Images of the Pacific Northwest on Canada Day

Even though in some parts of the Lower Mainland petrol hit just over $1.50 (thanks to the biggest asshole in British Columbia wonderful man in BC, Gordon Campbell). Ahh, the completely redundant Carbon Tax which the funds will be used only for the MLA’s beer and pretzels. Joy. With honest, hardworking people taking the proverbial dildo in the ass for said beer and pretzels.

Joy.

Well, as prices increase, I further become joyous that I’ve taken the daily commute to transit. With the current costs I’m saving close to $80 per month (while still insuring the car). And on a random, in the middle of the week one day holiday, it’s nice to get out, even for a short while.

Dawn and I hit Pacific Spirit Park this afternoon, and I took it upon myself to practice getting better at Black and White photography. Amazing how much technology is put into digital cameras to create more realistic colour, and I just simply go backwards a step. Still, I like the edgier, old feel (especially when shooting with a higher ISO value to give the grain feel as well).

Howe Sound Revisited

Well, this was the same day as Shannon Falls (as a winter sunny day in Vancouver is a rare occurence).

Enjoy.

That is all.

Why I can’t live anywhere but Beautiful British Columbia

Reason #1: Views like this:

Now mind you this is an hour drive from home, but views just as stunning, and even more stunning, are abound throughout this giant province of ours. This particular view is from Shannon Falls Provincial Park, looking across to the mountains the other side of Howe Sound, just south of Squamish.

Nothing like getting away from it all after a hellish week.

That is all.

Being sick is too much work

I have to fill in more paperwork before I head back to the ranch tomorrow than I do on a normal work day. Luckily, Dawn and I had a good walk today, and here is one of the photographic results:

That is all.
