  • The new Sauvie Island Bridge was assembled in Portland and floated down the Willamette River and Multnomah Channel, then guided into position alongside the old 1950 bridge on December 28, 2007. The original Parker truss bridge (green paint, background) built in 1950 with a 200ft (61m) main span, was replaced with this tied-arch design with a 360ft (110m) span, after cracks were discovered in 2001. The new bridge was opened in 2008. Contractor: Max J Kuney Construction Company; Owner: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Portland Oregon USA.

  • Mural of Packy - the Asian elephant at the Oregon Zoo in Portland (14 April 1962 - 9 February 2017) - marked with paint in preparation for the addition of windows in the 1892 Packer-Scott building in Portland's Old Town/Chinatown.  The historic building became the headquarters of Mercy Corps in 2009, after a $25 million renovation designed by THA Architecture.  This mural of Packy was painted in 1990 by North Pacific Sign & Design.   Many Packy fans visited the building and photographed it from the Burnside Bridge before the mural was lost.  This photo was taken on 17 April 2008, three days after the real Packy celebrated his 46th birthday.

  • Scenic view of the Willamette River, bank full from spring snowmelt.  Looking south from George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego.  The concrete structure in the river was a log hoist built in 1905 by Crown Willamette Paper Company and operated until the 1920s.  More recently, the private owner abandoned an attempt to improve it as a residence and today it lies abandoned.

  • Life in Huaráz, below the distant Huandoy summits and the west face of Huascarán Norte (North) 6,664m.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.

  • Snow-Reed Bridge (1925) is the oldest bridge in Fort Lauderdale, and the last operational swing span bridge surviving in South Florida. In 1989, 64 years after construction, it was designated a historic landmark and renamed from the Southwest 11th Avenue Bridge to Snow-Reed Bridge, for the two mayors whose terms spanned its 1924-5 construction. The bridge spans the North Fork of the New River and was constructed on the north-south alignment of SW 11th Avenue, connecting the neighborhoods of Riverside and Sailboat Bend. The structure is a Warren Pony Swing Metal Truss – the Pony part being simply a through truss that lacks overhead cross-bracing between the top chords. Nice cantilevered sidewalks appear to have been added at some point. The bridge has no practical vertical clearance, while it obstructs a navigable river, so an on-site bridge operator is required 24/7. A one-year major renovation ending in 2010 added a new octagonal-shaped bridge tender control house while retaining and restoring the original bridge tender’s house. Notable also is this old bridge’s vulnerability to sea-level rise; its swing mechanics are set just inches above sea water tide levels, so the mechanics are repeatedly submerged in salt water. Broward County, Florida, USA.

  • Woven wire baskets from South Africa. This style of hand-woven basket made from telephone wire is a contemporary development of the old craft of grass weaving. This is a traditional hand craft and artistic expression of the Zulu tribe from South Africa. In the new era of wireless communications this is a great example of recycling or reuse where a redundant material can be repurposed as the sole ingredient of beautiful folk art.

  • Original 1911 concrete light pole showing spalling of the concrete adjacent to corroded reinforcing steel. In most cases, this can be repaired and renovated very effectively, without compromising the strength or structural integrity of the pole. This is a common form of repair in old reinforced-concrete structures. While these original poles were retained, the post top lighting was upgraded in 1924 from the original single white globes to the current polygonal lantern-style shades, reminiscent of gaslights, thanks to the vision of Parks Superintendent Emanuel T. Mische. Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon, USA.

  • Snow-Reed Bridge (1925) is the oldest bridge in Fort Lauderdale, and the last operational swing span bridge surviving in South Florida. In 1989, 64 years after construction, it was designated a historic landmark and renamed from the Southwest 11th Avenue Bridge to Snow-Reed Bridge, for the two mayors whose terms spanned its 1924-5 construction. The bridge spans the North Fork of the New River and was constructed on the north-south alignment of SW 11th Avenue, connecting the neighborhoods of Riverside and Sailboat Bend. The structure is a Warren Pony Swing Metal Truss – the Pony part being simply a through truss that lacks overhead cross-bracing between the top chords. Nice cantilevered sidewalks appear to have been added at some point. The bridge has no practical vertical clearance, while it obstructs a navigable river, so an on-site bridge operator is required 24/7. A one-year major renovation ending in 2010 added a new octagonal-shaped bridge tender control house while retaining and restoring the original bridge tender’s house. Notable also is this old bridge’s vulnerability to sea-level rise; its swing mechanics are set just inches above sea water tide levels, so the mechanics are repeatedly submerged in salt water.

