The beautiful Venus and Helen from Homer's Iliad!
"Meantime the brightest of the female kind,
The matchless Helen, o'er the walls reclined;
To her, beset with Trojan beauties, came,
In borrow'd form, the laughter-loving dame.
(She seem'd an ancient maid, well-skill'd to cull
The snowy fleece, and wind the twisted wool.)
The goddess softly shook her silken vest,
That shed perfumes, and whispering thus address'd:"
--Homer's Iliad, George Chapman

Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!

Murchison Falls National Park is a national park in Uganda and managed by the Ugandan Wildlife Authority. The park is in northwestern Uganda, spreading inland from the shore of Lake Albert around the Victoria Nile. Together with the adjacent 748 square kilometres (289 sq mi) Bugungu Wildlife Reserve and the 720 square kilometres (280 sq mi) Karuma Wildlife Reserve, the park forms the Murchison Falls Conservation Area (MFCA).

Drawing practice of Alucard's "final form." If you played Symphony of the Night, Alucard technically has a final form just like Dracula does. But the only way to see it (at least to my knowledge) is to be turned into stone (I think while jumping) by the Stone Rose in the Marble Gallery. And to the fun of it, I wanted to try drawing this form.

Introduced, cool-season annual, stemless or short-stemmed herb to 30 cm tall. Leaves form a prostrate rosette to 50 cm in diameter; they are spear shaped, serrated, deeply lobed; upper surface hairless to hairy; lower surface white felted. Flowerheads occur on unbranched peduncles. Ray florets are yellow, ligulate and sterile; disc florets are dark, tubular and bisexual. Germinates in autumn/winter; flowers in spring. A native of South Africa, it is strongly competitive weed of crops, pastures, lawns and disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides). Prefers lighter textured soils of reasonable fertility and where there is a lack of competition. Grazed by stock, but is of lower value than many good pasture species. Can cause nitrate poisoning in sheep and cattle on high fertility soils; taints milk; causes allergic skin reaction in horses and donkeys. Best managed using a number of methods: competition, grazing, mechanical, herbicides. Maintain dense, vigorous pastures and minimise soil disturbance. Needs to be controlled in year prior to sowing pastures; control is easiest at the seedling stage. Combined knockdown herbicides prior to sowing, selective post-sowing herbicides or manuring of crops and pastures can be highly effective for control.

This area near Uchisar in Turkey's Cappadocia region is known as Pigeon Valley. The valley is named for the many pigeon houses or dovecotes carved into the rocks and cliffs. Years ago the pigeons were used as message carriers, and their droppings were used as fertilizer and for use in making explosives.
Cappadocia is a unique geologic and cultural area in central Turkey. The area is a popular tourist destination, as it has many areas with unique geological, historic, and cultural features.
Sedimentary rocks formed in lakes and streams and deposits that erupted from ancient volcanoes underlie the Cappadocia region. The rocks of Cappadocia often eroded into hundreds of spectacular pillars and minaret-like forms locally referred to as fairy chimneys. People of the Cappadocia Region carved out houses, churches and monasteries from the soft rocks of volcanic deposits.

Scanair was formed in June 1961 to act as the charter arm of Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), similar to the relationship of Condor and Lufthansa. The holiday travel market was becoming popular, and Scanair was to take advantage. Its initial fleet consisted of two ex-SAS Douglas DC-7s for charter flights to Spain and Morocco; this was later extended to the United States.
Jet aircraft were acquired in 1965, the same year Scanair became wholly owned by SAS, in the form of DC-8s and Boeing 727s. The DC-8s extended Scanair's range to worldwide destinations, mainly ones in Asia, while the 727s took over European routes. The airline became very popular as the holiday market reached its heyday in the 1980s, so much that Scanair had to lease 747s from SAS to deal with demand. Airbus A300s were purchased by the airline as its first owned wide-body aircraft, but these lacked the range to reach Asia, and at the time were prohibited from flying transatlantic routes; the A300s were subsequently replaced by McDonnell Douglas DC-10s. DC-10s became the primary equipment of the airline.
