Foggy, Foggy Days … and A Couple of Introductions
As mentioned in my last post, many areas of metro Vancouver have been blanketed in fog for a few days. It seems to have lifted today, but it’s interesting; driving to and from work, it’s been somewhat akin to shifting…
Read MoreWest Coast Treetops
Here’s a switch; rather than training my camera from Vancouver’s beaches up over the water to the North Shore, this is a shot from Grouse Mountain. Here, snow-dabbed evergreens rise above the North Shore highrises, ships in harbour, and the…
Read MoreAn Invigorating Start to 2015

Well, this may not represent my regular commute, but crossing Vancouver’s Burrard Street Bridge – 18 years shy of its centennary – at the end of a Fall day makes for a lovely site. These shots showcase Thursday evening’s pastel skies…
