Ice flow on the Fraser River
Mallard Ducks both swimming in the river and standing gathered on frozen ice.
Ice of all shape and sizes sailing down the Fraser River from Northern British Columbia
The sound of the ice cracking as it flows by makes a magical sound.
The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres, into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. Wikipedia

Bridge Lake (historically known as Greater Fish Lake) is a lake in the Interlakes District of the South Cariboo region of the Interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is the source of Bridge Creek which runs in a curving course west and then northeast to Canim Lake via the town of 100 Mile House. The lake is approximately 16 km2 in area (including the area of several islands and rocks in the lake, the largest of which is named Long Island and is 1136 m in elevation. It is located 560 km north of Vancouver and around 140 km northwest of Kamloops in the Interlakes District close to the Little Fort Highway (BC Highway 24). It and its neighbours Sheridan Lake and Lac des Roches are the largest lakes along the Interlakes Highway.
The community of Bridge Lake (pop. 500) and Bridge Lake Centennial Provincial Park are located at the eastern end of the lake. Just east of Bridge Lake is Lac des Roches while just west of it is Sheridan Lake; the three are the largest lakes in the district between Canim Lake to the north and Bonaparte lake to the southeast. The basin of the Bonaparte River is just south of Bridge Lake, in the form of its tributary the Rayfield River.. Wikipedia

No 'Pier' Pressure, the epitome of calmness combined with the warmth of the sun.
The Salmon Arm Wharf was constructed in 1907, now over 100 years ago in order to deal with the large mudflats and swampy areas that exist at the head of Shuswap Lake.
This large 440-foot pier is situated on beautiful Shuswap Lake and actually holds, not only the title of 'Largest Wooden Wharf in British Columbia and Canada' but holds the title of 'Largest Wooden 'fresh water' Wharf in North America'.

Before the Mission Bridge was built to right of this railway crossing, vehicles also shared the bridge to cross the Fraser River.
I can remember being a small child, sitting white knuckled in the backseat of my parent's car, scared out of my wits, with my eyes closed tight. My dad's old car had a tendency to break down at inopportune times.
My fear was this might happen on the bridge before we could make it to the other side.
Fortunately, we always made the crossing safely. :-)
Sundown entering the Blue Hour
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

Die Erzählung, beziehungsweise Kürzestgeschichte dazu - Drunten am Bach - kann man hier lesen und hören:
A dragonfly balanced on the tip of a bare branch, silhouetted against a shimmering water background. The surface behind it sparkled with circular highlights—bokeh so perfect it looked like the lake had borrowed a disco ball. The insect held its pose like a shadow puppet mid-performance, wings outstretched, antennae tuned to some secret frequency.
I spotted it just as the light turned theatrical, casting the whole scene in soft brilliance. The dragonfly didn’t twitch, didn’t flinch just perched like it was guarding something sacred. I framed the shot and clicked, half expecting it to vanish in a puff of myth. If you squint, the branch even curves like a wand, and the dragonfly? Definitely the wizard.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections.