  • Symbols of faith, Huaráz.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.

  • The active Shark Island Lighthouse (steel lattice tower on left) stands just to seaward of the historic 1903 Shark Island Lighthouse (right), located atop the rugged granite peninsula that provides natural shelter to the tiny harbor of Luderitz.  The old lighthouse is a 12m (40 ft) square tower with attached 1-story keeper's house.  The lantern has been removed and the building has been made available for overnight accommodations, offering adventurous tourists the opportunity the stay in this genuine light house steeped in the maritime history of Namibia's rugged coastline, notorious for its harsh weather.

  • Juxtaposition of old and new; this viewpoint draws a lighthearted connection between the strong influence of Boston's historic past and its future. The figure is the statue of Colonel William Prescott, who gave the legendary command: "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes", at Bunker Hill Monument (statue inscribed June 17, 1775). The colonel's finger appears to touch the $100 million Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge across the Charles River, completed in 2005.  The award-winning cable-stayed bridge, built as part of the Big Dig, has quickly become a modern-day icon for Boston.

  • Woven wire baskets from South Africa. This style of hand-woven basket made from telephone wire is a contemporary development of the old craft of grass weaving. This is a traditional hand craft and artistic expression of the Zulu tribe from South Africa. In the new era of wireless communications this is a great example of recycling or reuse where a redundant material can be repurposed as the sole ingredient of beautiful folk art.

  • Kelly Butte Reservoir, the 25-million gallon underground reinforced concrete reservoir under construction atop Kelly Butte in Southeast Portland more than doubles the capacity of the original 10-million gallon steel tank dismantled at this location.  The new Kelly Butte Reservoir (online 2015) will allow Portland to comply with federal LT2 rules that condemned the century-old open drinking water reservoirs at Mount Tabor Park and Washington Park.  The contractor for the Kelly Butte Reservoir Project is Hoffman Construction Company.  Progress photo January 5, 2014.

  • Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) in the Mojave Desert, is ironically inundated by surface rain water runoff after a heavy rain storm in Joshua Tree National Park, California.  Several studies have been done on these centuries-old trees.  In a current study, ecologists from the US Geological Survey linked climate change to population decline and are modeling the impacts of climate change on their survival, and the possibility that 90 percent will be wiped out of their current range (and out of this national park) in 60 to 90 years.

  • Near the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site (where the 2.3-million year-old fossil Australopithecus africanus - nicknamed "Mrs. Ples" - was found in 1947), a Highveld summer sunset is reflected in the pond of a pure spring near Tonquani Kloof in the ancient quartzites of the Magaliesberg mountain range northwest of Johannesburg.  This area has been occupied by humans for more than 2 million years.  The range itself has a much longer geological history that began as sedimentary deposits that were later consolidated and tilted under the forces of a massive upwelling of molten magma.  This view is to the north.  South Africa. Nikon F4, 28-70/3.5-4.5D. Kodak EPP.

  • Hundred-year-old water distribution control valves at Gatehouse 1, Reservoir 1, Mount Tabor Park, Portland.  Photo taken 28 March 2008.  Soon after this photo was taken, one valve was overhauled, one was replaced by a modern valve, and the platform was wrapped in a reinforced security cage, making this image impossible to repeat.  The image was made at night; the vavles illuminated with two lights, filtered with blue and orange gels respectively.

  • Hundred-year-old water distribution control valves at Gatehouse 1, Reservoir 1, Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon, USA. In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of the Massachusetts-based landscape design firm Olmsted Brothers recommended that a city park be developed at Mount Tabor.  Portland Parks Superintendent Emanuel T. Mische, who had worked at Olmsted Brothers, consulted with Olmsted on the park layout and integration of the reservoirs into the park design.
