While on the Canada Line from Vancouver to Richmond, B.C. I spied a sculpture on the skyline. One right and a quick left from our hotel and an old-school waterfront appeared, featuring a walking path and imaginative art installations.
The photographic conditions were spectacular: warm, morning light, a fierce hoar frost embalming the rocks and vegetation, and not a breath of wind. I shot on two settings: aperture priority and pre-programmed landscape, accounting for the variance in the shades of water and sky. The photos practically took themselves and required almost no post-production.
I had 45 short minutes to shoot before our shuttle’s departure, and a bucket full of good luck. Here’s what happiness looks like.

That blue! So gorgeous. The contrasts in the ones with the boathouses remind me of the light in Yellowknife — blue blue sky, clean buildings with geometrical beauty. (Only in Yellowknife, the houseboats on the lake were painted vivid primary colours. Amazing to see them against the ice and water.)
I know, right? I’ll post pics of my newly-sided house, which should have a similar effect to the houseboats.
Ace you are an amazing photographer!,!
