Viewing Life From Safety
Simon Fraser Bridge
Posted by Michael Rawluk (Williams Lake, BC, Canada) on 19 November 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Can you guess which explorer's name was given to the Simon Fraser Bridge?
Hint: It was not Sir Alexander Mackenzie.
I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.
I also have blogs at:

Ummmm, ummmm, *head scratch* Simon Fraser? could it be??
Phenomenal perspective in any case. What an image. That mist is to die for.

Umm, let's see... was it Billy Bob or his cousin? They were always in a fog.
Heh, really nice photo of this bridge today; I like the BW treatment -- added with the fog, it lends a hint of mystery to the scene.

Great foggy shot, b/w is very appropriate here!
P.S.:
15 days, 20 hours in airplanes, 1500 km in a bus and 2115 photos later I'm back from a terrific trip through Tunisia. Am trying to catch up with all of our regular visitors and their recent postings. If you want to see my photos of the trip, go to http://web.mac.com/wolfgang.prigge1 and click on the word "Tunisie" in the top right corner. From there follow the instructions to see the different albums. It might be a bit long with a slow connection. And no, I did not put all my photos up, I managed to wrestle them down to about 800....

Great shot.
There's something about bridges and fog that's almost magical, that something so massive and solid can 'disappear' so easily.

I absoultly could not drive over that bridge. I would wonder if the end were missing. This is a beautiful shot. I hope you stayed on this side.

This is really a great shot. I'm still trying to figure out how you made this shot from this angle.

Beautiful Michael - I love everything about both the photo and the way you've converted it to b&w - really nicely done!

Michael, I am speechless....this image is absolutely stunning! You're really working hard to win me over to B/W photography, aren't you?

I don't know how I missed this one Michael as it's fantastic...just the kind of thing I'd have loved to have done myself. The reason I caught it just now is that it seems to have captured other bloggers attention at VFXY where it had been favourited a few times by the look of it!
