A steel structure embraces the Iidamaru Gokai Yagura, the five-storey guard tower of Kumamoto castle that was at risk of imminent collapse after a series of powerful earthquakes in April 2016. Much of the stone wall supporting the turret collapsed, leaving only about 8 stones standing, supporting a corner of the 5-ton tower and hence named the “miracle single stoned wall”.
The restoration of the main keep of Kumamoto-jo will be completed by 2019, but the full repair and restoration of the entire castle is scheduled for 2036! For the Iidamaru Gokai Yagura, photographs and historic documents will be used to assigned each stone a number and stack them back, accurately restoring the wall to its original state.
The Manali-Leh highway
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.
A shot from under the Fourth Rail Bridge looking up on some of the amazing structure and engineering.
This 186 year Old Cast Iron and Stone Bridge at Crayfish Bay St.Mark's is said to be the second oldest in the Caribbean, second only to Jamaica. It's beauty to behold even after almost two Centries, Can you imagine it in it's Glory Days ?
Das Bild entstand durch eine Fehlzündung, nach dem Spielen in ACDSee fand ichs aber irgendwie doch cool.

We are on the brink of moving past our obsession with rectangles and rigidity.
This will not be fuelled by an advance in engineering, but by a decrease in ego and a deepening of general awareness. The future thinking/forms of humans are soft, fluid, borderless and open to continual change.
Because our structures are reflections of our minds, as our minds change, so will our structures.
Dans ma quête pour la photo 16 de mon Projet 52, j'ai pensé choisir celle-ci. Elle est arrivée 2e.
L'édifice est situé sur la rue Sanguinet, au nord de René-Lévesque, à côté d'un pavillon de l'UQAM.

Searching for photo 16 of my Project 52, I took this picture. It came in 2nd place.
The building is located on Sanguinet street, north of René-Lévesque, next to a UQAM building.
