In the ditch
October 25th, 2019 — It was very windy along North West Marine drive on Saturday but enough to send a Tesla into the ditch; I don’t think so. It took two tow trucks to pull the car out.
Windy
October 25th, 2019 — High winds brought the wind surfers out to English Bay while below the wind and blowing sand makes walking difficult on Spanish Banks.
Rowboat and chairs
September 17th, 2019 — Vesuvius Beach, Salt Spring Island.
Burning rubber
October 14th, 2019 — New subdivisions everywhere, even peaceful idyllic Salt Spring Island, are plagued with kids driving fast cars burning rubber. This spot is on Spring Gold Way just off Juniper Road.
Lost truck
September 25th, 2019 — A second world war army truck abandoned on the Baden Powell Trail just above Millstream Road, West Vancouver. It’s probably left over from when Hollyburn Ridge, as it was then called, was logged in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. The Baden Powell Trail used to be known as Skid Road Trail.
One, two, tree

Vancouver skyline

UBC cricket field
October 6th, 2019 — A quick game of cricket on UBC’s east mall, once trees and grass, is now played on concrete and resembles an inner city basketball game. Construction on the campus has turned what was many years ago a leafy, grassy, comfortable university into a downtown metropolis with architecture similar in style to 1950’s Moscow. University people profess to be green, to believe in global warming, but they cut down trees and pave lawns as fast as a gyppo logging outfit.
Empty bridge
October 7th, 2019 — The Burrard Street Bridge today during the afternoon rush hour was very quiet and empty. It had been closed all day to car traffic because of a climate protest at center span.
