This is another view of the last partially intact lock on the Third Welland Canal. This lock can only be viewed in the winter time, as it is submerged for the rest of the year. The is a sunken ship located just in front of the lock.
Empire State Building, Manhattan, NYC.
Another view of the spectacular sunset hovering just behind Jersey City and downtown Manhattan.
The darkness descending and thousands of lights turning on before your eyes is marvellous. An 'accidental' but wonderful experience.
This Lock found on the third Weland Canal shows the last partially intact lock. This picture was taken in January 2007
January 9, 2021 - "This span is an iconic connection between the historic district of the City of Dublin and a new commercial district across the Scioto River to the east, enhancing the character of the surrounding historic neighborhood with a modern iconic element. 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. The bridge deck is “S” shaped in plan with a radius of 500 foot and is anchored into the earth at the embankments."

White Pass and Yukon Route (WP&YR) Railroad train ride from Skagway, Alaska to Fraser, British Columbia makes use of the incredible engineering accomplishment involved in building this railroad. The WP&YR was designated an international Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1994 in recognition of the difficult and hazardous obstacles, including unimaginable weather conditions, faced in the construction of the route.

I really haven't done many panoramas. I hope this one satisfies.
I also have a video that I will try to post this week. Before I post it, I need to find some free video editing software so that I can edit out the voice of the guy who came up to me and asked, "What time is the laser show?"
From Wikipedia:
Grand Coulee Dam is a gravity dam on the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington built to produce hydroelectric power and provide irrigation. It was constructed between 1933 and 1942, originally with two power plants. A third power station was completed in 1974 to increase its energy production. It is the largest electric power-producing facility in the United States and one of the largest concrete structures in the world.
