low tide

Spanish Banks, Vancouver

summer is all too brief in Vancouver...and even then the spells of good weather are often short...so when a weekend is actually sunny and warm, then the seashore comes alive with throngs of locals...sailing, swimming, and paddling around in the shallows at low tide...passing a celebratory day at the beach while the rare opportunity lasts

A rather monumental shot of humanity engaging in a timeless pursuit of enjoying the shoreline. The background completes the feeling, excellent. V

This reminds me of our wonderful holiday to Canada in '05 with a hot and humid week in Vancouver. We had several days on the beach, probably just where you're standing! A lovely restful and happy shot David...V

Beautiful, timeless shot. of one of my favourite places in the world. The only place better than Spanish Banks in summertime is Spanish Banks in summertime at low tide. V.

I like the scatterlings, the watercraft but most of all the dog on the right. Very much in the style of Pieter Brueghel.

Maybe it is the great ship passing over the horizon or the hunters poking around in the rocks, but this image has a significant transportive power. V

love the steamy appeal from a sultry summer day! The silhouettes are terrific! Add in boats and a mountain and you have it all ~V~

Hey David, we are often down there with our children. A lovely way to wet our feet and cool off. I think we are
the group in the distant left...LOL! V

Wonderful scene of people enjoying the low tide in different ways. The lighting nicely accentuates their postures. "V"

Great beach scene with the big cruise ship and the sail boat in the background. V