Though Scanair posted record profits in the 1980s, the near collapse of the European charter industry following the First Gulf War left the airline nearly bankrupt. As it was becoming a drain on SAS, it was sold to Danish charter operator Conair. The two airlines merged to form Premiair in 1994.
This tiny toy shows Scanair's last livery before the merger, which was similar in titling to SAS. This DC-10 is among the smallest exhibits in the Poletto Collection--it's not much bigger than a quarter.
Igneous rocks form by the cooling & crystallization of hot, molten rock (magma & lava). If this happens at or near the land surface, or on the seafloor, they are extrusive igneous rocks. If this happens deep underground, they are intrusive igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks have a crystalline texture, but some are clastic, vesicular, frothy, or glassy.
Granite is a common intrusive igneous rock. Garden-variety granites are composed of quartz, potassium feldspar (K-feldspar), sodic plagioclase feldspar, hornblende amphibole, and mica. Granites have a felsic chemistry. Felsic igneous rocks are generally light-colored, have >65% silica (“silica” = SiO2 chemistry) (felsic has also been defined as >70% silica), are rich in potassium (K) & sodium (Na), and are dominated by the minerals quartz and K-feldspar.
Most granites have a phaneritic texture (coarsely crystalline; all crystals between 1 mm and 1 cm in size), the result of relatively slow cooling of magma deep underground. Other granites may be porphyritic (a mix of large & small crystals) or pegmatitic (almost exclusively composed of very large crystals - almost all >1 cm in size).
Gray, glassy crystals = quartz
Pinkish crystals = potassium feldspar
Whitish gray crystals = plagioclase feldspar
Black crystals = hornblende amphibole
Kirtipur (Nepali: कीर्तिपुर, Nepal Bhasa: किपू Kipu) is an ancient city in Nepal. It is located in the Kathmandu Valley 5 km south-west of the city of Kathmandu. It is one of the five municipalities in the valley, the others being Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi.
ETYMOLOGY
The name Kirtipur comes from Kirti (glory) and pur (city).
DEMOGRAPHICS
Originally a Newar foundation, Kirtipur is still a center of Newar culture. It has been merged with surrounding villages to form the municipality of Kirtipur with a population of 67,171.
It consists of many temples, gumbas (Buddhist monastery) and churches too. Due to the presence of Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur is also a popular area for out-of-town students and professors to rent houses and they are major contributors to the local economy.
HISTORY
Kirtipur's history dates from 1099 AD. It was part of the territory of Lalitpur at the time of the invasion of the Kathmandu Valley by the Gorkhali king Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century.
In 1767, Kirtipur was annexed to the Gorkhali kingdom by Prithvi Narayan following the Battle of Kirtipur. He took the town on his twenty third attempt, after entering it by trickery. After this, he cut off the noses and lips of everybody in the city.
This was the site of an inspirational peaceful demonstration of the people in the 2006 mass uprising that overthrew the powers of the king. It is considered to be an anti-monarchy city due to its bitter history against the Shah dynasty whose modern founder conquered the city insultingly, which was followed by negligence of the administration and development by subsequent rulers.
PLACES OF INTEREST
BAGH BHAIRAB
Bagh Bhairab temple is one of the most popular temples dedicated to the God Bhairab in the form of a tiger. This god is regarded as the guardian of Kirtipur and the locals call it Ajudeu, a grandfather god. Bhairab, the most terrifying and awful form of Shiva is the destroyer on one hand and the guardian on the other. Ceremonial rituals in relation to the important events of life such as rice-feeding, puberty, marriage and even the construction of houses cannot be done without propitiating this deity in most of the towns and cities of Nepal.
