Vancouver, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

Finally I visited Vancouver during Easter last month, a beautiful city with its spectacular scenery. We were lucky with the weather, beautiful days and a temperature of about 55 to 65 degrees F. We spent two days in the city before taking the cruise would take us to Victoria, Astoria Oregon, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and ending in Los Angeles. I do not come very often to TE but I want to hear from my old friends whom I miss dearly .

Hope you like the picture.

Hello Emile,
Fantastic view of Vancouver with the green forested hills behind the city and the high snowcapped mountains as a great backdrop.
The landing plane is an extra wonderful element.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Emille!!! I like the composition view of Vancouver here with a pleasing balance FG sea and plane! and BG The tones and textures are very well rendered under a good light and the image has excellent sharpness.

Buenos d燰s Emile,
Me alegro de verte de nuevo en TE.
La foto que nos presentas es muy bonita, ya que combina el mar con la ciudad y las altas monta鎙s.
El detalle de los barcos y la avioneta le dan un toque de color.
Gracias por compartir.
Saludos, Carlos

Hola, amigo Emile,
qu� alegr燰 verte de nuevo aqu�, me he enterado por mi hermano, que me ha dicho que hab燰 votado otra nueva foto tuya, y ahora que he llegado a casa despu廥 del trabajo, lo primero que voy a hacer es valorarla como se merece y como te mereces t�.
Veo que hab嶯s estado en Vancouver, una cudad que me gustar燰 mucho conocer, pero que me queda demasiado lejana. Adem嫳, inici壾s un fant嫳tico crucero por toda la costa del Pac璗ico, desde Canad� hasta California, que deseamos disfrut嶯s a tope.
La foto es muy bella, me gusta ese skyline de la ciudad con las altas monta鎙s nevadas al fondo, el cielo nublado y el mar azul, en una imagen muy bien iluminada y con unos colores muy naturales.
El peque隳 hidroavi鏮 aporta un buen dinamismo a la composici鏮.
Deseamos que toda la familia est� bien, y que vuestra salud sea muy buena, y esperamos con ilusi鏮 el volver a vernos alg𠒇 d燰.
Recibid todos un fuerte abrazo, y muchos cari隳s para Rosa,
Pili y Josep

Tous mes compliments et j'esp鋨e qu'on va pouvoir te revoir.
Passe un belle fin de semaine,
Emilius

Hello Emile,

Your latest photo alerted me to your visit to Trekearth, indeed part of a visit to the Pacific Northwest. The view of the small plane coming in for a water landing is well timed. It has been many years since I made a cruise from San Francisco, up the Inland Sea to Juneau, the returned to San Francisco. The ship at the time was the Royal Viking Line, the best of cruise lines in the 70s and 80s.

Warm regards,

Bulent

To be more precise, this photograph is showing the north shore/part of Vancouver, and what you see is not the city's downtown, but just a residential area, down there used to be an old shipyard, which has been dis manteled not long ago to make a room for new developemnets. Anyway the capture of the water airplain is nice, yet very easy to observe during a day, there is a sea airport and petro station located nearby, also a helicopter deck on the other side of the convention centre. Just below where the airplane is at, there is a seabus line connection between the Vancouver downtown and the North Vancouver, though the best view point on both parts of the ciry, I think is from the Stanley Park, almost entirely surrounded by water. By the road, you have only two choices to get there over two old bridges, which is way not enough for thousands of motorists using that route to the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, and further by road to Squamish-Wistler mountain resorts.
