This was taken shortly after my last fog image, In the Mist. Here we were on the new trestle bridge in West Vancouver.

We had a calm, picture perfect long weekend to celebrate Victoria Day. Then on Tuesday the strong 100 km winds and the rains hit Alberta hard. I feel badly for all the gardeners ...
While hiking on Lee's Woods Trail in Leesylvania State Park I came upon an opening. This was the view . I was fortunate that a CSX train was crossing Neabsco Creek on a trestle bridge when I was there. It's considered a moderate hike with some hills and stairs. It's 1.96 miles long with several historic sites and scenic views on it. It's well shaded and a good trail. #CSX

The Old Railroad Trestle
(located in River Walk, downtown Murphy NC)
This old trestle crosses the Valley River and carries the rail that once conneced Murphy to Andrews, NC.
Archeological evidence indicates that this is not the original railroad bridge built when the railroad connected Murphy to points east. When the river is very low, you might be able to observe old wooden footers under the existing bridge that would have been the foundation for an earlier, wooden trestle.
These old wooden footers would have been built on shore, then floated to position before being sunk and filled with rocks to hold them in place. The wooden trestle would have been built up from this new foundation.
Just when the newer steel bridge replaced the wooden trestle is not known exactly. Presumably the new bridge was needed to carry larger and heavier trains necessary to service this growing area.
This beautiful old steel bridge stands silent now. It stands now as a monument to busier times. No train has crossed here since THE LAST TRAIN LEFT MURPHY ON JULY 4, 1992.
I had been driving all day and was tired so drove past the turn off to the Trestle Bridge because I couldn't be bothered. I metaphorically kicked myself up the butt, turned around and got the camera out.
While at the Trestle Vista Observation Site with a view looking to the southeast to the namesake bridge in Lincoln National Forest. I had several thoughts in composing this image. One was to capture the bridge as it crossed the canyon from one ridge to the other, while seemingly nestled in between those high grounds with a forest of trees all around. The other was to pull back on the focal length such that I could capture, not just the bridge and some nearby surroundings, but also some of the more distant ridges, and include some of the overcast skies that had hints of blue skies. The rest of my thought was metering the image to not blow any of the highlights present in the skies above, while still being able to pull out the more shadowed areas in the forest nearby. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
While at the Trestle Vista Observation Site with a view looking to the southeast to the namesake bridge. This is in Lincoln National Forest. My thought in composing this image was to get down low so that I could capture a look across some nearby wildflowers, both purple and yellow, and using the wooden bridge as a backdrop. I decided to open on the aperture so that only the purple wildflower was in focus with everything else fading away in focus from that. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
Yesterday first day off in months. We did a bit of "barn chasing", but the best shoot turned out to be the trestle bridge.
The 420-foot bridge was constructed about 1900 by area Civil War veterans who had worked in an engineering regiment that specialized in building bridges and railroads. The bridge was originally built using square timbers. However, after a railroad accident in 1912, the square timbers were replaced with round timbers. Other than that, the bridge hasn’t changed much. It’s still in use, and visitors can see the occasional train pass 35 feet overhead.
The exif data is crazy...no idea what happened. It was an old 20mm prime lens at f9...don't know the rest.
Please take a minute to press L and view in large!
INRD SAHW crosses the infamous Tulip Trestle Bridge on a crisp fall evening with a pair of SD90MACs.
This was a shot that was on my bucket list for a while and was worth the trip. Especially since the SD90MACs will get phased out eventually on the INRD
The Lethbridge Viaduct or Hi Level Bridge, as it's also known, was completed in 1909 and cost a staggering (at that time) sum of 1.3 million dollars. It was originally built to access the coal mines in the area, which in their heyday, numbered around a hundred along with over 3200 km of tunnels. Spanning 1.6 km long and 96 meters high, it's the longest and highest trestle bridge in the world and is still used today.
In a park on the edge of the coulee overlooking the bridge, there were a couple of sculptured locomotive wheels placed in tribute to the Galt family, who were key figures in the development of Lethbridge. I thought it would be interesting to catch the setting sun as it ducked behind one of the wheels. It was a spontaneous decision to try for the shot and a friend was kind enough to bring us here. Unfortunately, I was ill prepared and did not have a tripod with me. Also, in retrospect, I should have looked for a composition to show more separation of the bridge as it's kind of lost in the background. This is the best of three shots, which is is enhanced with saturation and sharpness to qualify for Sliders Sunday.
Rebuilt after a fire in 1953 for the Ballarat to Skipton Railway, the line closed to rail traffic in 1985 and re-opened as a rail-trail in 2008.
Finley River bridge and Ozark Mill back in their places after renovations, the bridge was completed recently.
A sunburst came through the trestle timber bridge, while I was waiting for the sky to get dark enough to catch some starry night sky.....

Century old heritage steam train railway operating in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne, Australia, crossing the Trestle Bridge
I visit this spot on and off. Usually I only shoot film here. This time I also used my iPhone.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.

A brand new trail is completed by British Pacific Properties, between the being developed Upperland neighborood and the future Cypress Village. The real high light is the brand new wood trestle bridge. This is part of British Pacific Properties’ (BPP) upper Mountain Path, which is a 2.1-km-long, three-metre-wide, paved, sustainably-built pathway from the first switchback of Cypress Bowl Road to Chippendale Road. It forms part of the broader system of paths and trails connecting the Rodgers Creek neighbourhoods, including the previously built 1.8-km-long section of the Mountain Path along the hillside from Marr Creek to Westmount Creek.

At an overlook to the Mexican Canyon Trestle along the namesake trail in Lincoln National Forest. The view is looking to the northeast. My thinking in composing this image was to use the bridge as a leading line into the image as it created a layered look in the forest to my front.
Puffing Billy crossing the historic trestle bridge just out of Belgrave. On another cloudy, cool October day. The train was full with everyone sitting on the window sills with legs outside, waving madly and with huge grins! puffingbilly.com.au/
October, a photo-a-day, 5/31.
On another note Rishi Sunak is proposing to gradually ban cigarettes in the UK so that a 14 year old will never legally be able to buy them. The report I heard said nothing about banning vaping (except for people trying to quit smoking). Out of the pan and into the fire perhaps!
