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. :-)

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

A beautifully scenic 1-hour drive from Vancouver along the Sea to Sky Highway towards Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh) takes you to the Sea to Sky Gondola - definitely worth a visit (if you're not afraid of heights) to take in the exceptional views of Howe Sound. The 10-minute gondola ride to the top takes you 885m above sea level where sweeping views of Howe Sound and the coastal mountains greet you from every direction.
We went at around 5pm on a gorgeous early August day (2018).
Some will get it right away, others will need to think about it first. And then, there are those who won't get it at all.

At first glance I thought these two were statues.. Wild rabbits will freeze when they are frightened.. They stayed in this position for about five minutes even after I walked by.
I even said, "you can go now little bunnies" ! I'm like Dr. Doolittle and talk to the animals ; )
I should add that I did look around and made sure that they were okay.. They were and scampered off ! ; )
Best viewed large:) her skin is so light..the tears didn't show up so well:(

"Scared" by The Tragically Hip
Okay, you made me scared, you did what you set out to do
And I'm not prepared, you really had me going there for a minute or two
He said, you made me scared too, I wasn't sure I was getting through
I got to go
It's been a pleasure doing business with you
This squirrel is just a baby.
Squirrels usually come running when they see a treat, but this one was chasing birds and only after he scared them all away did he come to me and take the nut.
It’s remarkably difficult to capture the full on fury of a storm in a single image. There are so many things happening at once that it becomes hard to focus- from technical aspects such as composition and camera stability in the face of violent and unpredictable gusts to the obvious dangers of shooting coastal scenes on an incoming tide. This is storm Atiyah, which brought 80mph winds and huge seas to the west coast of Britain in early December 2019. Shot about an hour or so from high tide on the rocks below the sea wall at Porthcawl, it was probably the most scared I’ve been in the last 6 years of photography. And despite being confidant that the sea direction and wind was pushing the huge swells just in front of me, 25 years of windsurfing have taught me to have absolute respect for the sheer unpredictability of the sea.
This may not be a pretty landscape but it’s one for all of you Flickr friends who have supported my stream over the years.

This young fox was sitting at the edge of the road and apparently hadn't yet encountered humans. He sat there and sniffed while we stood about two meters away.

40 Grad Urban Art Festival
Vom 18.9. bis 22.9.2019 ging das 40 Grad Urban Art Festival in die vierte Runde. Dieses Mal rund um die Jülicher Brücke und angrenzend an das Mahnmal für die deportierten Juden und Jüdinnen am alten Güterbahnhof. Um der kreativen Gestaltung der Brücken und Pfeiler, als auch dem Gedenken an die Deportation in einem geschichtlichen als auch aktuellen Rahmen gleichermaßen gerecht zu werden, lautete das diesjährige Motto des 40 Grad Urban Art Festivals:
BRÜCKEN DENKEN.
An der Gestaltung der ca. 2000 qm großen Fläche haben ca. 70 lokal, regional und auch international bekannte Graffiti und Urban Art Künstler*innen mitgewirkt. Für interessierte Kinder und Jugendliche fanden Workshops und Malaktionen statt, durch die sie an der Gestaltung des Festivals teilhaben konnten.
Some will get it right away, others will need to think about it first. And then, there are those who won't get it at all.
For those of you who do get it, CONGRATULATIONS!! Welcome to my world.

Out of the water now kiss the prince
I didn't know he was there ........ then he appeared.
I'm not kissing anymore frogs!
One look at a pointed, wide brimmed black hat tells you all you need to know: WITCH! Goes back to childhood for me, watching the film Wizard of Oz and Margaret Hamilton's chilling portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West. Scared me then and scares me still. Terrifying images that are impossible to forget. Over the years I've seen many variations on that original witch theme. They usually center on the face of a hag, distorted, covered with warts, and just ugly. That visualization just looks cartoonish to me; it actually makes the witch look less scary. Much better to leave as much to the imagination as possible. The fear factor kicks in the moment a witch's presence has been established. My mind takes it from there as the terror I felt as a kid watching Oz comes racing back to envelop me one again. Witches aren't supposed to be something you see from a distance and cautiously approach. Much better they suddenly appear before you like a Jack-in-the box. And if it occurs in the middle of a dark, desolate cornfield, all the better.
One of my favourite birds. They are very fast and agile picking of little mud crabs in mid-flight. Just amazing.
scared squirrel. I think i scared this squirrel when i got too close to him to take a picture. Sorry my friend.
I was just gonna sit outside and enjoy the Florida morning sun .... but looked out my window and saw this guy sitting about three feet from my front door ... so I went out with my camera instead of my coffee .... it's usual for the cranes to be out there for their graze walk .... but I've never seen one alone just sitting in the grass .... By the way .... when standing erect he's about 5 feet tall .... and I'm a NYC guy .... I've never been three feet away from wildlife that large .... and with a beek that sharp and menacing .... thankfully he wasn't as scared as I was ... and stayed calm for the shot ....
Not this hound . Cat man .. Miss Holly .. one little dog with a big dose of attitude .
