Ever see a bridge bend?
This vessel traveled through our province recently, and a friend got some shots of it traveling across the Athabasca River (Alberta) on its way to its home in Fort McMurray. Check out this ride, and take a close look at the bridge!
You can barely see it here... It definitely gets more noticeable!

It is some type of oilfield containment vessel. Very common in northern Alberta.