The present three storeyed temple of Bagh Bhairab probably built in 16th century stands in the brick-paved rectangular courtyard with the rest houses around it. There are some small shrines and stone images spread over the courtyard. The main gate is at the southern side. There are two other gates in the eastern and western sides. The two roofs of the temple are of tiles while the third one is covered with gilt-copper. There are wooden pillars carved with Hindu gods and goddesses. They have been erected in between windows of the second storey and the names of the carved deities have been finely cut out below them on the pedestals.
There are eighteen pinnacles-one in the first roof, six in the middle and eleven in the top roof. Beneath the eaves of the first roof there are very old but faded murals depicting the stories of Ramayan. Maha Bharat and the various manifestations of Durga, the mighty mother goddess. These paintings are frescoes in red with white plaster background. At the right side of the main gate of the temple there is Hifa Dyo, the god of blood sacrifice is allowed directly to Bagh Bhairab, all animal offerings to the deity are made here on behalf of this deity just as the animal sacrifices are made to Kumari, a stone idol, placed at the second gate in the left side of Chandeswori at Banepa and to the Chhetrapal which is at the very beginning of the final series of the steps to the temple of Khadga Jogini at Sankhu.
There are two torans over Hifa Dyo. They bear very fine cuttings of Asta-Matriks, Asta-Bhairabs and other gods and goddesses. In the western wall of the temple there is a hollow space regarded by the local people as Nasa Dyo, the god of music and dance. Bagh Bhairab made of clay has been enshrined in the left side corner in the temple. The three glass-eyed tiger-god is tongue-less and tooth-less but covered with silver and copper plates and heavily ornamented. This deity as mentioned in the stone inscriptions has been called Bagheswor (the tiger god), Bhimsen Bhattarak (Bhimsen, the governing deity), Gudei Sthanadhipati (the lord in the form of tiger) and Ajudyo(the ancestral god).
The local peoples hail this deity as the embodiment of prudence, knowledge, productivity and strength to resist all evils. Hence, the auspicious ceremonies such as weddings, hair-cuttings, rice-feedings and other ritual performances in Kirtipur are done only after a puza to this deity.
CHILANCHO STUPA
A Buddhist shrine, is situated on the southern hill. It is located in Kirtipur, Nepal. It was made in medieval period. An inscription of Nepal Samvat 635 is found in this Chaitya. Therefore, it is one of the most important historical stupa of this region.
UMA MAHESHWAR
Uma Maheshwar temple (locally, Kwacho Dega) is one of the important heritage sites of Kirtipur. This pagoda-style three-storied temple is situated at the highest point (1414 m) of Kirtipur. Since this temple is at the top of the hill, one can enjoy picturesque view of the Kathmandu valley and mountains like Langtang, Dorge Lakkpa, Chobhu Bhamure, and Gaurishankar.
The temple was constructed in 1655 AD by Rautra Vishwanath Babu, a son of king Sidhhi Narsinga Malla. It was destructed in an earthquake in 1832 AD. After remained dilapidated for about a century, it was restored in 1933 AD after it was again destroyed by an earthquake. Local people and government made a herculean effort to renovate it into the current state. The restoration process was completed only in 1982 AD. Recently, in 2008 some work was done to preserve the arts of temple.
There is an artistic stone gate at the entrance. On each side of the stone staircase leading to the temple, there is a stone elephant, with sculptures of Bhimsen and Kuber as protectors of the temple. The main deities in this temple are standing Lord Shiva and Parvati. There are other images of deities like Sarasvati and Mahismardini on false doors around temple.
The wooden doors, pillars, and beams are crafted with artistic figures of different gods and goddess such as Astamatrika and Asta Bhairav. Similarly, erotic figures are also carved in wooden beams. According to archeologists, these figures on beams have tantric values.
The bell on the northern side of temple was cast in 1895 by Gillett & Johnston Founders, Corydon. It was one of the four quarter bells of Ghantaghar of the central Kathmandu and was reallocated to this temple after the Ghantaghar was destroyed by the earthquake in 1933.
