It is a bridge over the Garonne in the French city of Bordeaux. The construction started in 1810 on the orders of Napoleon I. For a long time it was the only link between the left and right banks of the Garonne. Before that, there was only a ferry connection between both parts of the city.
Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
You know ya never coming backt

The Ionic order is one of the three canonic orders of classical architecture, the other two being the Doric and the Corinthian. There are two lesser orders: the Tuscan (a plainer Doric), and the rich variant of Corinthian called the composite order. Of the three classical canonic orders, the Corinthian order has the narrowest columns, followed by the Ionic order, with the Doric order having the widest columns.
The Ionic capital is characterized by the use of volutes. The Ionic columns normally stand on a base which separates the shaft of the column from the stylobate or platform while the cap is usually enriched with egg-and-dart.
The ancient architect and architectural historian Vitruvius associates the Ionic with feminine proportions (the Doric representing the masculine)

A great last light hour wading around Kynance Cove. No footprints , and just caves and pinnacles to explore. Last orders by Richard Hawley is fine.
I had an epic road trip for work today. I only managed to stop a couple of times on the way home - this was taken near Oatlands, central Tasmania. The clouds were really doing some amazing things and needed to be photographed. I've photographed this tree before - it owns the hillside and keeps an eye out on the surrounding farmland.
Autumn Mists - Times Of Uncertainty by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music : Wordclock - It May Come by Cryo Chamber

Meanwhile in Asghardia at the top of a staircase in a richly ornamented stonework a figure with a long embroidered mantle looked at the landscape with autumnal tones that vanished through a dispersed fog.
His thoughts roamed the horizon through the mists of uncertainty that surround his beloved Kingdom Of Krudhyn.
Old rumors and old superstitions increased in a thick cloak of uncertainty and conspiracies among the Old Orders, there had always been rivalries but never as much as now.
The choice of the Guardian Master Of The Black Order for Cardinal of the Kingdom was not a consensual decision within Aghort, the general council of the orders, but the influence that the Cardinal exercised as the former Khanton (*) of the kingdom had weight with King Ehomyhr, although defended the independence of the state in relation to those of the old orders.
It was this recent condescension that intrigued her even more - Her husband had always defended the separation of powers! -She thought aloud while watching the autumn tones that painted the landscape around the Old Winter Palace.
Not far away, on a parapet with a privileged view, there was a curious black crow that seemed to observe all the movements that the Queen Elyandhyn made.
She had already seen him, but pretended that she hadn't noticed, since she was a child, she had no sympathy for those animals with piercing eyes and black feathers with metallic blue reflections. But what was strange is that lately it was not the first time that she had seen crows in the old palace although they were rare - I have new secret admirers, she thought as she smiled.
(*) Khanton is the equivalent of King's Counselor in other monarchies.

A throwback to 2015 and a group of snappers scramble for position at Barnetby station just 3 months before the signals were decommissioned, in an attempt to bag a few final shots from this one-time semaphore mecca.
The secondary subject on this occasion is DB Cargo Shed 66132, seen here working an iron ore empties from Scunthorpe back to Immingham Dock to collect yet another load for the hungry steelworks' blast furnaces.
Plenty of heat-haze coming off the loco which, despite the box wagons being empty, still looks like it's putting in a shift.

Leading a westbound on the former NYC "Big Four" line here Conrail GE 2749 gets orders at Morgan tower in Quincy, Ohio the crossing of the DT&I on August 5, 1984.
The engineer is about to snag his train orders from the fork at 5th Street as the train crosses over the C&NW main line.
Christmas tree plantation.
Nobody really knows what the end of year festivities will look like this year, but hopefully they will still include trees.
they have a moment. the urn waits. the square on both sides continues without them. stall 72, jemaa el-fna — a conversation that will be interrupted shortly, as all conversations here are.
After opening prematurely, Texas saw a dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases. So the governor ordered wearing masks in public, as these photographers are doing.
Wishing you all a happy 4th of July.
The milecastles on Hadrian's wall were built at regular intervals of one Roman mile (1,500 metres), This applies even if there was strategically better ground just a few hundred meters further on.
It may have been blindly following orders, but could be because the milecastles were not meant to be defended. Roman miltary tactics consist of getting troops out onto the open field, where their disiplined tactics and superior equiment had already proven decisive.
This sentiment can be seen in other forts where there are a multitude of doors, ensuring troops can meet attackers in the field and not be trapped within their own walls.
It seems the milecastles were simply crossing points through the wall. Quite a deterrent for any one thinking of sneaking across.

Paducah & Louisville LG1 crawls through Millwood right before sunset. They are in the middle of an almost-constant 10mph slow order from Leitchfield.
Despite it being mid-November the Mahonia in the garden is in full bloom and buzzing with insects. The most abundant are the two shown here, the honeybee (in flight) and the common drone fly (Eristalis tenax). The hoverfly is a honeybee mimic and this shot provides a comparison between it and the real thing.
I wonder how long it will be before the nectar runs out and the flying insect season comes to an end.
