Still On The Fraser

Since my last few 

posts have been 

of the Fraser River, 

I thought 

to wrap up with 

these 

few pictures of 

well-used boats 

and buildings 
photographed 

on yet 

another Sunday 

drive. 

My eye is always drawn to the tattered, the battered and the abandoned.  Capturing them against a dramatic sky or floating in reflective waters is a bonus.

The Fraser River provides me with a bountiful supply of possibilities.  We've been watching this old boat shed collapse slowly over the last few years, but it suddenly seems to have lost its fight altogether. 

  

The same can be said of this little boat we've driven past many times. Pictured here on a brighter day three years ago, this comparison makes clear that time and the river's ebb and flow have definitely taken their toll.

Along this weather-beaten pier, some dear soul had bedecked the rails with flower baskets and flags to celebrate Canada Day.

Their bright joy was an exclamation mark against the somewhat murky background.

I hope you've enjoyed my river pics. I'm linking up today to both Skywatch 

Friday and Weekend Reflections...if you wish to see more shots from all over the world, do check out these great links...