SHRI KIRTI BIHAR

"Perth is a town in Eastern Ontario, Canada. It is located on the Tay River, 83 kilometres (52 mi) southwest of Ottawa, and is the seat of Lanark County.
The town was established as a military settlement in 1816, shortly after the War of 1812. The settlement of Lanark County began in 1815. In that year "the Settlement forming on the Rideau River" as it was officially referred to (and which soon became known as "Perth Military Settlement") began to function under Military direction. The settlement was named Perth in honour of acting Governor-General Sir Gordon Drummond, whose ancestral home was Perthshire.
The Tay River splits into two main channels for much of its course through Perth. Much of downtown Perth, including the town hall, is on the island formed by the two channels. During the summer and fall of 2015, the fork in the river was modified to reduce erosion and flooding downstream.
The heritage downtown core of today's Perth consists of boutiques, specialty shops, cafés and restaurants, including crafts, antiques and flea markets, and summer Farmers' and Craft Markets. Most of these operate out of the century-old stone buildings in town. Code's Mill began as a tannery in the 1840s and then produced socks and felts until the mid-1900s. It was renovated in 1998 and now features a restaurant, boutique shops and wedding hall. The Perth Museum, situated downtown at the Matheson House, is a historic house constructed in 1840 and is designated as a National Historic Site of Canada." - info from Wikipedia.

THE CEA Project Logistics newly formed Football Team took on the might of the Chonburi Police force to battle it out for the inaugural Laem Chabang Cup.
The teams and supporters arrived early at the Sriracha Arena to soak up the pre-match atmosphere with the CEA players consuming energy drinks at an alarming rate in the hope of improving their stamina! Before the game began a small ceremony was conducted, Andy Hall Director of Operations along with the Chief of Chonburi Police cut a ribbon to officially open the game. Pre-match photos were taken and both teams began their warm up.
The match was spilt in to three 20 minute periods enabling everyone involved to get chance to show their skills or in some cases show themselves up! As kick off approached a few players looked worn out already from the warm up, the referee blew the whistle and got the match underway, both teams started nervously feeling each other out to find that vital breakthrough.
Soon enough the skill and experience of the Police Force shone through with the opening goal quickly followed by another, however this wasn’t to be a landslide as CEA pulled one back five minutes before the end of first period. During the much needed break lots of fluids were taken on by both teams especially Earl Brown CEA’s Marketing & Communications manager who probably drank his own body weight in water, which is a lot of water!
Both teams made changes to their line up and the second period started much the same as the first, CEA struggled to find the net in the 20 minutes, while at the other end the Police team managed two more goals which was a very respectable amount for the fledgling CEA team. As the final period began the CEA team in their stunning blue, but very sweaty kit were tiring fast with more and more substitutions taking place. The ball crossed the CEA goal line several times but as the scoreboard wasn’t functioning the count was lost! There was just time for a couple of late consolation goals from CEA before the Referee brought the game to a close.
The Chonburi Police Force ran out comfortable winners and were presented with a magnificent gold trophy, however on this day the score and the winners weren’t important it was all about camaraderie and friendships within the community. Andy Hall took to the Microphone and thanked the players, organisers and supporters for making the event a great success.
A special mention has to be made to Adrian ‘Chopper’ Zonneveldt Deputy Operations Director for CEA, who in just 5 minutes and 32 seconds on the pitch managed to fall over twice when no one was around him and upend the Chief of Police for Chonburi while the ball was at the other end of the pitch!
Sasbahu Temple, also called the Sas-Bahu Mandir, Sas-Bahu Temples, Sahastrabahu Temple or Harisadanam temple, is an 11th-century twin temple in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. Near the Gwalior Fort and dedicated to Vishnu in his Padmanabha form, like most Hindu and Jain temples in this region, it is mostly in ruins and was badly damaged from numerous invasions and Hindu-Muslim wars in the region. It was built in 1093 by King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty, according to an inscription found in the larger of the twin temple. The twin temples are situated in the Gwalior Fort.
