While I love revisiting places several times to allow for a deeper connection with the surroundings, I also get a lot of joy out of finding places new to me. Finding something that seems to have potential on google maps, or even just stumbling upon a place I've not seen before feels refreshing and will often get the creative juices flowing. Anyways, here's some water flowing in a valley somewhere near the French/Italian border, taken about three weeks ago.

Originally this was the Monongahela National Bank Building. In later years, it became the offices of Max Azen Company, a a clothing business founded by a Lithuanian Jewish immigrant.
After Max Azen Company left the building, it became Wood Street Station of Pittsburgh's light-rail system (the "T") while its upper floors became the Wood Street Galleries, an art gallery.

Truss bridge is a type of bridge whose main element is a truss which is a structure of connected elements that form triangular units. Truss is used because it is a very rigid structure and it transfers the load from a single point to a much wider area. Truss bridges appeared very early in the history of modern bridges and are economic to construct because they use materials efficiently.
Before Industrial revolution (19th century), almost all bridges in use were made of stone. But wood and iron can resist tension and compression better and stone and United States had much wood so they made many wooden bridges in those times and most of them were truss bridges. Town's lattice truss, a very simple variant of truss, was patented in 1820. First half of 19th century saw very few truss bridges made of iron although the first patent for an iron truss bride was issued to Squire Whipple in 1841. But metal slowly started to replace wood, and wrought iron bridges started appearing in the U.S. in the 1870s only to be replaced by steel in 1880s and 1890s. In time some places (like Pennsylvania) continued building truss bridges for long spans well into 1930s, while other (like Michigan) started building standard plan concrete girder and beam bridges.
From the first truss bridge, engineers experimented with different forms of truss bridges trying to find better shape and the one that will suit them for the particular problems. Because of that we have today many forms of truss bridges. Truss bridge can have deck (roadbed) on top (deck truss), in the middle (through truss), or at the bottom of the truss. If the sides of the truss extend above the roadbed but are not connected, it is called a pony truss or half-through truss.

CAERLAVEROCK CASTLE IS A MOATED TRIANGULAR CASTLE, FIRST BUILT IN THE 13TH CENTURY. IT IS LOCATED 11 KILOMETRES (6.8 MI) SOUTH OF DUMFRIES IN SOUTH-WEST SCOTLAND, ON THE EDGE OF THE CAERLAVEROCK NATIONAL NATURE RESERVE. CAERLAVEROCK WAS A STRONGHOLD OF THE MAXWELL FAMILY FROM THE 13TH CENTURY UNTIL THE 17TH CENTURY WHEN THE CASTLE WAS ABANDONED. IT WAS BESIEGED BY THE ENGLISH DURING THE WARS OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE, AND UNDERWENT SEVERAL PARTIAL DEMOLITIONS AND RECONSTRUCTIONS OVER THE 14TH AND 15TH CENTURIES. IN THE 17TH CENTURY, THE MAXWELLS WERE CREATED EARLS OF NITSHDALE, AND BUILT A NEW LODGING WITHIN THE WALLS, DESCRIBED AS AMONG "THE MOST AMBITIOUS EARLY CLASSICAL DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE IN SCOTLAND". IN 1640 THE CASTLE WAS BESIEGED FOR THE LAST TIME AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ABANDONED. ALTHOUGH DEMOLISHED AND REBUILT SEVERAL TIMES, THE CASTLE RETAINS THE DISTINCTIVE TRIANGULAR PLAN FIRST LAID OUT IN THE 13TH CENTURY.
TODAY, THE CASTLE IS IN THE CARE OF HISTORIC SCOTLAND AND IS A POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTION. IT IS PROTECTED AS A SCHEDULED MONUMENT, AND AS A CATEGORY A LISTED BUILDING.

This lived up to the mental picture of Wemyss Bay Station that I've had in my mind since I was a child and we got off the train here to catch the ferry for a day trip to Dunoon. I can't remember anything about Dunoon but I've always remembered the shapes and the light in this wonderful station.
