The other day Sean and I went for a photo ramble starting at Mallard Point, at the far east end of Fish Creek. It's a big place, taking 15 or 20 minutes to drive there, and probably 45 or 50 to ride my bike there through the park.
I don't know about him, but no photos leaped off the landscape into my camera. This is as good as it got, a quintessentially Canadian scene. The locals have adopted a creek and little lagoon off the Bow and built up the ice for a rink. There's a snowblower and sweeper tucked under a nearby pedestrian bridge.

Even though Fish Creek is a provincial park, and this is in it, I'm pretty sure, we don't think this is a provincial operation. That would be bigger and more official looking, and there'd be a proper storage shed. Good for the locals!
I think I'll give you a random assortment of Vancouver Island photos. These are from the Botanical Beach and Botany Bay area.

1 Your result is much more successful than mine – I like your version. The west coast maybe wet, but it is lush. 7 and 9 capture the drama of the coast – I like them too. In 9 I’m not convinced the smaller outcrop on the far left helps the image. 10 also says black and white to me. Cheers, Sean
