Engineering Is Art: 250 – 299
If your day isn’t complete without an engineering photo, you can get your daily fix by following Being Brunel on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.
Over a year ago, I decided that I had too much spare time, and though “let’s find an engineering picture for every workday”. The purpose is long forgotten, but who needs a reason to enjoy some of the amazing photos the fantastic people share with us on flickr? And while the updates have been a bit sporadic of late, I’ve still somehow managed to hit 300.
This is now the sixth gallery to come from the #EngineeringIsArt series. If none of these 50 images reinstates your stability; you can always look back on 000 to 049, 050 to 099, 100-149, 150-199 and 200-249. So finally, here are pictures 250 to 299 in my ongoing assurance that engineering is art…

Origin of Architecture is civil engineering..The basic requrements for an Engineer are mathematics and science..But the heading ‘Engineering is Art’ is impressive…( ‘ Artistic Engineering ‘ …..? )
