Sometimes it is difficult for me to choose the best shot.
GIVE ME YOUR OPINION, tell me why you like the one you do. It will be fun to hear what you have to say. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

This dinner cruise begins at False Creek behind the Plaza of Nations, passes beneath three bridges, and mingles with a variety of other water vessels on its way to the open waters, where we turn around in the twilight to return to the dock again. Photos are in the order that the cruise progresses. You will see our beautiful city of Vancouver as we see it from our cruise vessel. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

This album includes the COQUIHALLA HIGHWAY (Hwy5). The Coquihalla Pass allows Highway 5 to cut through the Canadian Cascade mountain range. The summit of this highway is 1244m (4081ft). Conditions during the winter can make this highway treacherous. See Wikipedia for more info on the Coquihalla area. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

Some of these photos also appear in my other albums (eg. Steveston, Vancouver)

Steveston is about a half hour drive south from Vancouver, BC. It is very near Finn Slough, and it neighbors Richmond. On this outing we walk along Steveston's waterfront towards the historic area, which has a lot of interest, but I have no time tonight to add the historic part of the commentary. Please come back later. Photos were snapped in February, 2008. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

ALBUM: POINT ROBERTS, Washington State, USA

Every spring a carnival of sideshows and similar amusements sets up in BCPlace Stadium in Vancouver. Note: All Photographs are copyrighted.

While this may not look like an interesting category, I have discovered that by making a project of a certain subject there is a lot I can learn about photography. Places of worship have interesting architecture. I enjoy the drama of the tall steeples, and the skewed edges of the buildings created when attempting to capture the entire building in a single photo. Some are difficult to capture in only one view.
Some photos in this album are simply record shots, but I will return during different weather and sunlight to get a better shot. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

These photos have had one or more 'filters' applied to make them look like paintings. I have lots to learn, there is much more to Digital Art than this, but these are pretty. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

Our City is so lush with vegetation, that sometimes it is difficult to tell when we are actually in a park. Enjoy. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

Old or new, our buildings are grand. Many are built with glass to reflect their surroundings, including the sky and the sunsets. Many heritage buildings in the downtown area have been refurbished to become apartments. Note: All photos are copyrighted.

I use two cameras, my Nikon tends to have a more sepia effect, which I prefer. My Panasonic cannot copy that, but I also like the photos the Panasonic produces, so I do not see the point of manipulating them in the photo editor.
WHICH DO YOU LIKE BETTER? TELL ME IN MY GUESTBOOK OR IN THE COMMENTS. The Panasonic pic numbers begin with a P, the Nikon pics begin with DSCN.

ALBUM: GENERAL - NO CATEGORY - PHOTOS ADDED REGULARLY
These pics were snapped across British Columbia. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

PLEASE CLICK ON EACH PHOTO FOR THE COMMENTARY. We walk on the boardwalk of New Westminster Quay in mid afternoon. The body of water is the Fraser River, only a few
miles from the end of its journey to the Pacific Ocean. This is February 18 in Vancouver, what beautiful weather, is the rest of Canada jealous? Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

Much of this area, south of Vancouver and Richmond, is agricultural land. Point Roberts, WA is just south of Tsawwassen. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

ALBUM: KAMLOOPS and AREA, in the province of British Columbia, CANADA - Kamloops is located in the southern interior
of the province of British Columbia. The city can be compared to a hub, roads radiating away from it in many different directions,
so there is a lot of different scenery to explore in this area. Within the city of Kamloops, the North Thompson and South
Thompson Rivers combine into one, the Thompson River of course, which flows west to become a major tributory of the mighty
Fraser River, finally emptying into the Pacific Ocean. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.

This picturesque area is half an hour south of my home in the south part of Vancouver. For more info about this area and the
Finn Slough Heritage & Wetland Society on the south arm of the Fraser River go to http://www.finnslough.com/

A Photo Essay of Geocaching in Batchelor Hills, a part of the north side of City of Kamloops. My friend uses his GPS to locate Geocaches across Canada. I accompanied him and his wife to check on one of his own geocaches. Some of my photos appear on his website as well, with my permission. The photos will make more sense if you read the story that goes with them. It is September, the hills are usually this color except for early spring when they get lots of moisture from melting snows.

British Columbia is the province on the west coast of Canada, and Alberta is the next province to the east. The Rocky Mountains are between the two provinces. This trip begins in breathtaking Jasper Park in the mountains. We then head north to Athabasca, further north to Fort McMurray, then south to Edmonton (Fort Edmonton Park), and return to Jasper Park again. Note: All photographs are copyrighted.
