This is one of the warmest lakes in Metro Vancouver ! There is a nice easy trail around the lake, with minimal elevation gain. This place can get very crowded in the summer because it has two great sandy beaches (White Pine Beach). There is a very sturdy floating bridge across the lane with two wharves for fishing or jumping off. The lake has an area of about 45 ha (111 acres) and a perimeter of 3.2 kms.

Having taken a whole load of portrait model photos (which I will try and get around to) at this weeks meet-up at the East Cowes club; a brief break outside to try and catch the last of the sunset over the broken floating bridge.
The small amount of flowers at the Bridge gave a small amount of foreground subject to the sunset which seemed a bit of a lost cause over West Cowes.
Three days after opening to traffic in both directions, the new SR 520 floating bridge is seen from the air on April 28, 2016. Looking east across Lake Washington, the old SR 520 floating bridge can be seen just south of the new bridge. Crews are working to remove the old bridge from the lake by the end of 2016.
when i came home tonight i had not yet taken ANY shots today! nothing, nada, zilch. and i didn't know what i wanted to shoot. and so carl, my sweetie said "you shot my gibson, why not shoot my yamaha pacifica (known to me as "the blue guitar")." so he took it out and and he had a specific shot in mind which i must share: he tossed his pants (with belt) and a guitar strap and a package of strings casually next to the guitar in the case. and so i asked "what does that say to you?" and he said "sex and rock and roll." that is my carl.
During a weekend closure, crews work to clear the new westbound lanes, which will open on Monday, April 11, 2016. This will be the first traffic to travel across the new floating bridge. Two weeks later, eastbound traffic will also move to the new bridge.
The Queen Emma Bridge is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of oceangoing vessels.
Along the shoreline of the harbor on the Punda side, you see the brightly colored buildings that Willemstad is famous for. The city center, with its unique architecture and harbor entry, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the Mayan language, Xel-Ha is pronounced Shel-Ha and means, "where the water is born."
The 80-metre floating bridge provides access to the jungle while easing the impact of the park on the environment and provides a spectacular view of the Cove as it opens into the Caribbean Sea.

Looking west from Medina toward Seattle, the new SR 520 floating bridge takes shape just north of the existing bridge.

To prepare for new pavement, first crews must grind away part of the existing roadway. This process is very efficient as the grinding machine captures the ground pavement and uses a conveyor belt system to transfer the grounds directly into the waiting dump truck.
Setting out tonight, the sky looked promising for a great sunset (or at least some reasonbly esthetic skies). It turned out pretty nasty, but I kept praying for something to happen like maybe the clouds opening up for a ray of sunlight. You can see the rain coming my way and as I was snapping away, the lightning struck right in my view! Then it started raining on my side of the lake.So I called it quits for tonight. Some other time I can grab a great sunset, but until then, this will certainly do!
Thank you for your interest. I appreciate any and all comments or suggestions.
In a couple of decades, all the empty places & small buildings could be replaced by skyscrapers, and maybe Burj Khalifa would be dwarfed by 1km and 2km high towers !

At the end of September, crews had joined eight large, longitudinal pontoons on Lake Washington. Including the eastern cross pontoon that makes nearly 3,000 feet out of 7,710 total feet in place north of the existing bridge.
Photo is looking east, towards Medina.
A total of 77 pontoons are needed to construct the new SR 520 floating bridge.
Visit the SR 520 pontoon tracker page for the latest updates on pontoon movements.

With cold and rainy autumn weather rolling in I felt the need to bring back some memories of summer with this three photo panorama.
Some facts...
The New Danube is a separate channel built to provide flood relief for the Danube river. Completed: 1988
The Ponte Cagrana - pontoon bridge - connects the 21 km Danube Island (Donauinsel) on the left, to Danube City on the right.
The lighthouse on Danube Island was originally built for an opera at Lake Constance in Germany - The Flying Dutchman by Wagner. The lighthouse was moved to Vienna and became part of Danube Island in 1989 although it has never been in operation.
Selected towers from right to left:
DC Tower: 220m
Danube Tower (Donauturm): 252m
Millennium Tower: 202m
This floating bridge was constructed for pedestrians and bikers under the Mont-Blanc bridge on the Rhône river by a friend, Sebastien Schmidt (http://www.sebschmidt.ch/). It has beautiful lines and colors.
After an 8-hour journey from Tacoma, Wash. Pontoon MNW travels under Seattle’s Montlake Bridge as it enters Lake Washington. Pontoon MNW was the 45th pontoon to arrive on Lake Washington, out of a total of 77 pontoons needed to construct the new SR 520 floating bridge. Build your own Pontoon DSW by visiting our website.
All at once we get to see the old floating bridge, the temporary west connection lanes, and the future WABN structure.
This aerial view looking east toward Seattle shows construction of the new SR 520 floating bridge on Lake Washington. Earlier this summer crews joined all 77 pontoons in their final locations as the new bridge is expected to open spring 2016.
More information about the new SR 520 floating bridge is available on our website.
WSDOT bridge maintenance crews spent the weekend of July 13 - 16, 2012 performing a variety of tests and safety repairs to the SR 520 bridge over Lake Washington. The bridge's drawspan was opened so that workers could service the elaborate mechanism that allows the bridge to open and close.
Crews install rebar that will form the roadway on the west end of the new SR 520 floating bridge is almost complete.
More information about the new SR 520 floating bridge is available on our website.
During a weekend closure, crews working for WSDOT remove asphalt paving to make way for the new alignment of eastbound SR 520 as crews prepare to open westbound of the new floating bridge.
The other shot was too wide, and you can argue this is too head on, but without climbing onto the roof of the houses immediately to my right, there was little other choice. Shots from the other side of the river were impossible, at least at this time of day. 27th October 2014
SR 520 Program Administrator, Julie Meredith, announces sponsors and additional details of the SR 520 Grand Opening set for April 2-3. In the background, one of four sentinels on the new bridge can be seen.

After a four-day journey from Aberdeen, Wash. Lake Washington comes into view as Pontoon N travels through the Montlake Cut. Pontoon N was the 36th pontoon to arrive on Lake Washington, out of a total of 77 pontoons needed to construct the new SR 520 floating bridge. Build your own Pontoon M by visiting our website.
Construction workers pull a rope tightly to moor the 11,000-ton Pontoon P as it begins to float off the casting basin floor.
Construction crews working on the SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project took advantage of an extra-high tide Oct. 5, 2013, to float six concrete pontoons into the Chehalis River. These pontoons comprise the third of six pontoon construction cycles and are destined for Lake Washington to form the backbone of the new SR 520 floating bridge.
Looking east from Seattle you can see where the new westbound lanes (on the left) will travel to meet the existing SR 520 approach.
On the right, you can see where the eastbound lanes will diverge to stay on the existing floating bridge. This configuration will be in place for two weeks.
It took two large tugboats to carefully guide this pontoon through the locks. This is just one of 21 longitudinal pontoons that will be connected end-to-end to support the new floating bridge.

Forested trails, rocky beaches and mountain views make this regional park a great place to explore year round. Swimming draws crowds to Sasamat Lake in summer.
Trails range from easy to challenging for hikers, cyclists and horseback riders. The rocky shores are home to a rich variety of marine life.
