Horseshoe Bay - Low Tide Perspective

After visiting HR in Point Grey (2017-08-01), it was time to head home. Arriving at Horseshoe Bay, I decided that the low tide provided a unique opportunity to take pictures with a different perspective.

North Vancouver - Lone Rock Point in Indian Arm

On this gorgeous day in August (2006-08-31), Hanne and I set off kayaking, heading for Jug, Raccoon, and Twin Islands. We launched in Deep Cove and made our way along the North Vancouver shore before planning to cross Indian Arm, over to our destination islands. Off the shore we took our postcard picture at Lone Rock Point.

Vancouver - Olympic Village

On a visit with Mom (2017-04-17), it was great to get down to Granville Island and then take one of the little sea busses to the Olympic Village. Once we disembarked from the vessel we took a stroll around the area. In this picture, BC Place Stadium is visible to the left; the water is False Creek.

Vancouver - Granville Island

Easter weekend saw me visiting Mom in Vancouver. We took this opportunity to check out Granville Island and then have lunch in the Olympic Village. The ride on the little False Creek ferry was a first for Mom.

Vancouver - The Trans Canada Trail at Coal Harbour

Felix and I did a quick one-day tour of Vancouver in early January. For the previous few days, the west coast of British Columbia had been shrouded in fog. This day was no exception. Nonetheless, Vancouver showed itself in true postcard fashion. Here we see the Trans Canada Trail at Coal Harbour.

Indian Arm - Stopping off at Twin Islands

Indian Arm - Power Station #2

After a launch at Deep Cove, my kayak trip took me along the west shore of Indian Arm, up to Best Point, where I then crossed the inlet over to Buntzen Bay. A short while later, I paddled around in the vicinity of the two old, historic power stations that used to be fed from Buntzen Lake.

Horseshoe Bay - Waiting for a BC Ferry

Waiting for a ferry at Horseshoe Bay is as good a time as any to take some pictures of the government dock and the many boats in the marina.
