a look at some heavy traffic after the Santa Claus parade today in Vancouver

mount Baker as seen from downtown Vancouver.

morning fog over New Westminster BC.

 the granville street bridge.. in the fading light.. just before the rain late this afternoon.

rain in Gastown this evening. washing away any trace of snow.

a touch of alpine glow.... beautiful BC.

full moon over the north shore.

vancouver did get a bit of snow last night, but it turned out to be a pleasant day. this is looking north west, over downtown.

a view of the north shore mountains this afternoon.

yet another shot from the deck......

a friend and colleague from LA was in town today. had to try a little street portrait photography in the downtown east side.

ok, this is my thought. i shot these images 5 minutes, and 5 paces apart. they are completely different, but exactly the same.. there is stark contrast, but my eye was looking for the same thing.

i would be interested in any comments...... 

this shot reminds me of Gotham City (however, i've never been, so......). it's a view of the on going construction of BC Place. tomorrow, i will post another image i shot not 5 paces from this one. it's quite the contrast / check in.

some crazy clouds here today / this is south false creek / vancouver bc.

it was a rainy day in vancouver. of course, that's when you get the rainbow. everybody likes a rainbow.....

a shot from my day trip to whiterock..........

what i woke up to this morning...

here's a shot from the past. i entered it into a "Metro" newspaper  contest, and looks as if they liked it. this is what it says on their web site.

"The global winners’ interviews and photos will be published globally in Metro – reaching an audience of 17 million people!" 

hummm, nice audience for a good old prairie storm shot.......
(sorry to those that received this twice).

a bit of morning mist as seen from the Woodward's Building in Vancouver.

what i see, and how i see it, from the Woodward's building in the downtown/gastown area of vancouver.

i'll call this "me and my shadow". however,  the Sylvia hogs the lime light...

walking out.........

a little ocean fog on English bay.

ok, i've totally milked and over saturated my muskoka adventure.... so that's all for now...
