The upper deck is the expressway for cars and the lower deck is for the Yurikamome Train lines at the Rainbow Bridge.
Pedestrian walkways are on both sides of the bridge.
Morning mist and clouds accentuate another sunny day aboard the Mein Schiff 4 cruising off the Italian coast in the Mediterranean Sea. A few passengers have claimed their spot on the deck recliners while others keep on enjoying a leisurely breakfast in the dining room below. Plexiglass panels in the deck railings add some colorful reflections. Deck 14 is actually the 13th deck. They just don't use that number. [SNY08623_lr_2000]

The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span. Wikipedia

The tree is trimmed, the halls are decked, the stockings are hung, and the gifts are all wrapped. Now all that's left is the hot cocoa with toppings!
Oh, and Happy First Day of Winter!

This is one image in a series I'm shooting on parking decks ... shapes and forms, light and shadow play, mood and atmosphere. Some images are minimalist; others representational; still others abstract. To see more in the series click Parking Deck Series
Wow! Did not realize how long it has been since I was downtown Tulsa, a brand new stairway to the upper deck of parking, with covered parking below. Just an open parking lot was all that was there the last time I was here.
It is interesting how businesses promote the holidays regardless of what they are selling. This stairway is in a car dealership where I take my vehicle for its scheduled maintenance. HSfS
This is the front deck of the Sea View Inn we stayed at in Carmel-by-the-Sea. It was such a peaceful and pretty little community and this Inn was very charming. Here I was just goofing around with different styles and came up with this variation on selective colouring....
Die Unionskirche in Idstein ist eine evangelische Pfarrkirche mit einer herausragenden barocken Inneneinrichtung. Sie entstand als erster bedeutender Kirchenbau im Herzogtum Nassau nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg und trägt, wie auch das nahegelegene Killingerhaus und der Höerhof, das internationale Schutzzeichen für Kulturgut nach der Haager Konvention.
Vorgänger war ein gotische Bau aus dem mittleren 14. Jh.
Von 1665 bis 1677 wurde die Kirche durch Graf Johann zur Predigt- und Hofkirche umgebaut. Dabei wurde das Kirchenschiff verlängert, das gotische Gewölbe entfernt und die Marmorarkaden und Emporen eingezogen. Die Brüstungen sind mit Bibelsprüchen beschrieben. Die Decke des Hauptschiffes wurde mit großformatigen Ölgemälden aus der Rubensschule vollständig verkleidet.
