It took me literally ten minutes to take this picture at Lynn Canyon, North Vancouver. That place is so busy that I had to wait about 10 minutes for the people to move out from the scene and make this bridge kind of abandoned.

On my hike in BC, I passed through this area - the trees shift happened unexpectedly. At first, you’re in an area of low lying bushes and ferns and then – BAM – 100+ foot tall pines everywhere. It’s a beautiful area to move through and happy I savored the moment.

The grouse grind is unique and definitive of the Vancouver people. To me - the city lacked the ‘umph’ and culture of a special city, but that’s because its surrounded by gorgeous nature in all directions. Why stay in the city on the weekends – the grouse grind exemplifies this outdoorsy spirit. A hike that’s 2.9 km long but during those you gain 853 meters of elevation. Shot this while i still had the energy when the treeline transitioned.

Everyone’s seen the iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, BC. What’s less often seen are the views from the tree canopy walk on the other side of the bridge. Hundreds of years-old Douglas Fir trees tower high above you as you make your way from platform to platform. These trees aren’t Redwoods, but don’t be fooled, they’re massive and awe-inspiring all the same.

This bridge is a staple in my hometown of Vancouver. I like to think this image represents the idea of canceling the unnecessary noise on the outside and focusing on the task at hand. Almost like a perspective of ‘tunnel vision.’

I was in Vancouver, BC visiting a college, and my family and I decided to spend the day in Stanley Park. Near the end of the day, as the sun was starting to go down, we walked onto Lions Gate Bridge, and I saw a sliver of light shining on the lighthouse below us, so I pulled out my camera and took a shot before it disappeared.

While driving to Whistler/Blackcomb on a late Friday evening with the hope of taking pictures for the weekend, the roads were deserted and the sun was setting. The highway, Interstate 90, offered few clear views of the surrounding area. As I came around a curve approaching Anvil Island, a brief opening of a view lended itself to see the bay converging with the mountains with the light fading fast. I stood on a jersey barrier the width of a balance-beam off Interstate 90 balanced with the camera over my head and the viewfinder tilted down to frame the shot. Maybe 50% luck, 50% balance.

I had just come home from a long day at work, and needed some time to just take in the beauty of this city. I struggled to find parking, worrying I would lose the last of the light for the evening. I wandered around Olympic Village (where this shot was taken), and ended up finding this… only to realize I forgot my tripod. I quickly set my camera down on the uneven ground, and made a makeshift “stand” by levelling out the camera with the strap… And the shot captured the essence of Vancouver beautifully: a cityscape surrounded by beautiful mountains and the ocean grasping at its shores.

I took this photo on my first year in Vancouver when I was crazy in love with the city. Everything seemed so beautiful and full of life, hope and opportunity. It was a city in which I believed everything was possible. I took this photo during the first meetup and first photo walk I ever attended. As the housing crisis grew and years went by, Vancity’s colours started fading away. I never got to see its colours like this again.

After a hike up in the fog we couldn’t see anything at the top of the mountain, on our descent I turned around to look behind us because the light seemed pretty nice and this is what I saw.

As I was descending Black Mountain in Cypress, I witnessed some beautiful light diffraction in the air just after the sunset. This gave me a sky graduated in colors from orange to blue. I used my zoom lens to capture this amazing natural effect.

Coming back from salmon fishing at sunset the sunset lit Vancouver as the moon rose above the city, this was one of the last nice days before the clouds of winter came into the city.

We don’t get nearly enough clear days in Vancouver, but when we do the views everywhere are spectacular. This photo was taken from the beach just north of the University of British Columbia campus.

Herons regularly fish along the shores of Vancouver but on this warm August Sunday the tide was out in the afternoon so the beaches will filled with playing dogs and children, making much fewer place for the herons to fish. I found this one a ways from the popular beaches fishing peacefully till I bothered him by snapping some photos.

The beautiful thing about living in Vancouver is the access to local, beautiful places like this. On this day, I was stressed out, tired and a little down on my luck. My remedy? Grab a Car Share, grab my camera and head out to the mountains for sunset. The result? This beautiful image that I love. Enjoy.
