Plandampf (replacing timetabled trains with steam hauled trains) over a weekend in 2005, centred on the town of Landau, Germany. Normal railway tickets are purchased to ride the trains, which are shared by bewildered locals having to endure packed, unheated old carriages to make their normal journeys.
EDIT** i Replaced the photo with a tighter crop to move the subject out of the center, tell me what you think now

This woman was smoking a CIGG with her friends i don't exactly know why, but i kept looking her for some reason, and i finally said eff it i'll snap a shot. I was pretty happy with the way it came out, i shot about 4 or 5 this was the best (i wish the smoke would show more)
The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge connects Downtown Charleston to the community of Mount Pleasant. It opened in 2005 to replace a pair of aging cantilever truss bridges that originally crossed the Cooper River.
The first of the original bridges was built in 1929, named the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge after Charleston's Mayor. The total length of the bridge was 2.7 miles and reached an impressive 150-feet above the river, one of the highest in the world at the time. By the 1960s, the bridge was becoming obsolete. It had steep grades up to 6% and a mere two lanes were a narrow 10 feet - built to accommodate Ford Model As.
A second bridge opened in 1966 which had three lanes at a more standard width of 12 feet. It carried traffic northbound into Mount Pleasant while the older bridge became completely southbound into Charleston.
One lane on the new bridge was reversible in order to accommodate heavier traffic flow during rush hour.
In 1946, the state of South Carolina removed the $1 toll from the original bridge. This ultimately led to significant maintenance shortfalls for the original bridge. By 1979 severe deterioration limited its weight capacity to 10- and eventually just 5-ton vehicles. The "reversible" lane on the newer bridge was eliminated and it became a southbound lane permanently for the heavier trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles heading into Charleston. Furthermore, the vertical clearance over the river was becoming insufficient to allow passage of modern shipping vessels. A completely new bridge was needed.
But raising the funds required for a massive 8-lane bridge took over 20 years. The State insisted that it could not afford such a project and Charleston was reluctant to provide any funding of its own at first. But when it was revealed in 1995 that the original Grace bridge scored a 4 out of 100 for safety/integrity, things began to change.
Retired U.S. Congressman Arthur Ravenel, Jr. ran for South Carolina's Senate in 1997 with finding a way to fund the project as a top goal. He helped establish the South Carolina Infrastructure Bank and worked with local, state, and federal officials to form partnerships that helped gain the funding. The SIB budgeted $325 million in addition to a $215 million federal loan. The Federal Highway Administration provided around $96 million. As part of the agreement, Charleston County would be responsible for contributing $3 million a year for 25 years toward the federal loan. The final cost of the project would end up being $700 million.
Ground broke on the new bridge in 2001 on the Mount Pleasant side of the Cooper River. In March 2005 the final structural elements of the bridge were completed and it took only a few more months to complete the final touches such as paving, signage, and lighting. The bridge officially opened on July 16, 2005 - one year ahead of schedule and under budget.
The Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge spans 2.5 miles and rises 186 feet above the river at high tide. The two towers rise a dominating 575 feet and are the tallest manmade structures in South Carolina. The span between the towers measures over quarter-mile at 1,546 feet. The roadway consists of eight 12-foot lanes as well as a 12-foot pedestrian/bicycle path along the south side of the bridge, overlooking Charleston's downtown. The bridge's superstructure is designed to withstand and earthquake of 7.4 on the Richter scale and wind gusts exceeding 300mph, far beyond what the city's strongest hurricanes have unleashed. The towers are protected from errant ships by 1-acre flanks of rocks designed to run ships aground before any collision would take place with the towers themselves. 77,500 vehicles cross the bridge daily on average.
Note the nose piece/tension bolt adjuster seat - it has a double thickness of steel. The rivet here needs to be at least 14mm long, is not obtainable from BROOKS and proved very, very hard to find. However, after much searching I found McMaster-Carr in the US have them but they won't ship small orders abroad and you have to register to browse their catalogue. I asked a good friend to order them and send them on to me.

"1 Pack Copper Flat Head Solid Rivet 3/16" Diameter, 3/4" Length"
Cost about $7 for 25 rivets.
I bought a box each of ½" and ¾" long rivets, think I could give the left over rivets to friends here.
You might 'just' get away with using the ½" rivet but you can get an extra 1 or 2mm with the ¾" rivet.
Replaced one window in the house and re=used it in the workshop. Three more windows are framed in, but have to wait till spring. The siding is too brittle to mess with.
Replacing a North American indian statue that held a bow & arrow with this golden Inca on top of the fountain in Cuzco's Plaza de Armas created quite a stir. Read about it here: www.cuzcoeats.com/2012/08/inca-statue-raises-more-controv...

Replacing my 3-year-old Samsung Note II smartphone.
I’m in the market for its replacement. It’s not that I need a smartphone running a newer Android version – and don’t get me into all this rooting-discussion. I need a less laggy phone nowadays. Having just one home page didn’t help.
The phone gets so laggy at times that it’s becoming too difficult at times to transfer photos from my camera or even answer a call! In fact, that happened twice where I was swiping to answer the call and the screen had frozen! That’s when I began convincing myself that I need to burn some cash on a new smartphone.

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being rolled out to the general public in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015)

This photograph was taken at an altitude of Four hundred and nine metres, at 15:20pm on Tuesday 10th May 2016 between Prophet River and Muskwa off Alaska Highway route 97 in Northern British Columbia, Canada.
This is a juvenile American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus), a medium sized bear native to North America, and found in abundance in the Yukon territory and Alaska. Black bears have a small tail, up to nine inches long foot length and males can wigh up to 250kgs. On my trip I encountered several bears and, although it is strongly reccommended that you do not leave your vehicle to photograph these beautiful wild animals, needless to say, with care and caution I did just that to capture my photographs.

The beginnings of my landscaping projects. I am replacing all of the pine straw with red rock. While my mom was here we also got the walkway planter filled with plants and installed the trellises.
Portulaca (Moss Roses) will fill in to protect the roots of the clmatis, Henryi Clematis on the trellises, and Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil' (Sky Pencil Japanese Holly) make up the walkway plantings. In the pots are a couple hostas (Halcyon).
Tram tracks have a very limited number of years they can live. Contrary to most railway tracks, the changing of them is not easily done, as they are embedded into the street.
So this week the part between Goldbrunnenplatz and Gutstrasse is being replaced. Which means that they have around 48 hours to rip the old ones out, level the place again, put in the new drainage and install the new rails and start fixing them to the ground.
So it is a masterpiece of planning to get all the work done at the right point in time.

After replacing our former entertainment center with a row of bookcases, I decided to repurpose this obsolete piece of furniture into a 1:6 scale doll castle. Hubby and I moved it into my son's former bedroom, which has been converted into a guest and craft room. I am thinking of turning the central space (formerly used to hold the old, non-flatscreen TV set) into a castle Great Hall, and the three large cubicles on the left side into other rooms. The closed cabinets and shallow shelves will provide storage space for doll props and craft supplies. I will need to create some sort of wall covering in the open space behind the cabinet to hide the wallpaper. All in good time.

Bikes replace the car in Vietnam, they're used for everything. This doesn't even begin to show how much they can get on one, I witnessed a full family of 5 happily cruising down the street.
