This is one of the three Roman aqueducts of Mérida, classified as UNESCO heritage in 1993. The photo was taken from Avenida Felipe Corchero, which passes right underneath the aqueduct.

agp - T3 [5 of 7]

T3 - the "Short" tunnel, note the curve & wall beyond.
That lump of concrete is reputed to be the mounting spigot for either a mortar [Blacker Bombard or similar] or machine gun, operated by the "Home Guard" and dating from WW2.
It made a convenient seat for a quick drink and biscuit break, whilst the members of the group collected themselves together.

As it was on the track alignment, it had to be demolished during the WHR's relaying. There are several others in the vicinity.

This wonderful building is the old city library. I wish that I had left myself enough time for a courtesy call; one of my early professional mentors worked here - albeit several decades ago.

Dumbarton Bridge, California

nobody@ipernity.com (slgwv) — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 20:49:14 +0000

slgwv has posted:

The Dumbarton Bridge is the southernmost highway bridge crossing San Francisco Bay, carrying California SR 84 between Menlo Park/Palo Alto (on the west) and Fremont (on the east). (Yes, this is one of the major routes into Silicon Valley!) The present bridge dates from 1982, but has been upgraded over the years. It replaced an original, built in 1929, that had a central lift span. That span was removed as an obstacle to navigation in the late 80s. The inset shows interpretive signs at the western abutment. The painted bird silhouettes are there because the bridge lies in a wildlife refuge--the flats on either side of the Bay here are all protected waterfowl habitat. It's an incongruous juxtaposition with the high-tech metropolis!

The name Dumbarton actually isn't official, but comes from Dumbarton Point on the east side of the bay, which was named after the Scottish original. Unsuspecting tourists will hear a tall tale, though, that there were two brothers Barton, one of whom was called the "dumb" Barton, and it's named for him. I don't know how many people fall for it!

Watching the Barge leave

The new Batemans Bay bridge (in the background) has been largely built with the assistance of a very large barge carrying giant cranes to lift the concrete sections into place. With the main construction now almost finished, the barge recently departed again. Another of my photos is in a PiP, as is an excellent drone photo taken by "South Coast Pix" and posted on Facebook with approval for sharing.

HFF, stay safe and have a great weekend, everyone.

Lock 29 on the Kennet & Avon Canal - the start of the 16 lock staircase at Caen Hill.

(Locks 22 to 50 take around 5 hours to navigate - good job there is a mooring area at the top which can take about 24 full length narrow boats)