The temple's tower and sanctum has been destroyed, but its architecture and damaged carvings can still be appreciated from the ruins. The jagati platform is 100 feet (30 m) long and 63 feet (19 m) wide, on a square plan. The temple was three-storeyed, which was one of its distinguishing features and sophistication. It followed a central cluster concept, states Adam Hardy. The surviving elements of the temple are the entrance porch and the mandapa. According to James Harle, though the prasada (tower, spire) no longer exists, the triple storey plan with a cruciform foundation and balconies suggests that it had a North Indian Bhumija style architecture. This style, states Harle, is marked by a well proportioned superstructure, its "regularly arranged little subordinate sikharas strung out like gigantic beaded garlands".
This temple mainly has three entrances from three different directions. In the fourth direction, there is a room which is currently closed. The entire temple is covered with carvings, notably 4 idols of Brahma, Vishnu and Saraswati above its entrance door. The pillar carvings show Vaishnavism, Shaivism and Shaktism related carvings. The larger temple ornamentation covers all the exterior walls and all surviving interior surfaces.
The twin temple, like elsewhere in India, has locally been called Sasbahu temple. The word Sasbahu means "mother-in-law, bride" or "a mother with her daughter-in-law", an association that implies their being together and interdependent. The Sas temple is typically the larger older temple of the twin. The Gwalior Sasbahu temple follows this style, but both temples are dedicated to Vishnu. Only the Sas temple has survived in some form, the Bahu temple is a shell structure of the original one storey with a highly ornate door frame and its defaced wall reliefs surviving. The remnants of the Bahu temple at Gwalior suggest that it may have been a smaller version of the Saas temple.
The Sas temple has a square sanctum attached to a rectangular two storey antarala and a closed three storey mandapa with three entrances. The temple main entrance porch has four carved Ruchaka ghatapallava-style pillars that are load-bearing. The walls and lintels are intricately carved, though much defaced. On the lintel of the entrances, friezes of Krishna-leela scenes are carved inside, while the outer side narrate legends from other Hindu texts. Above the lintel is Garuda, the vahana of Vishnu.
The Bahu temple also has a square sanctum with 9.33 feet (2.84 m) side, with four central pillars. Its maha-mandapa is also a square with 23.33 feet (7.11 m) side, with twelve pillars. The temple, like most Malwa and Rajputana historic temples, provides multiple entrances to the devotee. The roof consists of two rotated squares that intersect to form an octagon capped by successive overlapping circles. The pillars have octagonal bases as well, with girls carved but these have been defaced and mutilated. The sanctum has an image of damaged Vishnu, next to whom stands Brahma holding the Vedas on one side and Shiva holding the trident on the other side.

Puente Maule es un puente ferroviario fuera de servicio ubicado en el km 264 de la línea férrea que formaba parte del antiguo trazado del Ferrocarril al Sur de Chile. Construido durante los gobiernos de los presidentes Domingo Santa María y José Manuel Balmaceda, fue proyectado por el ingeniero civil Domingo V. Santa María y construido por la maestranza Lever, Murphy & Co. de Caleta Abarca, Viña del Mar. Entregado en 1885 después de un año de construcción, a la misma estructura luego en 1888 se le añadiría el Puente Carretero Maule, un segundo puente similar al anterior para tránsito de carretas.
Siendo Ministro de Interior don José Manuel Balmaceda, el gobierno hizo eco de distintas entidades que pedían el reemplazo de los puentes ferroviarios provisorios construidos en madera, principalmente los instalados sobre los ríos Lircay, Maule y Ñuble. Ya que, estos debían reconstruirse cada año luego de la crecidas veraniegas de dichos ríos, lo que perjudicaba el servicio de trenes hacia el sur suspendiendo sus operaciones incluso hasta durante 30 días.
