Canada

Presumably a volleyball net -- which means you play in waist deep water at high tide? Near Parksville, Vancouver Island. At dawn.
The Canada nobody warns you about: slippery rocks in a river. This should have been the last photo from that water-logged camera but it dried out over the hotel radiator and worked again. Clean water up there in BC, obviously.
Canada does this so often and well: still, remote lakes. This one near Egmont (Pop: few) at the tip of the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia.
Ferry from Horseshoe Bay in British Columbia, Canada. Nothing to do but waste time taking photos of sea, sky and distant islands. Perfect.
Dawn at Lac Le Jeune, British Columbia, Canada.
Pine logs ready for shipping on Lake Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada.
Night traffic on Robson St, Vancouver from the 11th floor
Another in a series of my favourite image: something burned out or abandoned, this time a service station somewhere between Kelowna and Chilliwack, British Columbia.
Early morning in Vancouver. Canada Place (left) and the city seen from Stanley Park.
Inside the Vancouver Art Gallery: see other domes (Austin, Texas and Natchez) later in Images From Elsewhere. A theme emerges.
Dawn on the beach near Parksville, BC, Canada
Inside the elegant Empress Hotel in Victoria, Vancouver Island.
Library in Vancouver, Canada
Pier on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada
Dawn at sleepy Egmont in British Columbia. I asked a guy what the population was and he said without hesitation,
When the camera goes wrong/right in British Columbia, late at night. Unintentional abstract minimalism. In another context, award winning probably.
Jetty near Egmont on the northern tip of the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada.(Population two: not pictured)
The mysterious glowing toilet bag in a hotel room in Whistler, Canada. No rational explanation.
Sandwiches for all occasions? In Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.
From the pier at Gibsons, another apostrophe-free town in town in British Columbia. They filmed the famous and long-running Canadian television series The Beachcombers here. Quaint, beautiful and quiet -- and only about 45 minutes from Vancouver.
Oh Canada! It offers everything. Religious, not a porno store.
Reflection on downtown Vancouver
Sunset in Vancouver from the 17th floor
Just another boringly photogenic lake in British Columbia, Canada.
Morning at Lac Le Jeune in British Columbia, Canada. Beavers all around here but as silent as the moon at dawn.
Interior/exterior of the exceptional public library in Vancouver, Canada. Designed by Israel-born, Montreal-raised, Boston-resident Moshe Safdie, it resembles an unpeeling Colosseum. Safdie is a Louis Kahn apprentice . . . and a genius.
The Vancouver Public Library in BC, Canada. Socially functional architecture bridging the gravitas of the ancient and contemporary needs, and is a work of genius ... so you might like to check the following pix at Images From Elsewhere.
