I spent the first two weeks of this year exploring urban areas of Metro Vancouver. The weather at this time of year can be a mixed bag so urban outings allow me to take advantage of the optimum weather windows.JOn one of the trips along River Road, I headed down a side road and spotted these Seaspan rail ferries on …
In late November and with a break in the weather, a friend and I headed over to Terra Nova and walked along the dykes fronting the Fraser River and the Vancouver Airport. Looking across the Fraser River at the south terminal with float planes. Winter can often be a great time to capture the form of deciduous trees such as …
Last Saturday we went exploring some areas along Highway 7, including the sunrise at the Alouette River, Fraser Valley views from Mount Woodside, blueberry fields near Dewdney, and the Westminster Abbey. Sun rising over the Alouette River in rural Maple Ridge. After the sunrise, we walked a short distance down river. I noticed two deciduous trees framing the silo on …
Over the last few weeks I have explored various areas in the western Fraser Valley . This is really the first year that I have spent any time poking around here and I must say there are some interesting areas and vantage points. Devon Falls is tucked behind residential housing on the south-west side of Sumas Mountain. The conditions were …
Earlier this month I took a drive along River Road which follows the Fraser River, on the south side of the river on Lulu Island. I had been out to the Pitt Addington / Grant Narrows the day prior, so this was a day to simply explore and see the opportunities. The River Road section between the Knight Street Bridge …
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 …
