As I walk through this beautiful relic of the past, I'm immediately taken back to a simpler time thinking of the horse drawn wagons and carriages that crossed this passage over the Saco River.
Throwback to 2020. I spent a lot of time chasing down the locations I felt showed iconic scenes and infrastructure in the area. Moving from a smaller city to this one nearly every building and bridge felt gargantuan and worthy of an image.
The cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has been refloated and towed to port with the assistance of five tugboats. The ship, named The Dali, had been trapped under debris from the destroyed bridge since March, when the collapse killed six construction workers. CBS News has more on what’s next for the Dali and the bridge.
So Ryan, thank you for this most valuable tool to bring people around the globe together in #DeSoc - creating (and curating, as you have) ***Bridgy_Fed is one of the very best things that the Fediverse has to offer people on both sides of the protocol divide, and I really don't think that there are enough Thank you's to go around for all of the selfless effort you've put into this service.
So as meek and perhaps insignificant as it may sound, THANK YOU!

The drought shows us structures and things that are usually under the water.
While touring #Andalusia in #Spain, I spotted a gleaming tower. Intrigued, I looked it up and found out it was the #Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant which can supply power to 27,500 homes and uses molten salt heat storage technology to keep generating power when there's no sun. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemasolar_Thermosolar_Plant - Perhaps #Italy could do with a few similar plants. #energy
Mes grands-parents maternels habitaient "en Vienne" (quartier de Blois, sud-Loire). Pour rejoindre le centre de la ville, il fallait traverser le pont Jacques-Gabriel, sous les bombes à une certaine période. Jusqu'à ce qu'il soit en partie détruit le 16 août 1944.
