Victoria Day in 2026 is Monday, May 18, bringing a long weekend that runs from May 16 through May 18. It is a federal and provincial statutory holiday in British Columbia
The Prince Alfred Bridge is a wrought iron truss and timber beam partially-disused road bridge over the Murrumbidgee River and its floodplain at Middleton Drive, Gundagai, Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council, New South Wales, Australia. The heritage-listed road bridge was designed by William Christopher Bennett and built from 1864 to 1867 by Francis Bell. It is also known as Prince Alfred Bridge - Iron Road Bridge and Iron Bridge over Murrumbidgee River at Gundagai. The iron bridge is owned by Transport for NSW and the timber viaduct is owned by Crown Lands. The bridge was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 5 July 2019 and on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate on 21 March 1978.
The bridge is now being dismantled sadly even though it has been heritage listed.
Famed in verse, song and popular imagination, Gundagai today bids farewell to its iconic and historic Prince Alfred Bridge, condemned to demolition after more than 125 years of service.
This is also my photo for the 52 in 2021 Challenge - #39 - Abandoned.
Magical coastal colors of Garrapata state park, California. This stretch of coastline some of the amazing rock formations and vegetation that blend together to form some amazing color combos!
Following my overnight stay at the Pig, I went to a caravan park near Burnham on Sea, for a few days. Some years ago I did a series called "Boozing with My Brother," and this is a continuation of that, but I want it to be more travel oriented.

Kate Atkinson's books are like a trip back to the home country for me. She captures so well the small towns, characters, and general quirkiness of the areas right around where I grew up in the north of England :-) Since I can't travel there for a while, this book has been like a mini nostalgic visit. Happy Sliders Sunday.

This weekend all is very still in Lisbon and while walking around I found that this photo shows a bit of what is this "long weekend" ... this is the electric tram that takes you up the hill to see the wonderfull view of Lisboa - the Bica elevator.... it kinds of shows how "lazy" we feel this weekend ... to all a nice day/weekend either in the city or somewhere else.

There was a power outage over the weekend at Algonquin Park's Lake Opeongo outfitter station. Consequently, not many people were around at sunset - only the sounds of a generator and a few kids laughing at each other's dockside fishing antics. Eventually the generator fell silent and the kids left - leaving us the last ones out. A solitary loon called out but there was no answer.
HBM to everyone else who is not celebrating this public holiday in Canada. This is tradionally the weekend that gardens are planted and it is considered the unofficial start of Summer. Thanks for visiting:)

I have to mention this. Its noon and lunch time. We have seen billboards of Wall Drug for nearly 200 miles. Wall Drug this, Wall Drug that. That was some kind of an advertising blitz about this small town. There is more advertising for "Wall Drug" on I-90 than for Taj Mahal and Pyramids of Giza combined. We were like, what the heck is this place?
Finally we decided to take an exit and see what's this all about. The name of the city is Wall and it has a big Drug store and a shopping complex, hence Wall Drug. The place is little historic but not to the point that you advertise about this town on infinite number of billboards for hundreds of miles on both sides. We went into this big, "supposedly" old pharmacy, had lunch, checked out the "famous" places and got out of there. If any of you are traveling on I-90 and wonder what's in Wall Drug: NOTHING. Don't waste your time over there. I am simplifying this for you by placing it on the map.
But thanks Wall Drug for the donuts.

I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of the world as seen through my lens.

Wishing everyone a marvelous and happy Victoria Day!

I want to wish all my Canadian Flickr friends a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so grateful & thankful for all the wonderful support from all my flickr friends throughout the world! Wish you could all join me for this delicious turkey dinner!
The entrance to Parliament Hill is marked by the Centennial Flame, lit to celebrate the country's birthday in 1967. The centre of the hill is dominated by the 295-foot tall Peace Tower, which commemorates the nearly 67,000 Candians killed in World War One.
Instead of posting more photos from Tibet, I decided that maybe it is a good idea to upload some photos that I took in Vancouver to keep things fresh :)
This week is BC's long weekend. Many people went to other province or the state for the weekend. For me, I decided that I need a small break after traveling for so long. Instead of going somewhere far, I decided to go and do a small hike in Chilliwack. I planned to go both the Bridal Vel Falls and Ladner Creek Trestle.
Driving to Chillwack was quite easy, it only took me 2 hours to get there. The hike was also quite short, 5mins to the waterfall. The waterfall is quite amazing and it is packed with people.... :) I waited roughly half an hour for a chance to take a shot with no people in the frame.... have a great weekend everyone!
