led by Michael Goldfarb, H. Fort Flowers Chair in Mechanical Engineering, has developed a powered exoskeleton that enables people with severe spinal cord injuries to stand, walk, sit and climb stairs. Its lightweight, compact size and modular design promise to provide users with an unprecedented degree of independence. The university has several patents pending on the design, and Parker Hannifin Corporation, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has signed an exclusive licensing agreement to develop a commercial version of the device that it plans to introduce in 2014.

warning: obstacles to becoming an engineer include low self-esteem, differential equations, and poverty. (I know from personal experience that differential equations are a *source* of low self-esteem!)

is related to the field of evolution of aircrafts and space crafts. This field defines the working of these aircrafts, expanding and redeveloping the technology used to make them work. The main topics covered in the bestselling aeronautical engineering books are Aerodynamics, Rocket Propulsion, Aeronautical Physics, Aviation Law, Contemporary Aeronautical Engineering, and Mechanical Flaw Diagnosis.