El Maule fue construido por una comisión especial creada por el gobierno, quienes querían levantar un puente mixto, ferroviario y carretero, que compartiera fundaciones para mayor economía. El proyecto corrió a cargo de Domingo Víctor Santa María, ingeniero civil con estudios en Bélgica, junto con los ingenieros residentes Francisco Prado y Nicolás Tanco. Fue supervisado por Benjamín Vivanco, ingeniero de ferrocarriles para la sección de Curicó y el Maule. Es un error común relacionar a Gustavo Eiffel con la construcción de este puente, en la cual no tuvo injerencia, debido a que el francés si participó en otro puente sobre el río Maule cerca de Constitución.
Se comenzó la faena en enero de 1883 con la desviación del río en su ribera norte. Toda la obra de mampostería, estribos, cimientos y machones, fue construida por Santa María utilizando personal contratado por el gobierno con maquinaria arrendada a Lever Murphy y Cía. Esta se pensó para sostener tanto al puente ferroviario como al carretero. El 3 de febrero de ese mismo año se inicia la excavación del primer machón. Además el 30 de mayo, la misma Lever Murphy, gana la propuesta para construir la superestructura metálica del puente ferroviario de 1.320 toneladas de hierro forjado, la que sería puesta en obra y sujeta a pruebas de resistencia.
El puente se entregó oficialmente el 15 de marzo de 1885 no sin percances y retrasos en la mampostería por intensas lluvias en los inviernos de 1883 y 1884. Santa María presentó su memoria de la obra el 6 de junio, la cual quedó publicada en el Diario Oficial con esmerado detalle el 17 de junio de 1885. Fue probado antes de su apertura con un tren de 49 m de longitud y un peso 300 toneladas, tanto en reposo como a máxima velocidad (50 km/h). El puente mostró que el movimiento lateral fue de 6 mm en todos los tramos. Además la deflexión en los tramos de 60 m fue de 11 mm, y en los tramos de 50 m fue de 7,9 mm.
Fue inaugurado el mismo día que los puentes ferroviarios sobre el río Lircay, el sábado 11 de abril de 1885, por una extensa comitiva liderada por el entonces Ministro de Interior, José Manuel Balmaceda. De la ceremonia participaron representantes de gobierno, casi todos los ministros de estado, los ingenieros proyectistas y los socios de la empresa constructora, junto a centenares de personas que se reunieron en las riberas del río. El puente fue adornado para la ocasión con gigantes banderas chilenas que cerraban el paso hacia él y la comitiva almorzó en el mismo lugar luego de la ceremonia. Balmaceda, al momento de su discurso, destacó el trabajo de los chilenos en este tipo de obras e instó a los constructores a ensanchar sus talleres para numerosos futuros proyectos.
Originalmente en cada entrada del puente existían dos obeliscos, ya desaparecidos, con placas que recordaban la fecha de inauguración, ingenieros y constructores.
El puente ferroviario Maule fue considerado el primer puente de viga de celosía metálica remachada fabricado por chilenos. Ubicado entre las estaciones de Maule y San Javier, medía originalmente 440 m de largo en tramos de 50 y 60 m de luz, pero solo permanecen en pie unos 340. Su superestructura tuvo 4 vigas de rejilla tipo Warren con una longitud de 220 m cada una. Cada par de vigas sostenía originalmente un tablero de perfiles metálico, el cual soportaba la línea férrea y sus durmientes. El entramado metálico reposaba originalmente sobre estribos y machones de mampostería en piedra, los que fueron cambiados por estructuras de hormigón armado. Las fundaciones se proyectaron para soportar también la superestructura el Puente Carretero Maule, que fue añadido en 1888. El puente ferroviario además tuvo en su parte superior vigas contraviento en arco para evitar torsiones, instaladas justo en cada par de montantes.
