Joel and I decided last Sunday to get the hell out of Edmonton (yay!). We headed northwest to Rochfort Bridge (near Mayerthorpe). There lies a big wooden rail trestle spanning a small river valley. It's a very cool structure, with the symmetry of the latticework and texture of the wood quite visually impressive. I still find Lethbridge's trestle to be a more fascinating structure, but it's definitely worth a peek if you are architecturally inclined. It was a fun trip, but the weather was way fucking colder than I expected, and the snow surrounding the bridge, too deep. Which reminds me, March is the biggest fraud month of the year. Spring, my ass.
