JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS!
Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 18 October 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
My friend Peter had promised to drive me up Cypress Mountain, where I would be able to see the whole of the Lower Mainland of Vancouver. Well! Um! Er! The morning fog was supposed to burn off by lunchtime. However at 2:00 pm this was the kind of day it was - the city of Vancouver, Stanley Park and the Port of Vancouver, all still shrouded in fog! I still like the view of the Lion's Gate Bridge though! This is where all the large cargo ships, cruise lines, etc. come into port. There were several at anchor out in English Bay - large freighters - waiting to come in - but I could hardly see them either. Well! at 5000 feet up a mountain (the marker from the viewpoint said so) what do you expect on a foggy day. Must go up there again when its bright and clear, and the sun moved a bit further west to light up the city and Stanley Park. The bridge goes across from West Vancouver - which is just below us, right through to the highway through Stanley Park, and then into downtown Vancouver. Still much devastation through the park - trees down etc. from last Decembers gales. That same day I flew home from Vernon before going to Mexico. As we descended (descent starts about halfway from Vernon) it was a very, very bumpy ride!
Please don't forget the aminus3 Members Forum - many signed up who haven't posted anything! A few more aminus3 photobloggers have signed up lately and posted! The more posts we get the more interesting it will be for everyone. Try and spare a few minutes to post your questions, tutorials, or discuss your photos in general. Or, just nose around and say hi!
Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!
Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
