Frosty Fraser River in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada

            Winter scene along the Fraser River at Sapperton Landing Park in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada. 

About this photo: The last day of the year was a beautiful day.  We've been in the deep freeze and in the snow since a few days before Christmas. Due to all that snow and my car that’s not equipped with proper tires and all wheel drive, I haven’t been able to get out of my back alley since Christmas Eve as we received almost a foot of snow. We did have a white Christmas and had another dump of snow a few days after that. Thankfully hubby’s car can handle the snow, so while we were out and about to do a little shopping yesterday we stopped at Sapperton Landing Park in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

This park is located along the Fraser River which is a huge river that is now filled with big ice pieces due to all the cold we've had for the last 10 days.  The edge of the river is completely frozen, but in the middle there are just floating pieces of ice going around.  It was later in the afternoon which made for pretty lighting conditions.  I took this photo along the river with a view of the Patullo Bridge and the SkyTrain Bridge crossing the river.

Some information on New Westminster:  New Westminster is a city that belongs to the Greater Vancouver area. New Westminster is located about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver along the Fraser River. This beautiful city is also called "The Royal City". The city also reminds people of San Francisco, especially because of the steep hills in town. So be prepared for those hills!

New Westminster was founded by the Royal Engineers under the command of Colonel Richard Clement Moody, and named by Queen Victoria after her favourite neighbourhood in London, Westminster. It is also the oldest city in western Canada and it was the capital of British Columbia between 1858 and 1866.

Located right in the middle of the Greater Vancouver network today, New Westminster is a charming mix of old and new, with a picturesque waterfront and fabulous Victorian architecture. It's a vibrant and progressive city with a community rich in tradition and respect for its heritage.

Come and visit this beautiful city when you are in Vancouver and find out for yourself how charming this city is. There are many things to see and to visit in New Westminster such as: The Anvil Centre with museums and such, New Westminster Museum and Archives, Iving House, the Samson V Paddle Wheeler, New Westminster Quay Public Market, the Antique Alley, Queen's Park, the 7-11 cycling Trail, the fairly new Westminster Pier Park along the Fraser River with an urban beach and much more.
