We had rain every day earlier this week. A storm system slowly rolled off the Pacific as they do at this time of year. At least our drought has finally ended!
Today, the weather cleared up a bit. It looks to be quite a fantastic weekend. The photo above shows where we live. We're in downtown New Westminster, BC in the taller of the two central towers. Our balcony looks towards Columbia Street, the New Westminster Parkade, and Westminster Pier Park.
Pier Park is like a personal lawn, except the city does the mowing and maintenance. I snapped a couple of pictures during my little morning walk.
In the picture directly above, the SkyTrain bridge crosses the Fraser River. Two trains are on the left side of the crossing. Behind, the 86-year-old Pattullo Bridge is finally being replaced. In fact, you will note the central bridge support of its replacement further back. The new bridge is expected to open next year and the old structure will come down.
