Jones Lake

 When the water is low, like it is this time of year, and you walk up the west side of the lake, you find where the trees were all cut short so you wouldn't see their remains poking up through the water. Jones Lake is a fake lake. It's the result of a dam that makes electricity for BC.


 Some black and white, some colour. I looked at every single one in both formats, some spoke to me in colour, some spoke to me in black and white.







 It's kind of eerie. And delightfully beautiful at the same time.




 I'll go back again, maybe in a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll bring a film camera. Maybe. No promises.

False idols


I see more similarities in the subject matter of these photos than maybe I should.

Sea Wall, etc.

 8  years in this city and I've never ridden a bike around the sea wall. It's also rare to have a Friday night without an obligation.


 "Things to do in Vancouver..." Nearly every list will include the sea wall or Stanley Park. A big part of My Daily Image is about taking photographs of where I live that aren't specifically about where I live. It's not about the icons; mountains, forests, and oceans; but they sneak in from time to time.


 This trip around the sea wall was about the journey, and not about the sea wall. Nearly 30kms round trip but through some very familiar territory, it's getting harder and harder to find things I'm inspired to take photographs of.


 And the sea wall is the last thing I would seek out to take photographs of, and I mostly didn't take photographs of it tonight.


Mostly.
