For what ever reason i was reminded of this clip from the mid '80s
Worth checking out just to see the drive through of Melbourne before everything went gangbusters. And for those who don't know, the melburnian cooloquialism for a carton of beer is "a slab"

Concrete formwork and props during the construction of a building.
This is a very large drawing. Set up in pencil, outlined with charcoal pencil and coloured with chalk pastel and pencils.
This is one of those times where the light, colour and rhythm of the formwork creates a space and mood far more interesting than the finished building.
Poked my camera under the fenced off area of the unfinished front steps at the new Adelaide Oval stadium, to see the formwork used to create the concrete base of the steps.
With all its permanent cables installed, formwork for the center closure and west pylon caps under construction, the recently named Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People looks nearly complete.
Although sunset was a wash, it was still fun and informative to stand on the Ross Island Bridge and watch the progression of city lights into blue hour about 30 minutes after sunset when the reflection of the bridge began to show up nicely on the river. Although the river never got completely calm a hint of some of the individual cables began to become visible. The white balance of the construction lights on the west / left side of the bridge are considerably warmer than those on the east / right, it'll be interesting to see how the final bridge lighting which will change with conditions of the river will look in comparison.
Although by the end of Spring construction of the main bridge structure will be complete; there will still be a lot of work to be done installing light rail / street car tracks, electrical for same, guardrails, and lighting before the bridge opens to the public in the Fall of 2015. NB22451

"Louis Kahn's Salk Institute for Biological Studies on the Pacific coast near La Jolla aspires within its own spirit to an order achieved through clarity, definition, and consistency of application...
Two parallel laboratories, each an uninterrupted 65- foot wide and 245-feet long and encircled by a perimeter corridor, flank a central court. The support elements to these totally flexible spaces are placed in a peripheral relationship to this corridor. They are the studies and offices for scientist, fractured in profile and vertical in rhythm, which line this central court, connected by bridges to the perimeter corridor and receiving views of the ocean by virtue of exterior walls angles toward it.
The idea of simple and strong; the served space of laboratories where research is performed, the serving space of offices where thought initiates... Clearly, in the institute at La Jolla, a new level of realization and accomplishment is evident for this idea.
The institute manifests beauty of mind and act; of the resolution and articulation of the major elements of the building...being what it wants to and needs to be, to the precise detail and execution of beautiful concrete surfaces. Even the component of structure derives from the need to enclose specific spaces, specifically and pertinently, rather than offer a general envelope within which specific space might then be designated.
The central court, as a typical Kahn-like space of shimmering blue water, a band pointing toward the ocean epitomizing what human endeavor can accomplish at one scale with geometric clarity and authoritative but modest deliberation, to give to the scaleless sweep of the ocean, here the Pacific, a poignant gesture."

