Description
Looking south along the St. Clair River which forms part of the international border between Canada and the US. The original bridge that joins Point Edward/Sarnia, Ontario and Port Huron, Michigan, was opened in 1938 and its twin in 1997. With a flow rate of more than 180,000 cubic feet/second, you can imagine the current here, where Lake Huron empties into the St. Clair River. Notice, on the right, two large flags - the Stars and Stripes, and the Canadian Maple Leaf - flying on the US side.

Thanks so much, Lisa! "Under the bridge" is one of my favourite places, in any weather or time of day. I think the water has most to do with it. The waterfront is beautiful to walk on both sides of the border.

Thanks Ann. I love the Great Lakes too. Grew up not far from north shore of Lake Erie, lived in Port Huron for four years in the late 60s, then came back to the Canadian side in '69 and have lived in and around the Sarnia area ever since. One year in college I walked the bridge from Port Huron to Sarnia many, many weekends! No car in those days. ;~) I almost mentioned Livonia in our first exchange since my Mom worked and lived there about 25 years ago! Small world, eh? Would love to see your Port Huron views of the bridge(s).

Fine capture of a familiar landmark! I knew immediately that you took this from Sarnia. My images of the bridge are all from Port Huron, where my grandparents and parents were from. Though all the relatives but one are gone from there now, I still take a day trip to Port Huron once or twice a year. I am hooked on the Great Lakes.
