Engineering Is Art: 150 – 199
You can get your daily fix of engineering photos by following Being Brunel on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter! For Free!
It’s lucky I had the foresight to use triple figures when I started #EngineeringIsArt, as I’ve managed to overtake the total number of posts on Being Brunel with the series without breaking a sweat. For those of you who haven’t heard of it- my aim is to release a new photo every weekday that celebrates the civil engineering and construction of our achievements; rather than the architecture that sits atop it.
This is the forth gallery collected from the series, and if you don’t see something you like for your new desktop wallpaper you can look back at numbers 000 to 049, 050 to 099, and 100-149. So without further ado, here are photos 150 to 199 of Engineering Is Art…