Aparte de reparaciones periódicas, el puente no tuvo mayores modificaciones hasta 1909. Debido a un descarrilamiento de un tren de carga el 7 de septiembre de 1909, resultó parcialmente destruido el segundo tramo norte del puente ferroviario en unos 40 m. Si bien el tráfico fue restablecido prontamente en forma provisoria, el tramo afectado debió reconstruirse completamente. Las obras fueron encargadas a la Sociedad de Maestranzas y Galvanización y supervisadas por el administrador de la tercera sección de ferrocarriles, Francisco Sayagó, junto a los ingenieros Carlos Sibilla y Francisco Mardones. El puente fue entregado nuevamente a servicio el 25 de noviembre de 1909.
En 1993 se puso en servicio un nuevo puente carretero en la autopista, más ancho y fabricado en hormigón armado. Los puentes históricos fueron definitivamente dados de baja. El puente carretero fue clausurado con una barrera e informalmente quedó para uso peatonal. El antiguo puente ferroviario, o la vía sur a norte de la Panamericana entre 1956 y 1993, quedó como un desvío para fiscalización de camiones para el SII y el SAG. Así se mantuvieron hasta el año 2005, cuando el socavo de un machón motivó su clausura como medida de seguridad.
A petición del Municipio de San Javier de Loncomilla, por constituir un sobresaliente conjunto símbolo del progreso y talento de los ingenieros chilenos, los puentes proyectados por D. V. Santa María y construidos por Lever Murphy fueron declarados Monumento Histórico Nacional el 10 de septiembre de 1993, en virtud del decreto supremo n.º 635 del Ministerio de Educación de Chile, el cual también declara como monumento al actual puente ferroviario adyacente.
Debido a un sismo menor el 20 de febrero de 2006 colapsaron 112 metros de la superestructura de ambos puentes. Según artículos de prensa, meses antes la acción de las aguas estuvo socavando un machón cercano al estribo norte. El desnivel habría creado una torcedura de 20 cm en las vigas de su sección, justo las reconstruidas en 1909, motivando un cierre preventivo al público que utilizaba los monumentos como balneario en época estival. Dada la falta oportuna de reparaciones, un sismo ocurrido el 19 de febrero desestabilizó la estructura provocando su caída al río en la madrugada del día siguiente. Posteriormente personal de vialidad retiró los perfiles metálicos dañados, incluida una placa instalada al momento de inaugurar el puente carretero, manteniéndose en pie el resto

Maule Bridge is a railway bridge out of service located at km 264 of the railway line that was part of the old Southern Chile Railway route. Built during the governments of presidents Domingo Santa María and José Manuel Balmaceda, it was designed by the civil engineer Domingo V. Santa María and built by the Lever, Murphy & Co. factory of Caleta Abarca, Viña del Mar. Delivered in 1885 after one year of construction, to the same structure later in 1888 the Maule Carretero Bridge would be added, a second bridge similar to the previous one for cart traffic.
When Mr. José Manuel Balmaceda was Minister of the Interior, the government echoed different entities that requested the replacement of the temporary railway bridges built of wood, mainly those installed over the Lircay, Maule and Ñuble rivers. Since, these had to be rebuilt every year after the summer floods of said rivers, which harmed the train service to the south, suspending their operations even for up to 30 days.
The Maule was built by a special commission created by the government, who wanted to build a mixed railway and road bridge, which would share foundations for greater economy. The project was carried out by Domingo Víctor Santa María, a civil engineer with studies in Belgium, together with resident engineers Francisco Prado and Nicolás Tanco. It was supervised by Benjamín Vivanco, railway engineer for the Curicó and Maule section. It is a common error to relate Gustavo Eiffel to the construction of this bridge, in which he had no influence, because the Frenchman did participate in another bridge over the Maule River near Constitución.
The work began in January 1883 with the diversion of the river on its northern bank. All the masonry work, abutments, foundations and buttresses, was built by Santa María using personnel hired by the government with machinery leased from Lever Murphy y Cía. This was designed to support both the railway and road bridges. On February 3 of that same year, excavation of the first core began. Furthermore, on May 30, Lever Murphy herself won the proposal to build the metal superstructure of the railway bridge of 1,320 tons of wrought iron, which would be put into work and subject to strength tests.
