English Bay In February

February 8, 2008

Whenever people who dodn’t live here ask how we can stand all those grey days and rain, I just have to pull out a shot like this one.

Late yesterday afternoon while passing through the West End on my way back to the North Shore, I pulled over to grab this shot of English Bay.

English Bay on a post-storm Monday afternoon.

This deep sea makes some mist as it turns downwind at the fairway buoy bound for Vancouver. That’s Vancouver Island in the far background, and the low darker green are Gulf Islands.

Sublime English Bay

Even though it was pelting with rain, English Bay looked marvelous today. These shots (yes, they’re photographs) have a real oil painting look to them, thanks to the rain and the saturated print.
