Fontanka (Russian: Фонтанка) is a leftbranch of the river Neva, which flows through the whole of Central Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is 6.7 kilometres (4.2 mi) long; its width is up to 70 metres (230 ft), and its depth is up to 3.5 metres (11 ft). The Fontanka Embankment is lined with the former private residences of Russian nobility.
Nothing in particular.
A plastic marquee, an early 20th Century factory and an old pub wall, plus a curvaceous curve taking your eye's where they want to be.

This was a stretch of our journey along the North coast of Iceland towards the Westfjords, where the road was absolutely solitary except for a bulldozer that kept going on back and forth taking gravel from a quarry and doing repair of the badly damaged only road ialong this coast. Somehow I felt envy of the driver who worked in this unbelievably beautiful sport all by himself, but then of course I am fully aware of the brutal climate and the toll it takes.
Berlin is a lovely city but when I was there half the roads seemed to be in the process of being torn up or repaired in some way. Even trying to cross a street became a challenge for any pedestrian. When it rained, it was a small nightmare. However, it's nice to know they have money to maintain city's infrastructure unlike many North American cities.
Keeping workers safe is not a concern for many construction companies doing patchwork on the roads in Metro Manila, Philippines.
This Filipino road repair crew member shows a bit of theatrics for the camera.

MOC: Road Repair Tractor. A modern interpretation of the classic set 6647, Highway Repair from 1980.
Part of my "Updated Classics" series - an ever-growing number of sets I've re-interpreted in order to make them fit better with modern LEGO City vehicles and buildings.
The original set from 1980 is one of the earlier sets I own, and I remember liking it a lot because of the accessories. So my update obviously features a whole lot of accessories, which the trailer is full of.
I did put this one off for a while - because although LEGO has released a lot of tractor sets, I had never tried to build my own. Finally I figured, how hard could it be? And had a go. I based it loosely on some of the iconic smaller blue Ford tractors - and I'm surprised how well that worked.
All stickers are original LEGO stickers. Some have been cut to fit.
This road should finally be completed by Christmas 2009, not bad considering that it was washed away in March 2007...
About at the same time a year earlier I had stopped right where this flag stands. There was no flag there then, but a washout of the bank that reached a couple feet into the highway.
With that gap right in front of the van, I stepped out and immersed myself into photographing the scenery.
After that, me and my son stepped in the van and I had completely forgotten about the washout and drove right into it.
The front of the van was bottomed and trying to move it would likely have resulted in rolling down the bank.
I think it took us two hours if not more to slowly jack the vehicle to level and simultaneously rebuild the washout with boulders and dirt. Two of my sons did most of the rebuilding and we got some help from some tourist passersby.
It was a rather embarrassing event.
Here a year later, our repair looks washed out again, but the stonewall is still visible and holding.
Highway Maintenance just stuck a flag into the washout.
I'm looking forward to see if they'll have fixed it next time I come along this stretch.
At times there are hundreds of these flags on our highways and there is probably one department just dedicated to bulk-ordering them annually.
2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
A young Filipino man watches construction crews below working on a road repair project. Even though he is observing for safety, he himself is not dressed for nor practicing safety measures.
A road worker helps build and repair roads and motorways. You might also excavate trenches, lay drains, kerbs and pipes, and paint road markings.
Your typical duties could include:
road building, widening and resurfacing
repairing potholes and cracks
laying pavements and kerbs
maintaining roadside verges and central reservations
painting road markings
putting up crash barriers, road signs, traffic lights and street lamps
digging access trenches for cable and pipe laying
gritting roads and clearing snow in winter
You would do some of the work by hand, using picks and shovels. For heavier jobs, you operate power tools and plant machinery, for example pneumatic drills, 360-degree excavators and road rollers.
These pathethic people is subjected to lot of pollution dust and dirt. Priority should be given that the working enviornment is also good...
Working safely is very important, and you would be responsible for setting up warning signs and cones, as well as managing traffic and pedestrians close to the work site.
Well Derbyshire County Council are investing £40m in road repairs. So the residents of Hathersage are well pleased as they are getting the roads done in style with this state of the art road milling machine. Which despite it's camouflage has not gone unnoticed.
Well Bobby 'red socks' Dazzler is keen to impress the ladies and show his milling machine off so he has parked it outside Cintra's Tea Rooms while he goes inside for his tea break.
Parking restricted to 40 minutes no return within the hour.

My old set, which I was given when I was probably around four years old, meets my updated, slightly more detailed version. I feel obliged to mention two sticker-related pieces of information: a) The original set did feature black and yellow hazard stickers on the sides and back of the trailer, which mine is sadly missing - they were STAMPs (stickers across multiple parts) and disintegrated a long time ago. But - b) Note the surprisingly good condition of the vest sticker, which has survived a lot of playing over the years, and still sticks stubbornly to the part, more than 35 years after it was originally applied! That's pretty impressive.

to prevent water from seeping into the road concrete blocks , asphalt is poured into the joints. looks labor intensive as the work still needs to be done manually

Any self-respecting road repair worker needs to have a portable diesel generator.

I added an extra worker, which meant I could make use of both the new helmet/hairpieces from the LEGO Movie sets. And then I added the necessary accessories: Barriers, road signs, tools and toolbox, a chainsaw (LEGO's own design from an advent calendar a few years back), some floodlights and a diesel generator for those jobs that happen far away from power outlets.
