Rest Break

Paddle Boarder, Vancouver. Given the distance this guy paddle boarded, it was no wonder he took a break to simply take in all the beauty of Vancouver's North Shore. On his way back, I was astonished at his speed. No sooner had I taken the photo of him in front of the tanker (with the houses of West Vancouver in the background) when he was already "midship" and then past it!

 

The haze in these shots is due to the smoke from BC's wildfires drifting down to the coast. Still occurring as late as today, a day after "Fire Season" officially ended despite 153 active fires still burning in the province at a "mere" cost of $510 Million (and counting). And 65,000 residents evacuated over the summer. And still I see drivers carelessly tossing cigarettes out their vehicles.

 

Perhaps they need to spend some time paddle boarding out on the ocean taking in these grand views to appreciate the preciousness of the Nature which sustains us!
