Terra Cotta baluster 2

Morning light on the balusters on the east side of the Albert Memorial Bridge enhances the colours. I can't say with certainty that each baluster has a unique design, but they do feature different design elements and colours.

Balusters like this one line both sides of the Albert Memorial Bridge in Regina. The bridge was built during the Great Depression as a make-work project. It was refurbished in 2012, including the removal and restoration of the balusters by heritage specialists before they were re-installed.

Scotsgard bridge

A singular example of the concrete "rainbow arch" bridges that were built in Saskatchewan decades ago. This one no longer serves its original purpose, as the road is closed. It remains as a photographer's delight.

Concrete "rainbow arch" bridges were common in the early days of highway construction in Saskatchewan. This one near Scotsgard may be the only six arch example in the province. The winds were gusting and there was light rain when I stopped, but that wasn't going to stop me from taking photos of this bridge.

Albert Memorial balusters

The Albert Memorial Bridge is a municipal heritage property, built in the 1930s. The Art Deco balusters that line each side of the bridge were refurbished in 2012, but the seasons take their toll. The balusters on the east side are easily accessible, which makes them a worthy subject for taking images in early morning light.

meeting at the spillway

Pelicans perched along the spillway from Wascana Lake into the creek of the same name. I think the aerated water likely attracts them because they more easily find a meal there. Maybe they just like the sound of rushing water, and each other's company.

There had been a lot of rain, so the Waskesiu River was flowing fast at it went over four shallow areas on it way to feeding the lake of the same name. A bridge crosses over the river at this spot, and the Parks Canada folks have provided a small parking area for visitors to stop and enjoy the view.

Gulls perch on a bridge railing early in the morning, in Regina's Wascana Park. A moment later I moved too close and they began to take off.

Water droplets form on a spider's web spun within the framework of a bridge over Wascana Creek in Regina.

O, what a tangled web

A close look at a spider's web constructed within the metal framework of a bridge over Wascana Creek. It was a foggy morning, so water droplets had condensed on the filaments of the web. There also appear to be a couple of bugs captured for breakfast.

Art Deco balusters along the Albert Memorial Bridge in Regina, in the morning light. The balusters were restored and repainted about 2012, but time and weather have caused some cracks.

A railway bridge over the valley of the Moose Jaw River. When this image was taken in 2021 the railway that owns this rail line had applied to close the line and remove the bridge.
