Dazhi Bridge -- providing The Neihu, Dazhi, Shilin, Neishuangxi and Waishuangxi areas with convenient and quick access to the city center.
"The reconstructed bridge, 823 m in length, inclusive of ramps, and 40 m in width, is a steel cable-stayed structure, featuring a two-way bridge roadway with three express lanes and one mixed lane. It has a steel pylon designed in a skewed fishing-tackle shape with a tower of about 60m in height. It is the first structure of its kind in the world. To enhance the whole view of the riverfront parks along the Keelung River, the piers at the ends of the bridge are carved to look like water ripples. The sidewalk is paved with blue and white granite slabs and the area is planted with shrubs. The peaceful Keelung River becomes more brilliant and more beautiful under colorful light in the evening. The construction work commenced on October 26, 1999. Phase I construction of the new bridge was completed and opened to traffic on June 23, 2002. The whole line was opened to traffic on January 29, 2003." ~ Taipei Maintenance Office of Public Works Department
We enjoyed our first breakfast in the comfort of the outdoor shade
structure this morning. We did have a last minute rebar bending party
to secure our cloth mounts, but that was it. The rest worked out just
as planned.
Loretto Chapel
1873
Santa Fe, NM
"When the Loretto Chapel was completed in 1878, there was no way to access the choir loft twenty-two feet above. Carpenters were called in to address the problem, but they all concluded access to the loft would have to be via ladder as a staircase would interfere with the interior space of the small Chapel.
Legend says that to find a solution to the seating problem, the Sisters of the Chapel made a novena to St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters. On the ninth and final day of prayer, a man appeared at the Chapel with a donkey and a toolbox looking for work. Months later, the elegant circular staircase was completed, and the carpenter disappeared without pay or thanks. After searching for the man (an ad even ran in the local newspaper) and finding no trace of him, some concluded that he was St. Joseph himself, having come in answer to the sisters' prayers.
The stairway's carpenter, whoever he was, built a magnificent structure. The design was innovative for the time and some of the design considerations still perplex experts today.
The staircase has two 360 degree turns and no visible means of support. Also, it is said that the staircase was built without nails—only wooden pegs. Questions also surround the number of stair risers relative to the height of the choir loft and about the types of wood and other materials used in the stairway's construction."
I thought as the weather wasn't great for taking shots of the entire observation dish I'd try & get some interesting shots of the structure?
Mechabrick was recently funded through Kickstarter. I've been busy designing vehicles and structures for potential use with the game.
Two structures that can be found in Neon City. One a simple apartment complex, with two penthouses on the top floor. The other is a tower run by a wealthy criminal organization who isn't afraid to flaunt their wealth and power.
A swift bike is parked out front. Nanofigure included for scale.

This structure necklace will make a statement and will enhance any look! It’s made out of recycled card boar which I coated with latex to make it water repellent (not waterproof) and then added some coats of gold leaf paper and linen in a stone beige colour, all sealed with a leather cord in a natural colour, it holds from a golden metal chain and it has a very easy to put and take off closure plus an extension chain to fit different neck sizes.
This is a short necklace and It’s very light.
Check my profile to see where you can find this and many more goodies!!
This outstanding structure is situated just north of the Main Street in Tupelo, Mississippi. It was built in 1904 by M. T. Lewman & Co. of Louisville using the designs of the prominent courthouse architect Patrick Henry Weathers. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
Tupelo is a city of roughly 36,000 people, making it the largest community in northeastern Mississippi. It is also the hometown of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley.

A little further down the road I came to the railroad crossing at Alpine. This interesting structure appears to be a cistern of sorts. It could have been built by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad which is the progenitor of the CSXT that currently is the name of the corporation. This location is at a creek where it empties into the James River, and the structure was apparently a water storage facility. More on that in another photo.
I didn't bother to change the camera from Bright Sunshine to Shade as I felt there was enough light to overcome the color cast that comes with the shadows. It's close, but nothing to really complain about.
No Corrections.
Trying to find a structure like "Strange Fruit"
I really like the lighting and background gradient in this one.

Structure. Site s37. A large site consisting of medium-sized mounds (presumably mudbrick), visible foundations of rectangular structures, and scattered architectural and agricultural masonry fragments. (El Anderin, Syria).
Put a staircase in front of me, especially outdoors, and I just have to go up. Going round and round to the top does nothing but make a person dizzy. By the time I got to the top of this 8 story structure, the world was spinning. Might as well put me on a merry go round....lol. Maybe I should walk rather than sprint up the next time?
So, I get up to the top and look around for photo opps...............nothing.
Just windy.
Going down was just as dizzying. Maybe I am just to old for "merry go rounds". *sigh*
