The Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing, also called the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and Second Narrows Bridge, is the second bridge constructed at the Second (east) Narrows of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Originally named the Second Narrows Bridge, it connects Vancouver to the North Shore of Burrard Inlet, which includes the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. It was constructed adjacent to the older Second Narrows Bridge, which is now exclusively a rail bridge. Its construction, from 1956 to 1960, was marred by a multi-death collapse on June 17, 1958. The First Narrows Bridge, better known as Lions Gate Bridge, crosses Burrard Inlet about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of the Second Narrows.

I found this nice little scene with beautiful ferns and a nice cascade on a river that I explored on Vancouver Island.

Saturday 13 February residents in downtown Vancouver awoke to a healthy blanket of snow - our first and likely only snow event this winter.
Unusual for a Canadian city, Vancouver has relatively mild winters with little snow. Cold air from the Arctic that sweeps over the rest of Canada in winter is typically blocked from reaching Vancouver by the coastal mountain range.
Vancouver has very mild winters by Canadian standards. The average daily temperature during the three coldest months (Dec., Jan., Feb.) is 4 degrees Celsius / 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Vancouver's winters are very wet, with some rain on 51 days out of 90. On average it snows on only 7 days every winter.
For about nine days a year, Vancouver has at least a centimetre of snow on the ground. Since it rains more than snows during winter, the remnants of a snowfall usually wash away before long.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc ... Always very much appreciated !
