The Folsom Local makes its way out of Roseville with UP 1004 on point. This GP60 still wears its Cotton Belt paint and makes for a familiar scene in Roseville as it passes the Tower Theater.

The Skylon Tower located in Niagara Falls, Canada, stands at 520 feet from the street level and 775 feet from the bottom of the falls. The elevator can carry passengers to the top observation deck in 52 seconds. The tower also holds two restaurants - the lower Revolving Dining Room and the upper Summit Suite Buffet. The Revolving Dining Room revolves once every hour. Good thing it is slow moving - dinner and revolving don't always end well...

The picture shows tower no. 31 of the Prussian semaphore system located in Entrup near Nieheim in Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany. The Prussian Semaphore System was a telegraphic communications system used between Berlin and the Rhine Province from 1832 to 1849. It could transmit administrative and military messages by optical signal over a distance of nearly 550 kilometres (340 mi). The telegraph line comprised 62 stations each furnished with a signal mast with six cable-operated arms. The stations were equipped with telescopes that operators used to copy coded messages and forward them to the next station. Although electric telegraphy made the system obsolete for military use, simplified semaphores were still used for railway signals. (see Wikipedia)
The tower was built in the first half of XVI century in a small islet at the mouth of the river Temo, and protected the anchorage of the commercial vessels which at that time could not enter anymore the river and reach the medieval port of Bosa which was obstructed. Bosa (in north-west Sardinia) was an important commercial city since medieval times and was subjected to the raids of the Moors. The tower continued to be operative until 1846.
ITALIANO
Situata su un’isoletta alla foce del fiume Temo la torre costituiva nel ‘500 una valida difesa per i vascelli commerciali che ormeggiavano nei pressi, essendo ormai irraggiungibile il porto medievale di Bosa. Assolse funzioni doganali, sanitarie e di guardia del porto, con autorizzazione alla riscossione dei diritti di ancoraggio. Era in contatto ottico con le torri Argenitna e Columbargia, il Castello Serravalle e la guardia di Capo Marrargiu.
La Torre fu edificata nella prima metà del XVI secolo e rimase attiva sino al 1846.

A quick monochrome photography challenge between trains. Half an hour time frame to see what I could capture.
Arched Tower by artist Walid Siti at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAWNY)
The work references both the ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia and the early Islamic minaret in the city of Samara. The artist left Iraq in 1984 as a political refugee and now lives and works in London. His works serve as metaphors for the human struggle to reach the top.
Late 19th/early 20th century water tower not far from the railway station in Metz. It appears to be another example of Romantic period German architecture from Metz's years of annexation to Germany at this time. It is a really striking landmark at any rate!
Ornate towers on the ramparts of Buda Castle. The government is charging tourists to come up here, as a source of funding for restoration of these towers.
Probably the thing I photograph the most in my home town, Tower bridge is so iconic that I'm always trying to find new viewpoints and this one is a little unusual :-)
