When it comes to my take on the recent cold spell in Metro Vancouver, I would say that the glass is certainly half full…and in this case, with the other half filled with ice! Prolonged periods of cold temperatures do not happen that many times in a winter and in some years not at all here on the south coast. …
On a recent Sunday morning I walked along the North Arm of the Fraser River in the Burnaby Foreshore Park looking for interesting compositions. The river was surprisingly smooth and the reflections with the morning winter light were very pleasing. This row of cottonwood trees has always looked impressive on previous visits. I decided to capture them again given how …
With rain on the way for the later evening and weekend, I wanted to get out for some photos. Being close by and an area I have not explored much, New Westminster seemed a good choice. There is an interesting vibe in New West, with it’s mixture of old and new and upscale and downtrodden. As I headed towards the …
An area I haven’t explored before is the south Delta area along the Fraser River, including Westham Island. This time of year is perfect for exploring local sights given the shorter daylight and fickle weather. As you drive further west out of the community of Ladner, the more back in time the whole area feels. Here is one such sight, …
Here and there indeed as I rambled through various sites in south Burnaby and Port Royal last weekend. In search of fall colours, I took a walk through Burnaby’s Central Park on Saturday. While the vine maple there was mostly green, there were several patches that had turned orange to red. On Sunday, I walked through Byrne Creek Ravine Park …
Clinton is a great jumping off point to see the unique landscape and forested regions west towards the Fraser River. On this day outing I visited the three Big Bars, the Big Bar Reaction Ferry at the Fraser River, Little Big Bar Lake, and Big Bar Lake. Driving southwest from Clinton along the paved Clinton-Pavilion Road leads through ranch land …
Over the past several days, I have been out to several sites photographing and I thought it would be a nice change from my usual posts to share a few photos from each. On Boxing Day I headed over to Pritchett Creek located in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park looking for some ice and snow shots. There was a few inches …
It was an early start this morning at Steveston, located along the Fraser River. Arriving before sunrise at a marina near No. 2 Road, I was eager to capture some night photos of the boats and lights. Near sunrise, I spotted the illuminated low clouds and fog over the Fraser River and quickly made my way to the London Landing …
There were a few short dry spells this weekend in between the rain showers and I took advantage of those opportunities. On Saturday I headed over to Noons Creek in the residential area of Port Moody which provided a quick entry point. The creek was running high with good volume from the recent rain and the melting snow on Eagle …
The scenic Fraser River Canyon and the Thompson River Canyon, a spectacular sight at any time of year, are even more so with the fall colours at their peak. The rivers have cut through limestone and volcanic layers leaving vast sections of deep narrows canyons. As I left Hope early Friday morning beginning the climb to the Fraser Plateau via the Fraser Canyon, the …
