September 2008 — The Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, spanning the East River between Manhattan and Queens, is captured here under an overcast sky from Roosevelt Island. Completed in 1909, this double-deck cantilever bridge remains one of New York City’s most significant engineering landmarks, carrying both vehicular and pedestrian traffic while offering a vital connection between Midtown Manhattan and Long Island City. Above the roadway, the Roosevelt Island Tram cables can be seen tracing parallel to the structure — a modern counterpart to this early 20th-century feat of steelwork. The muted light of the cloudy day accentuates the warm tones of the bridge’s framework against the cool gray skyline of Manhattan.

Completed in 2002, the modern arched performance structure serves as an outdoor music venue with views toward the historic Wabasha Street Bridge, visible in the background. The bridge, originally built in 1859 and reconstructed in 1998, is known as the only true vertical align arch bridge over the Mississippi. Its decorative architectural lighting reflects across the water alongside the flooded riverbank, highlighting how the river’s seasonal water levels shape the island landscape. Raspberry Island has long served as a gathering space and riverfront access point, evolving from a railroad landing to a cultural park and performance venue.

April 2019 — Beneath the skeletal lattice of steel girders, the Riverfront Heritage Trail in Kansas City, Missouri, cuts through a corridor of industrial history. The repeating truss framework belongs to the remnants of the elevated rail infrastructure that once powered the city’s commerce along the Missouri River. Today, the pathway carries cyclists and walkers under the same towering beams that supported freight trains a century ago, blending the legacy of industry with modern urban renewal. The evening light reveals the quiet symmetry and endurance of this monumental structure, a relic turned passageway through time.

April 2019 — Riverside Plaza stands tall beyond the METRO Blue Line overpass in the Cedar–Riverside district of Minneapolis. The colorful panels of the 1970s residential towers contrast with the new mid-rise apartments and light rail infrastructure built decades later. This view captures the merging of eras—modern rail transit, Brutalist architecture, and the continuing evolution of one of Minneapolis’s most historically diverse neighborhoods.

April 2019 — London Bridge Station’s Thameslink platforms represent one of the most advanced pieces of commuter rail infrastructure in the UK, rebuilt as part of the £1 billion redevelopment completed in 2018. The redesign introduced a vast concourse beneath the platforms, new canopies, and digital passenger systems to accommodate over 50 million travelers annually. Visible here is a Class 700 Thameslink train, part of Siemens’ Desiro City fleet, which operates high-frequency services linking Bedford, Brighton, and Cambridge through central London via the core Thameslink route. The streamlined architecture and wide canopies were engineered to handle both heavy peak-hour volumes and seamless integration between National Rail and the London Underground’s Jubilee and Northern Lines, establishing London Bridge as a key interchange in Britain’s modern rail network.

April 2019 — Passengers ascend and descend the deep escalator shafts of London Bridge Underground Station, one of the busiest interchanges in the capital’s rail network. Rebuilt and expanded during the Jubilee Line Extension project of the 1990s, the station’s concrete-lined tunnels and exposed mechanical framework represent a fusion of industrial engineering and modern architectural design. At nearly 26 meters below ground, these escalators connect the Northern and Jubilee lines with the mainline concourse above, handling tens of thousands of passengers daily. The structural bracing and utilitarian lighting were deliberately retained as visual elements, emphasizing the monumental scale of London’s deep-level transport infrastructure.

May 2019 — An abandoned wooden railroad bridge curves over the Mississippi River at Nicollet Island in Minneapolis, a quiet remnant of the city’s industrial past. Once part of a freight spur serving nearby mills and factories, the structure now stands unused, adorned with graffiti and framed by spring foliage. In the background, the tan brick towers of Riverplace and surrounding condominium developments reflect the area’s transformation from rail and river commerce to modern urban living.

May 2019 — Bruininks Hall, with its curved glass facade and modernist profile, stands prominently on the bluffs of the Mississippi River at the University of Minnesota’s East Bank campus. The building, named after former university president Robert Bruininks, houses student services and administrative offices while serving as a visual landmark along the riverfront. The structure’s sleek transparency contrasts with the limestone layers of the bluff below, emphasizing the union between natural geology and contemporary academic architecture that defines much of the university’s riverfront setting.

May 2019 — The maroon and gold Washington Avenue Bridge spans the Mississippi River, linking the University of Minnesota’s East and West Bank campuses. Seen from below, the bridge’s bold steel trusses frame the calm river and limestone bluffs, while the university’s West Bank buildings rise in the background. The bridge, completed in 1965, carries both vehicular and pedestrian traffic—including the campus’s light rail line—and serves as one of the most recognizable landmarks connecting the university’s two halves across the river.

June 2019 — Stone Arch Bridge, Minneapolis

July 2019 — An old steel truss bridge spans Split Rock Creek near the town of Garretson, South Dakota, carrying a narrow, weathered wooden deck over the rocky gorge below. Built in the early 20th century, this Pratt through truss design reflects an era when such riveted steel frameworks connected small Midwestern towns before the advent of modern concrete spans. Its utilitarian geometry and riveted latticework remain intact, framed by the lush, tree-lined valley of Split Rock Creek—a setting that once hosted flour mills, quarries, and river crossings essential to the region’s early development. The bridge now stands as a quiet relic of rural American engineering, linking history and landscape on the edge of the prairie.

August 2019 — The iconic Long Island sign towers over the East River waterfront in Queens as evening light reflects off the glassy high-rises of Long Island City. Once a gritty industrial dock, the area has transformed into one of New York City’s fastest-growing neighborhoods.
