This is the inside of the CP sleeper 'Neville' which is only open to the public on select occasions. It is a 12 + 1 sleeper (12 sections and 1 compartment) the standard configuration for Pullman heavyweight cars.
Crews "weld" the new pipe sections together. We're replacing the corroded steel culverts, which are 40 years old, with thick, rubberized plastic culverts.
The Lake Mary trail received significant damage. Sections of the trail are missing and other areas are heavily eroded.
On Thursday, September 12, 2013, Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge experienced a dam breach at Havana Ponds located just north of 56th Avenue and east of Havana Street. Due to heavy rainfall, the dam was impacted from Denver storm water upstream. The breach caused damage to roads, trails, and other infrastructure on the Refuge, however the Refuge was an asset in flood prevention to the surrounding communities.
Water was detained by an old railroad embankment, 1 ½ miles downstream from Havana Ponds, which held despite not being designed for this type of event. The potential for the embankment to fail created a threat to communities further downstream and residents were evacuated in the Irondale neighborhood to the northwest of the Refuge. Roads bordering the northwest portion of the Refuge were closed, to include a section of Highway 2 and 96th Avenue.
The Refuge closed at 10:00 am to all public visitation until an assessment of damages could be made and it is deemed safe to resume visitation. Refuge staff were on site, monitoring the ongoing situation around the clock. Constant communication occurred between Refuge staff, Commerce City and Adams County emergency operations centers.
1907 postmarked postcard view of Union Station and the Union Depot Hotel at Vincennes, Indiana. This view is looking west. According to the 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Vincennes, the first floor of both building wings was dedicated to baggage rooms, telegraph and other offices, a saloon, a lunch room, a dining room and a barbershop. The hotel rooms were on the second floor. The railroad in the foreground was the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railway. Two other railroads ran parallel to one another through much of the city and crossed the B & O SW at this location. They were the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad and the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad.
The message on the back side of this postcard was sent by CBM to Miss Etta McFadden in Bainbridge, Indiana. The message reads, “This is where I spend most of my time now days [sic]. Working as T. C. Working every night. Like work pretty well….Send mail in care of T C.”
From the collection of Jane Lyle.

This port town is part of the Costa de la Luz, a section of the Atlantic coast where pine trees and marshlands extend down to the sandy beaches.
Legend has it that this seaside town, the birthplace of the poet Rafael Alberti, was founded by an Athenian commander. However, the earliest historical records date from the Islamic conquest. The town reached its high point of prosperity after the Reconquista under Alfonso X ( 13th century) and under the rule of the Dukes of Medinaceli. In the centuries that followed, its relationship with the Atlantic Ocean and with maritime expeditions (including the discovery of the Americas) led to it becoming the seat of the Captaincy General of the Ocean. Thanks to its wealth of architecture, the entire town has been declared a Property of Cultural Interest.
The town itself developed and flourished in the 16th to 18th centuries, with a plethora of Baroque buildings, such as the splendid Casa de los Leones. This mansion was built by one of the many merchants who came from the Cantabrian coast to do business in the port.

