It's sad. It could be so much faster. (And it could be a railway instead of a long, guided bus...)

Cairo Monorail definitely not. It crawls around corners and brakes to such a slow speed so far ahead of the humpback stations (with platform screen doors!) that it has to accelerate on the slopes into the stations. 😂☹️😭

Footpath across the Salzach river to the station Salzburg Mülln-Altstadt 🇦🇹: It must have been designed with railway enthusiasts in mind. #bahnzeit #travelbytrain

The image depicts an outdoor staircase leading upwards, likely part of a public transportation hub. The staircase is constructed with concrete steps and flanked by polished metal railings and side panels. The metal surfaces reflect the ambient light, creating a sense of depth and shine. The base of the stairs rests on a cobblestone pavement, which is arranged in a circular pattern.

The scene is set at dusk or night, with artificial lighting illuminating the staircase and casting long, dramatic shadows. The surrounding architecture is robust and industrial, with large, rough concrete structures forming the backdrop. These concrete walls show signs of wear and have graffiti scrawled on them, adding a gritty, urban element.

Above the staircase, a dark blue directional sign hangs, indicating "Salzburg Mülln-Altstadt" with an orange arrow pointing upwards, signifying the direction. The sky visible at the top of the staircase is a deep purple, hinting at twilight with clouds adding texture.

The composition is symmetrical, with the staircase as the central focus. The converging lines of the architecture draw the viewer's eye upwards towards the sign and the sky. The contrast between the smooth, reflective metal of the staircase and the rough texture of the concrete and cobblestones is a notable feature. The colors are muted, dominated by grays, blacks, and blues, with the warm glow of distant lights and the sunset colors in the sky providing subtle accents. The overall impression is one of a functional, somewhat austere urban space that has a striking visual character due to the play of light and shadow.

The image captures a train passing by on an elevated track during twilight. The scene is dominated by a deep purple and dark blue sky, indicative of the evening hours, with some streaks of lighter purple and pink suggesting clouds.

In the foreground, a modern pedestrian walkway is visible, made of concrete with sleek metal railings on both sides. The walkway is illuminated by horizontal light fixtures embedded in the side walls, casting long, dramatic shadows onto the path. These shadows create a strong geometric pattern, extending towards the vanishing point at the end of the walkway.

To the left, a red and white train is captured in motion, appearing as a blur due to a long exposure or fast movement. It has illuminated windows, showing streaks of yellow and orange light. It is passing on an elevated track above the walkway.

Above and behind the tram, a tall, slender tower rises against the twilight sky. Traffic lights are mounted on poles between the tram tracks and the walkway, with some showing green, yellow, and red signals, indicating active traffic control.

In the background, buildings with illuminated windows are visible along a street receding into the distance. The architecture appears to be of European style, with pitched roofs and multiple floors. A dark, tree-covered hill or mountain range forms the backdrop on the right side of the image, silhouetted against the fading light.

The composition is characterized by a strong sense of perspective, with the walkway leading the viewer's eye into the scene. The contrasting elements of the moving tram, the static architecture, and the dramatic sky create a dynamic and atmospheric portrayal of urban transit at dusk. The color palette is rich with deep blues and purples, punctuated by the artificial lights of the tram, walkway, buildings, and traffic signals, and the warm glow from the windows. The overall impression is one of transition, a moment captured as day turns into night.

The image captures a dramatic twilight scene at a train station. The sky is filled with a vibrant display of colors, transitioning from a deep purple and blue at the top to a soft orange and pink near the horizon. The clouds are textured and wispy, creating a sense of movement and depth across the sky.

In the foreground, a walkway leads into the distance, bordered by modern metal railings and illuminated by long, rectangular lights embedded in the walls. The walkway itself is made of concrete slabs and is sparsely lit, with distinct shadows cast by the railings. The perspective draws the viewer's eye down the walkway towards a distant station platform.

On the right side of the frame, a modern train is approaching. Its headlights are brightly illuminated, cutting through the dusky light. The train's design is sleek and contemporary, with a white and red color scheme.

On the left side of the frame, silhouetted buildings and trees are visible against the colorful sky, indicating the presence of a town or city beyond the station. Overhead, numerous electrical wires stretch across the sky, supported by poles, adding to the urban infrastructure elements of the scene.

The overall composition is one of symmetry and leading lines, with the walkway and the train tracks converging towards a vanishing point. The strong contrast between the illuminated foreground and the silhouetted background, combined with the striking colors of the sky, creates a powerful and atmospheric image. The photograph appears to have been taken from a slightly elevated position, looking down the walkway.

I'm deep down the rabbit-hole on Göbekli Tepe, a Neolithic ritual site with these carved columns, the oldest known megaliths. And I love the carvings. ART from 10,000 years ago. This one (Pillar 12), my dear friends, is decorated with DUCKS. 😀🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Pillar 12, Enclosure C: ducks and boar
CREDIT: Dosseman - Wikimedia

"Building C feature at least two, more likely three, concentric walls. It has a round-oval ground plan and has a diameter of some 30 metres. As such, it is the largest of the excavated megalithic monumental buildings so far discovered at Göbekli Tepe. Its two central T-shaped pillars appear to have been destroyed in antiquity, when a large robber pit was excavated into the building and the two monoliths intentionally destroyed. It is still unclear when this destruction occurred, but most likely in the prehistoric (Neolithic?) period. Remarkable for this building and also for Building D, is that the two central pillars were slotted into two carefully carved pedestals. These pedestals had been worked from the natural limestone bedrock. The floor of this building is the equally carefully smoothed natural rock surface of the limestone plateau. The western central pillar was partially restored in 2009. On its left broad side there is the depiction of a large fox (in low relief). The bottom part of the eastern shaft was found in-situ, i.e. still inserted in its carved podest. This pillar is still preserved to a height of 2 metres, though its original height was probably around 5 metres. It appears that this pillar had also been subjected to burning at the time of the deliberate destruction, as testified by its flaky appearance. All other T-shaped pillars belonging to Building C are found at more or less regular intervals within the two inner concentric walls of the building. Eleven pillars have so far been found in the inner ring, while the second ring features seven pillars. This number would very likely increase if excavations were continued. It dates from the 10th-9th mill. BC"

Look, let's get this straight, once and for all. It's DUCK TAPE 🦆, not duct tape. I brought RECEIPTS. Modern duck tape is cloth-backed, polyurethane coated, with a pressure-sensitive adhesive & a distinctive silvery color from a powdered aluminum pigment. But duck tape is much older...

Silvery duck tape, with the seam visible. It's a thick roll with labeling on the interior, and it's laying horizontally on a white featureless background.

It was great to see so many people show up to ride a new public transit line. For a lot of them, it may also have been the first time they saw the New Administrative Capital since there is currently little reason to go there unless you work there.

A lot of waiting passengers on a platform. The platform has platform screen doors.

Riding the monorail on the first day wasn't enough for me. On the second day, the crowds came. It was a public holiday, fares are still free (apparently until Saturday), many families came to ride it and a lot of selfies were taken by passengers.

🦆 Enterich mit C wie cocodrilo (🐊). @enterich.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

It does up to 80 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 80 takes approximately 30s. It decelerates far ahead of stations to 30km/h and goes rather slowly around curves. It took around 50 min from Justice City to One Ninety. I'd say it's a serious mode of transport although it could be questioned ...
