Queenstown, New Zealand. Doing the pipeline bungy jump which at the time was the highest commercial bungy jump in the world.

Today's uploads were all taken around midday.

This was one of several signposts showing the track and naming the national park in which it is situated.

Southern Nevada Water Authority wants to drain the water from an area almost as big as the state of Vermont! They want to take water from high deserts of Rural Nevada. They will leave our valleys dustbowls. Eventually, they will drain the groundwater from the nearby mountain ranges too. One of these ranges is the Great Basin National Park.

Giant pipeline pumping I don't know what through a stream.

Manchester, UK.

Birding at it's best. The world famous pipeline road lives up to all the hype. Wildlife haven.

This pipeline runs around the boundary of the park, it caries steam from one ICI plant to another. And here is a kink in it, not sure why it is here. Taken from a footbridge across the pipeline, not from on the pipes.

here is a photo of the place that makes the steam, the combined heat and power plant in winnington: flickr.com/photos/93173492@N00/212342518/?addedcomment=1#...

The Alyeska pipeline’s structure is really a fascinating thing. Rather than being directly mounted to a post, the pipeline itself sits on a sliding shoe that can back and forth on a crossbar between two posts. This lets the pipeline shift relatively freely to handle expansion and contraction do to temperature shifts as well as ground movement due to permafrost melt or earthquakes. Where the pipeline is mounted, it is wrapped in a large, insulating bumper in case it shifts so far as to hit one of the posts. Further, each post is topped with a heatsink to prevent the heat of the oil from being transmitted into the ground and melting the permafrost below (which would cause massive deformation of the landscape, potentially stretching and breaking the pipe). Preserving the permafrost is actually the main reason much of the pipeline is built above ground, rather than buried.

This was a shot of the prep work for the final weld of a natural gas pipeline that spans 1700 miles across the country.

Heavy rainfall in much of the James River watershed, combined with nearly saturated soil conditions in some areas, is leading to flood conditions all along the James on 1/26/2010. This is the James flowing at about 70,000 CFS (cubic feet per second) through Richmond. The flow is predicted to peak at 17 ft. in Richmond, or about 90,000 CFS.

The color of the water reflects the tons of soil, nutrients and other pollutants that wash into the James after storms. The James watershed has undergone the loss of the natural forest and wetland ecosystems that formerly would have slowed, absorbed, and filtered some of this water. Increased impervious surface area also serves to increase the serverity of flood events and the concentration of pollutants int he water.

This is apparently the first time pipe of this type and size has been used in Australia.

The diameter of the pipe is 48", each length is about 12mtr long and weighs in at around 5t.

Moving it is a serious endeavour, especially when it has never been done before.

This string went in the ditch easily, on line and no major dramas at all.

It was possibly the most photographed pipe in Australia. There would have been 40 cameras or camera phones here today. People were coming from all over site to watch it go in.

Sir James Douglas recorded in reports to HBC Offices in England, ca.1843, the main drawback to establishing the fort at Victoria was the lack of a ready, water supply. He noted:--There is a river about 20-yards wide to the west--; This was the Sooke River. By the turn-of-the-century, water flowed through this pipe from Sooke Lake to Victoria, BC, Canada.

Next up was Pipeline, I came to check out the awesome wood feature ( apparently one of the largest wood feature on the shore ‍♂️ ) but sadly it was closed. On the bright side it’s being rebuilt to its former glory. Trail was still fun to ride and this is where I landed my first flat, thankfully on the last 100m.
