2 Corinthians 5:17
American Standard Version
17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
From the passenger seat on a stormy day, while driving through some road construction.

This is one of many photos I’ve taken from the passenger seat as we drive twice each week to my neurofeedback appointments. This practice of seeing, appreciating and capturing my surroundings from the moving car can sometimes be very helpful for me.
The former existence of a rich monastery, the only Cistercian monastery in a wide area, the still standing early Gothic chapel, valuable in terms of building history, remains of the outer and inner monastery walls, the foundations of the monastery and the church from 1180 ff (partially visible here in the meadow) and the baroque building by Peter Thumb from 1726, but also the knowledge of the history, the meaning and the essence of the monastery are the really special things. They make up the cultural and historical memorial and the special flair of the valley.
It is a fundamental flaw of the entire road construction project that all of this has been not taken into account in the planning and documents was ignored and not included in any consideration.
Status until now:
The old chapel ("Hospitalkapelle" and "Leutkirche") - remains of the cistercian abbey Tennenbach, founded 1158, secularized 1806, subsequently abrupted.
Now threatened by road plans of the county council:
strong widening, guard rails etc. in the:
- landscape protection area
- water protection area
- conservation area
- biotope protection area.
My country is developing. After all, corrupt politicians are sent to prisons for help in extorting nearly 50 billion dollars from the state budget. The amount I mentioned is not a mistake. We are building the country from scratch.

We have two seasons in Alaska - "winter" and "construction". Here we are headed to Valdez on the old Richardson Highway - and as we approached Worthington Glacier, it looked like the two seasons had combined into one.
Georgia has many spectacular landscapes. But also in between, sights attracted me when I wasn't prepared and only had my mobile phone ready. This one shows a formerly underdeveloped valley with a large Chinese-led road construction project running through. These guys even worked on Sunday.
This summer has seen a big uptick in tourism here in Alaska. I thought that we would see a slight increase over the past two years - but I have been amazed at the number of bikers and recreational vehicles seen jamming our roadways.
When I say "recreational vehicles" - I'm not talking about small campers - I'm talking about huge motorhomes towing cars, and most of them are a part of so called "caravans", (which in itself is costly).
On the other side of the coin - I have never seen so many motorcycles. While it is a much cheaper way to see our great state - it is not the most comfortable way to travel, especially when mother nature decides to dish out cloudy and rainy weather every other day, like she has this year.
In this photo you see two bikers who passed us at a high rate of speed - only to be stopped by road construction, thereby negating any time they may have gained in racing over the rugged road surface.

When I moved to Alaska 40 years ago - the Alaska highway was over 1500 miles of rough gravel. Prudent speed then was about 15 MPH towing an RV. Some sections of the roads surface were coal. When it rained and we traveled over that coal, our vehicle and travel trailer became black - but on the positive side - the noise was less, and we could actually get up to around 30 MPH. In those days it was a long and challenging trip. Today people cruise along at 55 to 65 MPH, and grumble when they come upon a section of road like what you see in this image. Usually it is construction and repair, and at most is 20 to 25 miles in length.
Hubby and I never complain with beautiful scenery surrounding us like what you see in this image. We have traveled over the Alaskan Highway 55 times in our 40 years in the far north - and will do so again this summer. Hope to see some Flickr friends out there.
A little road construction on N. Commercial Street.....mixing the old with the new. Hope they kept some of the bricks! Trinidad,Colorado. 6.3.2015.
Came across construction equipment used for highway widening

Couldn't help zooming in through the barbed wire overpass fence to the scene below. Looks kind of confusing to me!

Don't bother washing vehicles at this time of year in rural Alaska. Between road construction, and rain - just forget it until you hit the paved roads around the bigger cities.

With spring arriving early in Alaska - bridge building is already taking place. Here you see the worker's driving the pilings into the river that will support the roadway. A beautiful sight for winter weary eyes.
If you are driving north this summer - you will encounter this scene just a few miles east of Tok, Alaska. But don't be at all concerned, because to the right you will see a paved "go around".
