Lighthouse Park West Vancouver
This image was also taken exactly a year ago today . This is a B/W version of a colour shot I posted last year, the earlier post can be seen at the top of the comments
I have told this story before but its worth retelling . One of the nicest things about flickr is that you occasionally get to leap from the virtual world into the real one . One of my contacts John Barclay agreed to meet up with us in Vancouver he thought it would be good to go and do some photography together .
Given that John has a medical background you feel you would be pretty safe to go and a walk with him. This was not necessarily a correct assumption . He choose to take Mary and I to Lighthouse Park on the far side of West Vancouver . We had a great chat in the car as we drove out there, John is a very genuine guy and a total gentleman . Maybe though he should not take up a new profession as a guide . I am sure there was a relatively straightforward trail to get from the car park to the rocks below the lighthouse. John preferred to use a path used by mountain goats and it involved a fair bit of climbing aver some very slippery rocks . Mary and I survived intact though sadly John sustained a pretty bad gash on his arm . He assured us it was superficial, though it looked horrid . He did fully recover from the experience
We got to the beach and took a bunch of photographs . I had left my tripod in my hotel so had to work on hand held shots . Anyway this is my shot of the lighthouse if you want to compare it with Johns rather superior version his can be found at ,
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
