hunter

False Creek

most vessels in the inlet are pleasure boats, yet there are a few oddities...this is the MV Cape Pine, built in 1942 for service as a US navy submarine hunter...after WW2 it went to the US Coast Guard for a couple of years, and then was re-fitted as a packer boat and incorporated into the BC salmon and herring fleets...it is currently owned by the Maritime Heritage Society of Vancouver

A really beautiful capture David. The colors, composition and clarity are spectacular. The reflections in the water and the perspective of the Cape Pine really make this just fantastic. So clear and vibrant!! VVV
