The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span. Wikipedia

I've gone back 10 years for a seasonal photo for this week's Fence Friday. It's shot of the deck at a lodge where my wife and I stayed in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, taken on a wet and foggy morning in October 2011.

An adorable juvenile polar bear (Ursus maritimus) came over to the Frontiers North Tundra Buggy and stood up to see the people on the back deck. With him standing up and me learning over the rail, there was still about a foot safe distance between us.
I love summer and all of the green and bright colors. My favorite, of course being, pink! Which means more amazing decor from SummerFest 21' and The Liaison Collaborative. There is still time to drop by Summerfest until July 11th to pick up all your new summer favorites!

The tree is trimmed, the halls are decked, the stockings are hung, and the gifts are all wrapped. Now all that's left is the hot cocoa with toppings!
Oh, and Happy First Day of Winter!

There are multiple definitions for when a boat becomes a ship, including size, purpose, and other characteristics:
Size: Some say a ship is a vessel that's at least 197 feet (60 meters) long. Others say a ship is a large, ocean-faring vessel.
Purpose: A ship is a versatile vessel that can be used for commercial, military, or scientific purposes. A boat is often used for leisure activities.
Masts: A sailing ship may be defined as having at least three masts.
Deck: A ship may have a through-fitted deck, while a boat may have an open cockpit.
Weight: A ship may weigh at least 500 tonnes.
Crew: A ship may have a commander and a crew, while a boat may just have whomever is on it at the time.
Personal use: A vessel may be considered a yacht if it was constructed solely for personal use and has a combined occupancy of less than 100, including crew.
Submarines are technically ships, but they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate.

The morning sun lights a series of gullies in the badlands, arranged as if a deck of cards were being shuffled.
The sunrise, of course, doesn't care if we watch it or not. It will keep on being beautiful even if no one bothers to look at it.

It is interesting how businesses promote the holidays regardless of what they are selling. This stairway is in a car dealership where I take my vehicle for its scheduled maintenance. HSfS
Wow! Did not realize how long it has been since I was downtown Tulsa, a brand new stairway to the upper deck of parking, with covered parking below. Just an open parking lot was all that was there the last time I was here.
