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.

Balusters on a portion of the Albert Memorial Bridge in Regina. The bridge was built in the 1930s as a make-work project. The balusters have a ceramic glaze, displaying Art Deco designs and colours. About ten years ago the balusters were removed and renewed while the bridge was being rebuilt. The east side is the most accessible for photography and the golden hour light shows off the balusters to the best effect.

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.

The Albert Memorial Bridge was built in the 1930s as a make-work project during the Great Depression. The bridge features Art Deco balusters on both sides. The balusters are classed as municipal heritage property. I took this image shortly after the balusters were renewed as part of a bridge rehabilitation project.
