Aquatic hub

The cruise ship looks a bit out of place … but rest assured it’s right at home in Flåm harbour, one endpoint of the cruises along Norway’s Sognefjord.

Spanning generations

While San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge gets a lot of attention, the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge is no less visually impressive. The section you see above opened in 2013.

Glittering bridge

If Lilliput had streetcars

Looking down at San Francisco from Coit Tower, the streetscape can seem make-believe … if you use the right special effect in iPhoto, anyway.

Interesting destination

Check out the front roll sign … That looks like it could be an interesting bus ride! Spotted in San Francisco at the beginning of the month.

It’s good to have choices. 🙂
EDIT: Looking at this post again, it’s really FOUR methods of transportation: Cyclists are so ubiquitous in Amsterdam, I literally didn’t notice them in the top photo!

Line No. 7

Mobile home of sorts

Horse and buggy

Captured these images almost a year ago now.

Broadway-Lafayette St. station

Ah, the New York City Subway. I admire your efficiency. Snapped this one about two years ago on my last visit to the Big Apple.

Putting things back on track
Calgary Transit workers remove debris from the LRT tunnel north of Victoria Park/Stampede station that was submerged to the ceiling during the height of the flooding.

Calgary Transit’s downtown infrastructure took it on the chin during the record flooding over the last week.
Here are some photos I snapped of the damage and of the work being done to get things moving again.

Repairs on fast track
More work done near Victoria Park/Stampede station. And yes, those tracks are really suspended in mid-air!

Ballast carried away
Floodwaters carried away the ballast beneath the platform at Victoria Park/Stampede station.

Tunnel team
Crews work to restore the Cemetery Hill tunnel, above and next two images.

Rail rally

Shovel in hand

C-Train shuttle
Buses put into service as a C-Train shuttle roam on a very dusty Macleod Trail on June 25.

Magic number

A follow-up to yesterday’s photo: This is at 66 St. Subway station in New York. Lots of beautiful ceramic art adorn the station walls — not just at that station but throughout all the underground parts of the network.

Red signal, XB200, New York City Subway

Whoever designed this signal and decided on its placement probably didn’t intend XB200 to be a piece of public art … but I think it fills this function just fine. Spotted in the New York Subway back in 2011.
