Our walk now takes us under Burrard Bridge and past the fishing boats and sail boats moored in False Creek as we make our way towards Granville Island situated under the Granville Street Bridge, with the high rises of downtown Vancouver seen across the water. The yellow building in the centre is a popular Vancouver restaurant appropriately called Bridges. And so within a few short steps the landscape has changed again.

Continuing along yesterday’s path from Kitsilano Beach the urban landscape changes to give you a new view of Burrard Bridge from where I took Friday’s panoramic view of English Bay.

Yesterday’s landscape for the Weekly Photo Challenge was of English Bay viewed from Burrard Bridge here in Vancouver. Today the landscape is from our afternoon walk along Kitsilano Beach, with people strolling or playing beach volley ball in the warm afternoon sunshine. This glorious beach is a favourite subject of mine as you know and the original Beauty and the Beach was posted in August 2014 with several photos featuring all the activities you could expect to find on a warm summer’s eve. Hard to believe that it is only the beginning of Spring as it felt like a summer’s day today.

Walking across Burrard Bridge in Vancouver this morning and looking out to English Bay the view was more spectacular than ever. I paused in the middle of the span and took this shot using the panorama setting on my iPhone 6S. It was only later that I checked this week’s Photo Challenge from Cheri in which she has invited us to “share a photo of a landscape: a wide establishing shot of a scene in nature or an urban setting.” I think this will do don’t you? 🙂

If you would like to see more pictures of this beautiful Art Deco Bridge that was opened in 1932 check out my post a bridge for all from November 2014, which I posted at that time for the third week of Cheri’s Photography 101.

Happy first day of April.

Happy Valentine’s Day

For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Careful

Constellation I 2.10.15

Today in the studio became a homage to Jackson Pollock, an artist who broke all boundaries.

City of the Imagination I – VIII 23.9.15

City of the Imagination began on Day 261 in response to this week’s Photo Challenge: Grid. Variations VII and VIII were posted yesterday for Day 265, so today I thought I would put all eight together as a final City of the Imagination grid. Look for more to come in the next day or two that will definitely now be off the grid.

Sea to Sky

Returning to Vancouver from Whistler today along the Sea to Sky Highway a brief pause at Porteau Cove Provincial Park once again reveals Super Natural British Columbia in all its glory and also shows why the highway is so perfectly named.
