Portside Park, on the northwest side of Gastown, was a short walk from the hotel we stayed at last week in Vancouver, BC. It’s a small shoreline park with some very nice harbour views.

While in Vancouver, BC this past week we stayed a few nights at the Patricia Hotel on East Hastings Street. The neighborhood is a little shady, but the price was right, the room was fine, and the proximity to downtown was ideal. I took this shot from our fourth floor room. To keep the camera steady for the 2 second exposure I rested it on top of the push-out window.

Oftentimes, life seems random–like there’s no there there. And sometimes I get a wild hair to say that, and visualize it in an abstract way.

Today is the beginning of my Thanksgiving week off. Woo hoo! I didn’t stop during the commute so here’s a shot I took yesterday of the Golden Gate Bridge. I titled the post “yet another bridge shot” because I cross it twice every work day and consequently have captured hundreds of images of it.

Canon T2i on repeat.
There’s a change in the weather! The wind came back to the Bay Area bringing the fog with it. Rain will follow. On my way home, I took advantage of the transition away from the smoggy doldrums and made a short stop at the view point at the northbound end of the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog was rolling in quickly, but I managed to grab some shots of the city before it got completely enveloped.
