Sigh. Perhaps it’s the combination of rain, fog – which makes for great photo opportunities- and a workload that reflects a two-week break over Christmas, but memories of a visit to Rome are awfully sweet right now. Here’s an image…

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…
