Or is that too niche?
Kingsferry road/rail bridge lifts straight up by cable to let shipping through.

Like so

Carry on with the bridges theme, any kind……….I like bridges :thumbup:

3 soon to be bridges courtesy of HS2
There’s one in the background of the 1st pic.

Let’s move on to the opposite, tunnels, underpasses, etc, any covered road or path.

Not even sure where the nearest one is, the two here closed years ago. It may be the same place that sells Kaws, but that's 40 miles away.

I have less than zero interest in Hondas, The only reason I noticed the one in Palmdale closed was because the owner once sold me a 100% stock, 12k mile '75 Z1-B that some guy had dropped off for work & never came back for it. He couldn't pay the $600 bill & it sat in the barn out back for years.
I coughed up the $600 & took it home. Gave it fresh oil/filter, air filter, tires & battery, then I rode it for a few years & sold it for $9800. 8-)

You can just see the Honda dealership, about 32
Miles in the distance.

This was tonight in a moment of retaining my mental health 😀

No-one said it had to be a bike dealership.... ;)

I also did take a pic with blue flowers... But my phone app seems to be not saving photos. Has happened a few times now. Sodding modern technology...

Next, an emergency services vehicle! (The AA don't count)

So I was coming back from a local run out, passed the funeral place and when I went by a fire engine pulls out behind me, does not turn into local station but carries on and I get a pic (helmet cam:) while I turned off, you may have to squint;)

Keep this going for the weekend, or @Skub look for pansies:)
