USSX 1244 is still alive and kicking at the old Granite City Steel plant. I'm not sure what activities are still happening around the plant but it appears that finished coiled steel is still being shipped. 1244 was as elusive as ever making a poke across Madison Street by TJ's Place - but not quite out of that shadow!

This ten metre high steel statue of a mermaid is called Arria, and was crafted by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott. Scott also created the now iconic giant Kelpies near Falkirk (you can probably see a similarity in the construction technique - see here for the Kelpies www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/21732678190/ )
It stands on ground near a cemetery (the easiest way to access it is via the boneyard), and overlooks the nearby motorway, making it a landmark visible to thousands of vehicles roaring past, and facing towards the main part of Cumbernauld. The poem "Watershed" by Jim Carruth winds its way around the lower segments of the sculpture.
We had some lovely, autumn light the day dad and I visited, so I snapped a bunch of pics from different angles, and took some videos walking around it too.
The Steel Bridge is a through truss, double-deck vertical-lift bridge across the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, United States, opened in 1912. Its lower deck carries railroad and bicycle/pedestrian traffic, while the upper deck carries road traffic (on the Pacific Highway West No. 1W, former Oregon Route 99W), and light rail (MAX), making the bridge one of the most multimodal in the world. It is the only double-deck bridge with independent lifts in the world[1] and the second oldest vertical-lift bridge in North America, after the nearby Hawthorne Bridge. The bridge links the Rose Quarter and Lloyd District in the east to Old Town Chinatown neighborhood in the west. (Wikipedia)
Portland, Oregon, USA.
Newcastle was once known as the steel city because of the large BHP steelworks that was the major employer of the area until it's closure in 1999. Since then, Newcastle has shaken off it's industrial image. It's still a working port mainly for the coal industry. This shot was taken from the suburb of Stockton looking towards Carrington (still an industrial part of town). The structure in the foreground is the ferry terminal. The ferry goes from Stockton to the heart of Newcastle. I was hoping for a bit of cloud to get some colour in the sky. These crept up and almost blocked out everything.

There's heavy fog and I only see the immense building take shape when I'm already close to it. The line between exploring abandoned places and infiltrating live sites is a thin one sometimes. The factory is down, but the power is still on and nothing has yet been shipped out.The size of the doors and windows is big enough to allow the fog to get inside, creating a strange atmosphere of muted silence and diffuse but bright light.
The coolest thing about exploring these places is the scale. Hard to capture, but to get an idea; these buckets are almost two stories high.
