Acadia Beach

a runoff stream from the Point Grey cliffs above the beach reveals signs of the ice age sediments that underlie Vancouver...the sand and rocks were dragged across the area by glaciers, up to 2 km deep where the city now stands

You can tell the power of ice and snow by how smooth the rocks are. V

The little bit of green growth showing trying to get a foothold works for me.

Love the low pov, here. V

That looks a little slippery. Hope you weren't walking on those rocks!

The photograph captures not just a moment in time, but a connection to the distant past — a story of movement, deposition, and transformation that makes this seemingly simple coastal scene truly remarkable...V

Wet and rounded, a lovely shot of these. Their origin is probably quite far from where they now rest.

Ancient well-traveled rocks. Lovely in the wet and light.

A pretty cool shot, even more when contemplating the origins of this site.

Excellent in the scattered shadows. They look like potatoes frozen in stone!
