Alexandra Avenue Viaduct, Portland, Oregon. Buried in the forest and very difficult to photograph, built in 1922.
Die Alexandra ist ein 1908 vom Stapel gelaufener Dampfer, der als maritimes Wahrzeichen der Stadt Flensburg gilt und seit 1990 als fahrendes historisches Schiff im Denkmalbuch des Landes Schleswig-Holstein eingetragen ist. Es handelt sich um den letzten erhaltenen Fördedampfer. Die Alexandra liegt heute in der Nähe des Museumshafen Flensburg und gehört zum Historischen Hafen Flensburgs.
PASSENGER STEAMER “ALEXANDRA”
Built in 1908, “Alex” is the floating landmark of Flensburg. She is one of the only passenger steamboats in Germany still in operation. You can head out to sea on the Alexandra from May until October. In addition to offering public cruises on selected Sundays, she is also present at the major port festivals like the Rumregatta and the Dampf Rundum steamboat parade.
I met Alexandra outside the Blick art supply store in the Village. She is visual artist, mainly painting. You can check out her web site. We chatted for a bit about art and painting before walking around a few feet to this alley with a lot of cool graffiti to take some photos (I'm trying to be more patient and thoughtful about backgrounds).
As I told Alexandra, I was quite engaged in drawing and painting my entire youth, but got away from it for various reasons in college. Nowadays, photography is a way to express some visual creativity, without the huge investment in time and energy required by drawing and painting.
Good thing I ran in to Alexandra when I did -- 5 minutes later it was pouring rain.

The new Alexandra Bridge can be seen about 1 mile south from the old bridge. It was opened in 1964 along with a series of new tunnels in the Fraser Canyon constructed around the same time to accommodate a new wider highway, rather than keeping the narrow road that was essentially little improvement over the Gold Rush Trail used by camels, horses, donkeys and carts/caravans originally.
The "new" bridge is currently (2018) under renovations of some sort.
"The Alexandra Bridge is a steel arch-span bridge crossing the Fraser River on the north side of Spuzzum, British Columbia and 39 km from Hope, on the Trans-Canada Highway in the Fraser Canyon region of southern British Columbia, Canada. It was constructed between 1960 and 1964 and is the third structure in the area named the Alexandra Bridge.
"Built as part of the modernization of the earlier highway by the British Columbia Ministry of Highways during the late 1950s and early 1960s, it replaced the Alexandra Suspension Bridge of 1926, just upstream, which was part of the reconstruction of the Cariboo Wagon Road which was renamed the Fraser Canyon Highway in 1924-25. This second Alexandra Bridge, which itself replaced the original Alexandra Suspension Bridge of 1863 (destroyed in 1894 and remains dismantled in 1912), is still in existence as part of the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park and has not seen automobile traffic since 1964."

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located in the Fraser Canyon approximately two kilometres (one mile) north of Spuzzum and 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Hope.
During the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in 1858, a ferry service was established here.
The original Alexandra Bridge of the Cariboo Road, was built in 1863.
The original bridge was destroyed by the rising waters of the Fraser Flood of 1894.
After World War I the dawn of the automotive era saw a reinvestment in roads in the province, including the re-opening of the Fraser Canyon to road traffic in the form of the new Cariboo Highway in the 1920s, and a new suspension bridge was built upon the footings of the original in 1926 (with a deck level ten feet higher than the previous design).
I remember travelling over this bridge in the family car in 1957 when this was still part of the highway.
It ceased to be used for automobile traffic in 1964. The new Alexandra Bridge, constructed by the B.C. Ministry of Highways in 1960-64, is approximately two kilometres (one mile) downstream and uses a high truss-arch span to cross the canyon.
Whenever I pass this way, if I have time, I stop and take the trail down to the old bridge. The bridge deck is one of those steel grates that you can see through to the river below - it makes some people nervous! ☺
The Fraser River is always fascinating to me. In salmon spawning season you can observe the salmon working their way up stream on their way to the spawning grounds.
Right now the river is in Spring run-off.
It's a high as I have ever seen it.

Taken this morning, noticed that there is a lot of rain coming over the next few days, had a look at skippy sky. Was meant to be some good cover. It turned out quite nice in the end
Picturesque Pallion... an area of Sunderland not exactly noted for its postcard views. The remnants of the area's heavily industrialised shipbuilding past still visible in this view, yet the setting sun adds a new dimension to the utilitarian-looking Alexandra Bridge.
The other side of the road.
