What I most wanted to capture when I was about to take this shot was the flower cluster of Indian Blanket and Evening Primrose. But then I noticed the huge tanker silently approaching and was intrigued with its rather unusual name (for a boat). While I was fully aware of the tanker, a guy walking by and a woman on a park bench were so busy on their phones that they didn't seem to notice a thing!
The ship is sailing along the Fraser River towards the Strait of Georgia and the Pacific Ocean. It's always amazing when a ship of this size ploughs past Garry Point Park in Steveston, Richmond. I hear that once the George Massey Tunnel further east of this point is replaced with a 10 lane bridge, even larger oil tankers will be charging up the river, I presume to the port at New Westminster.
Will that be wisdom for our fairly pristine environment?
