Hidden under the bustle of Vancouver’s popular Granville Island is a warren of old pilings used to support the piers serving the island. False Creek shows us a lower water level here, leaving these pilings high and dry. The darker portion is filled with crusty detail showing us the area that was once under water. The focal point of the image is in the detail as well – a “caution” ribbon, a relic of some long ago emergency, hangs on the middle piling. It marks the entrance of green plantings into the image as well.
