#PhotoOfTheDay is the Mossdale vertical lift railroad bridge over the San Joaquin River in Lathrop, CA. Built in 1942 as a replacement for the original 1869 bridge which was the final link in the

  • @croyle@wandering.shop currently working on building the set for the UK touring version of To Kill a Mockingbird. Taking the US design and making it work for UK theatres. I think this pic is from the London West End run, but you can get the idea from it.

    It’s possibly the closest thing I’ve ever seen to being janky without crossing the line! It’s basically Home Depot lumber and coffee lids. It’s amazing.

  • @croyle@wandering.shop I was just thinking about the F-14 yesterday. Absolutely my favourite fighter from an aesthetic view.