The bridge was officially handed over on March 15, 1885, not without mishaps and delays in the masonry due to intense rains in the winters of 1883 and 1884. Santa María presented its report on the work on June 6, which was published in the Diario Official in careful detail on June 17, 1885. It was tested before its opening with a train 49 m long and weighing 300 tons, both at rest and at maximum speed (50 km/h). The bridge showed that lateral movement was 6 mm in all spans. Furthermore, the deflection in the 60 m sections was 11 mm, and in the 50 m sections it was 7.9 mm.
It was inaugurated on the same day as the railway bridges over the Lircay River, Saturday, April 11, 1885, by an extensive delegation led by the then Minister of the Interior, José Manuel Balmaceda. Government representatives, almost all state ministers, design engineers and partners of the construction company participated in the ceremony, along with hundreds of people who gathered on the banks of the river. The bridge was decorated for the occasion with giant Chilean flags that closed the way to it and the delegation had lunch in the same place after the ceremony. Balmaceda, at the time of his speech, highlighted the work of Chileans in this type of works and urged builders to expand their workshops for numerous future projects.
Originally, at each entrance to the bridge there were two obelisks, now gone, with plaques that remembered the date of inauguration, engineers and builders.
The Maule railway bridge was considered the first riveted metal truss girder bridge manufactured by Chileans. Located between the Maule and San Javier stations, it was originally 440 m long in sections of 50 and 60 m span, but only about 340 remain standing. Its superstructure had 4 Warren-type grid beams with a length of 220 m each. a. Each pair of beams originally supported a metal profile board, which supported the railway line and its sleepers. The metal framework originally rested on abutments and stone masonry buttresses, which were replaced by reinforced concrete structures. The foundations were designed to also support the superstructure of the Maule Road Bridge, which was added in 1888. The railway bridge also had arched windbreak beams in its upper part to avoid twisting, installed right on each pair of uprights.
Apart from periodic repairs, the bridge did not undergo major modifications until 1909. Due to a derailment of a freight train on September 7, 1909, the second northern section of the railway bridge was partially destroyed by about 40 m. Although traffic was promptly restored on a provisional basis, the affected section had to be completely rebuilt. The works were commissioned to the Sociedad de Maestranzas y Galvanización and supervised by the administrator of the third section of railways, Francisco Sayagó, together with the engineers Carlos Sibilla and Francisco Mardones. The bridge was returned to service on November 25, 1909.
In 1993, a new highway bridge was put into service, wider and made of reinforced concrete. The historic bridges were definitively decommissioned. The highway bridge was closed with a barrier and was informally left for pedestrian use. The old railway bridge, or the south to north route of the Panamericana between 1956 and 1993, was left as a detour for truck inspection for the SII and the SAG. They remained this way until 2005, when the damage caused by a pier led to their closure as a safety measure.
At the request of the Municipality of San Javier de Loncomilla, for constituting an outstanding symbol of the progress and talent of Chilean engineers, the bridges designed by D. V. Santa María and built by Lever Murphy were declared National Historical Monument on September 10, 1993, in by virtue of supreme decree No. 635 of the Chilean Ministry of Education, which also declares the current adjacent railway bridge as a monument.
Due to a minor earthquake on February 20, 2006, 112 meters of the superstructure of both bridges collapsed. According to press articles, months before the action of the waters was undermining a buttress near the northern abutment. The unevenness would have created a 20 cm twist in the beams of its section, precisely those rebuilt in 1909, motivating a preventive closure to the public who used the monuments as a spa in the summer. Given the lack of timely repairs, an earthquake that occurred on February 19 destabilized the structure, causing it to fall into the river in the early hours of the next day. Later, road personnel removed the damaged metal profiles, including a plaque installed when the highway bridge was inaugurated, leaving the rest standing.
