Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2010.

Look into my eyes. You'll find a number of punctuations.

There is a 'period'..because all the hopes halt in case of me.

There is an 'exclamatory sign', too....'cause I can't understand the reason.

And there's surely a big 'interrogative sign'...at least I've the right to ask 'why'..don't I?

The daughter of a woman engaged in paving the road by melting asphalt. The children grow up amid the hazards of toxic smokes produced by melted bitumen.

Taken on US 31 in Petoskey, Michigan.

Us Route 31 is being moved two lanes further from the lake in this section that runs along cliffs due to erosion and they are adding a third lane. They were paving the new road bed when I took this shot.

I took this shot for several reasons. I don't see many Western Star trucks in SW Ohio although they are becoming a bit more common. In Michigan, it is much more common to see them. Also, I've never seen semis that have 42 wheels anywhere outside of Michigan. I think they are required because of stricter axle weight loads which are intended to keep the wear on roads down. The other thing I don't recall seeing outside of Michigan are these "live" Red River brand trailers. I believe they have something like a conveyor belt or screw arrangement that moves the asphalt down the length of the trailer to the paver that is behind it.

Taken out of the car window while being stuck in traffic on Glendale Milford road at the on ramp of I-75 in the Glendale neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.

There was a line of fine looking dump trucks waiting to unload. If I'd been more on my game, I would have captured several, but I was fortunate enough to get this one while it was unloading. I was struck by how big the front tires these newer and bigger dump trucks are running. I'll bet they cost a bundle.

Road crews with steam rollers pose for a photograph in this undated AZO postcard. Reverse is blank.

It rips the road up for repaving.

They could have just swept it :)-

This beautiful Mack dumptruck holds granular ashphalt that's fed into the paving machine. This one looks brand-spanking new. The product will soon make this beauty look like the road itself.

There is a lot to see in this 1935 photo of Brown and S. Division Streets in Downtown Peekskill. 2015 saw the complete reconstruction of this road but this photo shows the process of 80 years before. The only machine used then was the typical steamroller as seen to the right of the road crew.

This photo also shows the original location of the Woolworths store before it moved further north on Division Street (now the location of Westchester Community College Extension Site) and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Office above. This building (The Hermax Blg.) became Tuller’s Department Store on this corner and the Met Life office became the Salvatore Gambino Law Office. Now, this section of the Hermax Building is occupied by The Hudson Room Restaurant and performance space.

Two other important points of interest in this photo is to the immediate right can be seen the then Tuttle Brothers store before it moved up Brown Street and across from the Paramount Theater. This part of he “Dempsey Building” is The Peekskill Coffee House.” The other interesting observation is in the background portion of the photo that shows the Whelan Drug Store and soda fountain. This building on the corner of Division and Central Avenue was torn down as part of the Urban Renewal activity in the 1960’s-70’s.

See the notes.

A street, Louis Ave, was just paved and looks good. This street is in north St. Catharines.

Elm Street is being resurfaced now that streetcar track construction and utility work is complete.

A portion of 14th Street is being resurfaced.

Big road paving equipment, near the elementary school. Lots of road work going on right now in this area.

Road resurfacing with asphalt premix al the HDB Housing Estate along Telok Blangah Heights.

Ok, so the Michael's at College Park did not have what I needed, so I thought it would be easy to go to the Blossom Hill and Snell one, well that was wrong. I was in the wrong lane, so I thought I'd turn into Bloom Plaza to go out at the traffic light onto Snell and go that way, well the driveway was closed, so I had to go back this way to get out, at least a cop for a bit was directing the traffic out of the driveway of this center.

Now, who on earth would pave a road during rush hour, especially on some of the major roads around in the area. I just don't get it, I spent over a half hour, maybe more trying to get out of here, and to the Michael's. Needless to say I did not dare go back to Blossom Hill, I took Snell to Branham Lane instead, just to avoid Snell/Blossom Hill altogether.

Came back from a ride in Oro and seen this vintage goody and thought it was worth a snap...
