The beloved, 114 yr old landmark pier in White Rock, BC Canada was severely damaged by a windstorm that ripped through Metro Vancouver, BC Canada on December 20th, 2018
The White Rock Pier is a historic landmark dating back to the 1920's and one of White Rock's finest tourist attractions boasting over 1,540 feet of boardwalk.
In this scene, you will notice some of the remains of many destroyed sailboats.
During the storm the boats were ripped away from an attached dock, at the end of the pier, and were aggressively tossed around, beaten and smashed to pieces, by the high force winds and rough waves.
Excavator - clean-up effort. Please see previous images
I appreciate your kind words of support and would like to thank-you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography

At 0709 hrs, the belly of the beast at Atlas Steel erupts in a fiery glow - a stark contrast to the cool blue atmosphere of surrounding Welland, Ontario.

During the summertime in Alaska, we pretty much get used to sharing the roads with monstrous construction equipment. This big fella dwarfed our one-ton truck. I'd love to see the world from the driver's seat in that beauty - although I think I'd need a big ladder to get up to driver's side door.

De koploper - The frontrunner. For me, the best train; it looks great and has the best seats, compared to the modern ones. It's unfortunately being scrapped, hence this photo. Before it's no longer possible.
I've been driving by these monster excavators near Sundre, Alberta on an almost daily basis for some time now....and all that time, I've been thinking that I'll get some shots of them one of these days. Well yesterday was that day.
Hopefully this was taken late enough last Saturday to qualify for this week's #SmileOnSaturday?
Anyway, my first fumbling attempt at a composite image with Photoshop.
As a kid I played in the dirt with toy trucks so how could I pass this going on? Man, they moved a lotta dirt!

Made using a 590nm filter and a small converted camera, using Photoshop for most post-processing. The original photo was mostly a sandy brown monotone, so this image aimed at enhancing color and sharpness. Hand-held with a multi-burst combination of images.

Construction equipment reflected in a large puddle, Port Gamble WA. Brew Ski was somehow written on the top panels of the two wheeled trailer.
Out on an abandoned mining field somewhere in Eastern Europe, these machines look less like equipment and more like creatures that simply stopped moving.
Bucket wheels, conveyors, towers and steel structures stretch across the landscape, built on a scale that makes almost everything around them seem insignificant. Machines like these were designed to move enormous quantities of earth continuously, day after day, reshaping the landscape around them.
And when they move on, they rarely leave much behind.
Once they have eaten their way through the land, what remains is often a barren moonscape of exposed earth, deep scars and artificial horizons. A landscape stripped down to something almost dystopian, shaped less by geology than by industry.
Now there is no movement at all.
The belts are still. Rust spreads across the steel. Water collects in the ground beneath them. From a distance they still look strangely ready, as if someone only needs to turn a key and wake them up.
And perhaps that is not entirely impossible.
Mining in the surrounding area has not disappeared. Other extraction sites are still active nearby, so these giants may not necessarily have reached the end of their story. Perhaps they are abandoned. Perhaps only mothballed. Maybe one day the machinery will start moving again.
That uncertainty is what made the scene even more fascinating to me.
Something built for constant motion, caught in complete silence.
Sleeping giants.
Not necessarily dead ones.
The clock says noon, but the Arctic sky tells a completely different story. After months of total winter darkness, the sun finally edges above the horizon in Pond Inlet, painting the frozen landscape in a surreal, ethereal canvas of deep violet, soft magenta, and ice-blue. It is a fleeting, monumental moment—the first sunrise of the year.
Yet, life in the high north doesn't pause to merely spectate. Against the backdrop of snow-swallowed rooftops and stark utility lines, the heavy hum of a CAT loader breaks the crisp, sub-zero silence. Its headlights cut through the twilight glow, a beacon of determination as it clears the drifted roads. The polished steel of its blade catches the metallic reflections of the dawn-lit snow, transforming a routine chore into a dramatic battle between human resilience and the relentless Arctic elements. This is noon in Nunavut: a breathtaking intersection of extreme nature and the everyday grit it takes to thrive here.
