The old road into Sequoia National Park in California's southern Sierra Nevada mountains. Now bypassed, roadbuilders in the 1930's were more prone to serendipity. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop, texture and Topaz filters.

All viewers r requested to consider it as a PHOTO ART, cause I love to process the photographs with my wide open imagination. And I'm not a PHOTO JOURNALIST, I'm a PROUD PHOTO ARTIST.

The women called road builder" like ants go to the river to look for pebbles to rebuild crumbling roads very often in this region of the Himalayas.
Les femmes qui construisent les routes appelées road builder;comme des fourmis vont à la rivière chercher des galets afin de reconstruire les routes qui s'écroulent tres souvent dans cette région de l'himalaya.
After Norfolk Southern Rock Train 62Q dropped off his cars at
Dunn Roadbuilders, he pulled down to Dragon Siding with light power to wye his train. NS 9849 (D9-44CW) NS 3647 (ET44AC) NS 1001 (SD70ACe) NS 4534 (AC44C6M) and NS 4214 (AC44C6M) was the power for this train.
Try to pronounce the Dutch word 'schaftwagentje'. It poses the same difficulties I guess as the name of a town called "Scheveningen'.
Anyway, roadbuilders, gardeners store their stuff in these kind of little wagons and have their coffee-or lunch breaks.
Ordinairy objects get very interesting when part of a lightpainting image and convey a special mood.

Some more shots of this rare beauty. This photo shows the natural habitiat of this bird as they live mostly on industrial sites and gas stations..... Like the pattern of the stones in the background (but I'm a roadbuilder myself).

Another vintage (1950s/60s?) jigsaw picked up on our travels. Again the colours are still bright and cheery, which is more than can be said for the subject matter! Beats me why the maker thought this would make a good subject for a jigsaw, but it is pretty typical of its time. Again complete, so all in all it provided a fun few hour's nostalgic puzzling.

When you approach a Cone Zone, don’t just see orange. Consider the faces behind the Cone Zone.
They are firefighters, paramedics and police officers. They are traffic controllers, road builders and maintenance workers. They are tow truck drivers, utility technicians and landscapers.
They watch our backs, come to our aid when we’re in need, and help keep our communities operating smoothly. Yet, all that stands between them and our vehicles are brightly coloured markers. Cones aren’t totally protecting them, though (although the bright little guys do their best). You are.

Will Cummings Highway
Federal Aid Project No.1
Will Cummings - County Judge - Pioneer Road Builder
Will Cummings was a Chattanooga Judge who was also an early pioneer for improving the roads in and out of Chattanooga. A decade or so after he helped to secure funding for the road at the base of Lookout Mountain at the Tennessee River, The Tennessee Legislature named the highway in his honor. A few years after that, in 1937, this plaque was placed, embedded in the rock above the highway where I assume nobody could ever actually see it. In fact, I had driven through here perhaps a dozen times and never seen it when ine day I just lucked into it. (See the first photo linked below for more details on that!)
Looking S-SW from a lookout near Mt York (Blue Mountains, NSW) across Little Hartley and the Hartley Valley.
Not far from here an historic marker commemorates the first crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1815. From Mt York, there are several pioneer routes down into the rich pasturelands of the Central Tablelands and Central West of NSW, although these days they are all just navigable by foot or mountain bike (Google for more info on Berghoffers Pass, Lawsons Long Alley, Lockyers Pass, Cox's Road).
Mt York is also a popular rock climbing area that was developed in the mid 1970s by the Sydney Rock Climbing Club and as you can see from this image, the views from the clifftop are just divine! There are dozens of climbs of various grades, mostly at 30 to 40 metre pitch length, including classics like Aunty Jack, a Grade 19 wall climb.