Section 6 of the Saxon Shore Way, a long distance footpath running from Gravesend in Northwest Kent to Rye in East Sussex. Sections one through to five completed. This section being 23 miles and took approximately eight hours and takes one through some of the most beautiful and spectacular landscapes Kent has to offer. Today was all about documenting this fabulous walk with a camera rather than a photo shoot.
Langdon Hole with Dover Eastern Docks, The Camber and the Southern Break Water.
Midday, early afternoon.
Cresting the ridge reveals an area of old, collapsed cliff and an ancient hanging valley giving rise to Langdon Bay. But beneath your feet are the Langdon Hole Deep Shelters and Communication tunnels. These two sets of tunnels were constructed during WW2. They appear to be satellite sites for the communication facility beneath Dover Castle. They are often referred to as 'DUMPY A' (Long Hill) and 'DUMPY B' (Langdon Hole). Both sets of tunnels have a similar construction of steel shuttering with iron girders for support, typical of military tunnels of this period, and consist of two long parallel tunnels connected at either end, each having two exits. The main difference between the two sets of tunnels is that the Langdon ones have two inclined entrances, whereas the Long Hill tunnels are dug into the hillside, and the lower entrance is an adit in the lower part of the hill. The Long Hill tunnels, located on a grassy down above Buckland, were open for many years but the entrance was covered with chalk in around 2001, when the hillside was landscaped and access is no longer possible. The Langdon Hole tunnels, in the rear of the natural dip in the landscape, known as 'Langdon Hole', on the cliffs between Dover and St. Margaret's, have suffered from being open to vandals throughout the 1970s, and much of the inner lining has been destroyed. However, many interesting features, such as ventilation pipes and 1940s graffiti still remain.
Various sections of the Conwy Town Walls . Many have been modified over the years, when roads were built and for other reasons.
Conwy's town walls are a medieval defensive structure around the town of Conwy in North Wales. The walls were constructed between 1283 and 1287 after the foundation of Conwy by Edward I, and were designed to form an integrated system of defence alongside Conwy Castle. The walls are 1.3 km (0.81 mi) long and include 21 towers and three gatehouses. The project was completed using large quantities of labourers brought in from England; the cost of building the castle and walls together came to around £15,000, a huge sum for the period. The walls were slightly damaged during the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr in 1401, but political changes in the 16th century reduced the need to maintain such defences around the town. The fortifications were treated sympathetically during the development of the road and railway systems in Conwy during the 19th century and survived largely intact into the modern period. Today the walls form part of the UNESCO world heritage site administered by Cadw. Historians Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham describe the defences as "one of the most impressive walled circuits" in Europe.
During the 19th century some changes to Conwy's town walls were made in order to accommodate a new railway line and roads. The engineer Thomas Telford built two new gateways into the walls in 1826 to accommodate the traffic from the new suspension bridge across the river Conwy. In 1848 Robert Stephenson constructed the Chester to Holyhead railway line, which ran through Conwy; unusually for the period, attempts were made to sensitively protect the appearance of the medieval fortifications and the entrance for the railway through the walls on the south side of the town was built in the form of a mock-Gothic archway, while an exit tunnel was dug under the western walls.
Interest in the town walls grew and in the 19th century one of the towers was restored and part of the wall-walk opened up for tourists. The walls were architecturally surveyed for the first time between 1928 and 1930, with the results published in 1938. The town walls were leased from Conwy's local authority by the Ministry of Works in 1953, and a concerted effort began to conserve and protect the fortifications. Many of the houses and buildings which had grown up against the walls since the 14th century were removed in an effort to improve the appearance of the walled circuit and to assist in conservation and archaeological work, and one of the 19th-century gateways inserted by Telford was demolished in 1958. Arnold J. Taylor, a prominent historian of the Edwardian castles, conducted extensive academic work on the history and architecture of Conwy's walls during the 1950s and 1960s, adding to their prominence.
Today Conwy's walls are managed by the Welsh heritage organisation Cadw as a tourist attraction; they form a popular walk around the town, although not all of the walls are safe for tourists to use. The walls require ongoing maintenance; in the financial year between 2002 and 2003, for example, this cost £145,000 (£184,000 in 2010 terms). The walls were declared part of a UNESCO world heritage site in 1986 and are classed as a grade 1 listed building and hold scheduled monument status. They are considered by historians Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham to be "one of the most impressive walled circuits" in Europe.

A rare opportunity, here, in France.
Sections are dismantled and spreaded everywhere though the global traditional orchester-shape remains. this way each musician could play it's own at-will-repeat patterns as free as he could (I think).
The only pack remaining is percussions who will ostinately pull the whole construction.

Section through the Mandelbrot-Julia set, defined as the points (z,c) in C^2 where z_{n+1}=z_n^2+c does not diverge for z_0=z. This section corresponds to a random hyperplane through the origin. The color denotes the magnitude of the smallest iterate.
Looking down at a section of the Rose Garden. The main beds of the Rose Garden were restored to match the historical design and feature the red, white and pink blooms of Mary Thompson's original color scheme. The garden, constructed in 1905 and 1906, was symmetrically arranged around the central pathway. The Rose Garden is planted with over 2,600 white, pink and red roses. The curving beds and climbing roses grown on cedar posts give the impression of informality when viewed from the summerhouse, or "Belvedere", at the south end. In the distance, on the north end, you see the tall, iron observatory tower which overlooks the garden. Located at the Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park, 151 Charlotte Street in Canandaigua, NY. (206)
Brantley Thames, Water Resources Section chief, listens to Emily Carr, Soils and Dam Safety Section chief give a personal testimony of how her parents never discouraged her when she had an interest in becoming an engineer. Carr said her mom was a science major and always encouraged her to learn. (USACE photo by Lee Roberts)
