Another Sunday breakfast and drive. Switched it up! Went out of our normal circuit again. Last Sunday was North Burnaby. This week it was the North Shore and under the Iron Workers' Memorial Bridge (originally named the Second Narrows Bridge).
Note: In June of 1958, a crane collapsed. 79 workers fell 30 metres (98 ft) into the water. 19 were killed either instantly or shortly afterward from their injuries, some possibly drowned by their heavy tool belts. The bridge collapse was due to a miscalculation by bridge engineers. In 1994 the bridge was renamed "Iron Workers' Memorial Bridge.

| Heading for North Vancouver. |
 |
| These heavy coils of iron were embedded in the ground everywhere. |
 |
| Clouds were moving in interesting formations. |
 |
| The bridge. |
 |
| This is a steel truss cantilever bridge. |
 |
| It's made of styrofoam. Buoy? |
 |
| Looks like the surface of a distant planet. |
 |
| Sheets of this mesh were everywhere too. |
 |
| There were a bunch of these lying about too. No clue what it is. |
 |
| The two bridges. |
 |
| Deafening clatter overhead. |
 |
| Nature's delicat strength survives in the toughest spots. |
 |
| Train testle. |
 |
| Art or Vandalism? |
 |
| It's like wearing ankle socks I bet. |
 |
| I love living in British Columbia! |
 |
| Much speculation but no closer to knowing what this actually is. |
 |
| Those amazing whisps of cloud. |
 |
| Still no closer to figuring it out. |
 |
| One way into Harbour View Park. |
 |
| Sit a spell before you hit the trail. |
 |
| Those clouds from my passenger seat window heading home. |
Next trip: Centenial Beach. With sun and wind and a 3 alarm sunburn.