Construction of the Glenfinnan Viaduct
The building of the Glenfinnan Viaduct started in 1897 and was completed in 1898, although the railway line extension from Fort William to Mallaig was not actually completed in full and opened until 1901. Until the line was fully operational the Glenfinnan Viaduct was just used to transport materials across the valley. The total cost for building this enormous bridge was £18,904.
Robert McAlpine & Sons were the contractors taken on to build the structure, with Simpson & Wilson working as the engineers. Robert McAlpine & Sons was headed by Robert McAlpine, who was informally nicknamed “Concrete Bob” thanks to his innovative use of mass concrete. Concrete had to be used due to the difficulty of working the hard schist in the area.
The Glenfinnan Viaduct is built from mass concrete, which unlike reinforced concrete does not contain any metal reinforcement. It is formed by pouring concrete, typically using fine aggregate, into formwork, resulting in a material very strong in compression but weak in tension.
If you are to visit the bridge at attempt to count the arching semicircles, you will find that there is a total of 21, each spanning 15 metres. It is the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland at 380 m. It crosses the River Finnan at a height of 30 m, or a whopping 100 feet if you work in old money measurements! The West Highland Line it carries is made up of a single track, and the viaduct between the parapets stretches 5.5 metres wide.
The Horse Legend of the Glenfinnan Viaduct
Glenfinnan Viaduct
It is a long-established legend that a horse had fallen into one of the piers during construction of the Glenfinnan Viaduct in 1898 or 1899. There is in fact a plaque commemorating the incident at Glenfinnan Train Station. Supposedly the horse belonged to ‘Concrete Bob’ McAlpine of the construction company and when it horrifically fell, and it was said to dragged it’s cart down along with it.
In 1987 Professor Roland Paxton MBE, ascertained that there were only two piers large enough to be the location of this incident, and he used a fish-eye lens camera inserted through specially bored holes, only to discover that there was no evidence of a horse or cart.
Then Professor Paxton heard that local landowner Mr E.D. MacMillan had remembered from local hearsay in his father’s time that the accident had in fact occurred at the Loch nan Uamh Viaduct, which is also part of the West Highland Line.
By 2001, technology had moved on so much that state-of-the-art scanning exercise was able to be carried out at the Loch nan Uamh Viaduct. Many hours of work were involved in the process, involving transmitting radio waves through walls up to 9 feet thick, and monitoring and interpreting the results. Incredibly, it was able to be clearly seen that there was in fact the remains of a horse, standing vertically against the east wall above the wreck of a cart. This would imply that it was the loaded cart that fell first into the cavity, dragging the horse with it.
Trains over the Glenfinnan Viaduct
Glenfinnan Viaduct
The railway line which operates over the Glenfinnan Viaduct is the West Highland Line. The West Highland Line connects Fort William and Mallaig, and was a crucial artery for the local fishing industry and the highlands economy in general, which suffered enormously after the Highland Clearances of the 1800s.
The line is used nowadays by passenger trains carrying people visiting Scotland, and is operated by ScotRail between Glasgow Queen Street and Mallaig, usually diesel multiple units. Additionally, in the summer, the heritage Jacobite steam train operates along the line. It is a popular tourist event in the area, and the viaduct is one of the major attractions of the line. Find out more about the Jacobite Steam Train here.
It is no wonder really that this journey has been described as the greatest railway journey in the world by those who have encountered it when visiting Scotland. As well as the excitement of crossing over the Glenfinnan Viaduct itself, the 84 mile round trip takes you past a list of impressive extremes, including:
the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis,
Britain’s most westerly mainland railway station, Arisaig
the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar
the shortest river in Britain, River Morar
the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis!
The Glenfinnan Viaduct Viewpoint
The Glenfinnan Viaduct viewpoint is not defined as a particular spot, rather any spot along the path. It is typical to find at least a few tourists already waiting for the train to come by at most of the crossing times, but luckily there’s plenty of space so you shouldn’t have trouble finding a good viewing spot.
The easiest route to access Glenfinnan (apart from via the train of course!) is via the town of Fort William, and this car journey will take you around 30 minutes. There is also an infrequent bus service from Fort William to the Glenfinnan visitor centre, or there are a number of tour operators operating guided coach tours throughout the area.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SOME OF THESE TOURS HERE
The Glenfinnan Viaduct train timetable changes depending on the season, so if you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the train crossing over the bridge then be sure to check the schedule before you go. Throughout the summer months of June to September there will usually be two daily services, but at other times there may only be one, so always double check on the day of your trip.
If you are trying to see the train from the viewpoint we recommend arriving at least half an hour before it is due to cross. There are a number of carparks to choose from, all of which are marked on the below map.
Glenfinnan Viaduct
The viewpoint path up to the viewing point marked 1 on the map is a track which leads form the bottom of the valley and continues up the hill- but be warned it can get muddy so you will need appropriate footwear. Some viewers have reported that the vantage point from slightly higher up the path then most tourists congregate is better so it may be worth having a bit of an explore.
There is a second viewing point if you don’t wish to walk so far, this is marked 2 on the map. Whilst you can still get a clear view of the Glenfinnan Viaduct from there next to visitor centre, the photographs are arguably less impressive from this angle.
When the train is approaching the bridge, you should be able to spot the smoke billowing around the corner warning of it’s approach. As it crosses the valley the train will usually toot it’s horn and slow down to allow everyone looking down on the Glenfinnan Viaduct a photo opportunity.
The Glenfinnan Visitor Centre
The Glenfinnan Visitors Centre is the perfect pit stop if you are hoping the view the train crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct or look upon the solemn statue at the Glenfinnan Monument. Not only does it contain lots of interesting historical information, it is also a fantastic place to grab a cup of tea and slice of cake!
Ask inside the visitor centre and you will be offered the opportunity to take a guided tour to the top of the Glenfinnan monument.
You can experience the modern exhibitions and displays and an audio programme about the Prince’s campaign from Glenfinnan to Derby and back to his final defeat at the Battle of Culloden. There is also a lovely little gift shop affording you the opportunity to buy a souvenir.
The visitor centre can be accessed by simply hoping off the train at Glenfinnan station, or by car following the A830 from Fort William or Mallaig, or by daily bus from Fort William too. It is located on the edge of the village, just a short walk away from the train station.
The Glenfinnan Viaduct in The Media
Glenfinnan Viaduct
The famous flying car scene in ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ which features the Glenfinnan Viaduct.
It’s no surprise really that a structure this impressive has been used in a variety of media sources. It has been used as a location in a number of film and television programmes, including:
Ring of Bright Water
Charlotte Gray
Monarch of the Glen
Stone of Destiny
The Crown
And perhaps most famously, Harry Potter.
The Hogwarts Express was in fact filmed crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct in FOUR of the Harry Potter films.
After it was featured in Harry Potter, the Glenfinnan Viaduct became such a popular tourist spot for fans of the series that British Transport Police actually had to warn fans not to walk on the viaduct, after a handful of near misses with trains had occurred!
Another notable representation of the Glenfinnan Viaduct in the popular media, was that it was featured in the 2018 video-game Forza Horizon 4.
As well as this, the Glenfinnan Viaduct actually features on some Scottish banknotes. The Bank of Scotland issued a series of notes in 2007 that depict different bridges in Scotland, as examples of Scottish engineering. It was the £10 note which was selected to depict the Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Since the photo of May 12, 2014 they've removed more of the construction equipment including East Tower crane, last bit of the formwork used to complete the center, all of the East construction pier, half of the West construction pier, and half of the pilings from around the base of each tower. On the bridge deck they have been laying track, pouring the roadway that encases the track and where buses will travel along with the streetcars and light rail, constructing the barriers that separate the track/roadway from the bridge cables and pedestrian/bike path and more, see the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project flickr stream for photos of those and more . Some of the major things still to be completed are the electrical poles and cables that will provide power for the streetcars and light rail, the bridge lighting, and the final railings.
To know when to catch the last light on the bridge in the photo above, instead of using The Photographer's Ephemeris I took advantage of Trimet's BridgeCam Timelapses and watched the OMSI BridgeCam Daily Timelapse of the day before and saw that the shadow of the Marquam Bridge began to touch the base of the tower around 8:15PM about 35 minutes before sunset. The Trimet BridgeCams are a fantastic photographic resource for checking: lighting, river smoothness for reflections, and weather/sky conditions down at the bridge. NB24984,85
Aqua is an 82 story highrise that is best known for its undulating balconies that transform the building's facade into a free-flowing cascade of concrete and glass. But if you take a look around the site itself you'll find many more interesting details to enjoy.
