Times Square from the Empire State Building, Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
The west side of Midtown's glorious buildings begining to shine in the light's fall.

The bridge connects parkland 40 feet below the bridge deck with the eastern bank of the Scioto. Located in the Midwest, the design is for a two span (350-foot each), 700-foot total length by 14 foot wide pedestrian bridge.

This is the Veterans Bridge in Chesapeake, Virginia. It carries US Route 17, and replaced a much shorter bridge that opened, on average, 16 times a day.
This spillway can be found on the Third Welland Canal. The warning posted above it reads "DANGER WHEN SIREN SOUNDS BEWARE OF LARGE WAVES" it was a popular spot for myself, my brother and my friends, to go swimming when we were teenagers

June 21, 2023 - We arrived at Port de Carcassonne where we bought tickets to sail on a canal boat on the Canal du Midi. The canal was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. It was designed by engineer Pierre-Paul Riquet and was constructed between 1667 and 1694 it links the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Empire State Building.
Millions of people cosmos over dream of ascending to the world's most famous observation deck. Although at number one of most individual's travelling "podium", its all part of an average day for New York's pigeon gang.
The Woolworth Building, downtown Manhattan, New York City.
Once the tallest building in the world, this is my favourite building in New York. It's grand, opulent, intricate and best of all looks stunning lit up at night. The real ruby in the NYC's architectural crown.
7 WTC, Manhattan.
Slicing in to the Downtown skyline, unashamed and slightly sombre. The corners are razor sharp, the lower levels bomb-proof blunt and the shadows darken an area already so dark memories are headlight profound...

This view of the last partially intact lock on the Third Welland Canal was taken in January 2007. These wood gates are only visible in the winter time when the Fourth Welland Canal is drained. A sunken ship is located at the far end of this lock just past the wooden gate.
Afsluitdijk (the "Enclosure" or "Barrier" Dyke) is a 32-km long dam completed in 1932 that separated the former Zuiderzee ("Southern Sea") from the Waddenzee, which is an inlet of Noordzee (North Sea). After the dam was built, Zuiderzee was renamed the IJsselmeer and became a massive 1,100 km² man-made fresh-water lake.
Along the Afsluitdijk is the motorway A7/ E22, connecting the provinces of Noord Holland (North Holland) and Friesland (Fryslân).
Himeji Castle, a majestic fortress standing tall against the test of time, is a captivating symbol of Japan's feudal history. With its stunning white facade and intricate architectural design, this UNESCO World Heritage Site takes visitors on a journey through centuries of culture and resilience.
Perched atop a hill, Himeji Castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, providing a glimpse into Japan's storied past. The castle's strategic layout, featuring defensive walls, moats, and towers, showcases the ingenious engineering of its time.
As you explore the castle's interior, you'll discover the elegant living quarters, war chambers, and strategic vantage points that once echoed with the footsteps of samurai and nobility. The castle's charm is further accentuated during cherry blossom season, when the grounds transform into a breathtaking sea of pink.
Himeji Castle stands as an enduring testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage, inviting all who visit to immerse themselves in the grandeur of its history and architectural splendor.
Times Square, Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
Looking south whilst bang in the middle of "the cross road of the world".
Although Times Square is commerical, slightly cheap and a striking snapshot of the contemporary consuming onus, it still has the power to shock (no pun intended) and I challenge any one to visit and not marvel at what man has actually constructed in the heart of New York City. A metropolitan disco with consumerism on the stereo?
