Sunday Bridges - Up In The Air

Sitting in traffic at the Welland Canal waiting for the draw bridge to go down.

This is the best shot I could get of the ship passing through.

    I was just in Welland yesterday. Sadly did not see the bridge raise in peron, so I'm glad I got to see it here. :)

    Funny that your bridge decks are of an open construction. But it must have advantages Like lighter and no rainwater problems.

    Watching ships glide by is a great pastime, but sometimes annoying to be stuck in traffic by a lift bridge.

    Didn't just a small part of you want to rev up your engine and drive like a bat out of hell and try to jump that bridge like Evil Knievel? No? Oh. never mind.

    I was just chatting with my son about the Welland Canal, yesterday. He didn't think he'd ever been there but I reminded him about watching the water level change and the ship passing through. He vaguely remembered. To his credit, he was only about 3 at the time.. almost twenty years ago. Love that second shot, Andy. You sure do get around. :)

    In our area, the draw bridges mostly are raised for sailboats, but the Intercoastal Canal has built its bridges much higher so that there is no need for the traffic delay. I do love the drawbridge... especially when I am on the sailboat!
