Amongst my many contacts over on Flickr are several other railfans. One of them, Patrick Dirden, was recently in Vancouver and snapped a photo of the Columbia River Drawbridge from the station platform. There are no trains in the image but he put together a wonderful composition which shows the lines of the open draw span nicely.
I’ve been down there hundreds of times, yet I don’t think I’ve ever taken this shot. Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to see something that’s been in our faces all along…
