Lafarge Lake is a five-hectare man-made lake, located in Town Centre Park in central Coquitlam, British Columbia. The Evergreen Cultural Centre lies on the southwest corner of the lake, and the Water's Edge Festival is held on the lake shore for 25 continuous hours in March.

The area was originally a quarry, but in the 1970s the land was transferred to the city of Coquitlam, and a successful reclamation project ensued.

The lake is home to many species of waterfowl, as well as beavers, common carp, brown bullhead, bluegill, and is stocked with rainbow trout in the spring and fall.

LaFarge's cement plant is a bustling place on a bleak November morning. Interlake's Herbert C Jackson unloads petroleum coke as the tug/barge combination G. L. Ostrander/Integrity loads cement.

Kudos to them!

I usually aim for one exposure, but once in a while a bracketed exposure is necessary, if the intent is to emphasize details in severely underexposed areas.

I liked the colours of the sky that night (late evening) and stopped by for a quick “after sunset” photo session.

With its left side thruster engaged, the M/V Mississagi slowly works its way to the port in Marblehead to be loaded with limestone from LaFarge, just behind the drone.

This view has always captivated me ever since I saw it from PW last year or so, and it has been on the top of my list. I am still a newbie when it comes to these freighters so don't judge me too hard if it isn't up to the quality of some of the pros.

In the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Lafarge’s Exshaw Cement Plant is abuzz with activity as heavily dusted EMD GP38-2 FURX 5510 works to switch cars for delivery to CPKC’s nearby mainline.

The harsh midday sun only accentuates the gritty atmosphere of this heavy industrial operation, set against an otherwise pastoral mountain landscape. It’s a contrast that never fails to strike me whenever I drive by. This time, though, after passing it up on several previous occasions, I finally decided to stop and take a photo.

Lafarge Park, Coquitlam

A cloudy day, in a small park that 5 min away from my home.

This is the first time I tried the Rokinon 12mm F2 and stacked ND110 with ND106. It's a big challenge for my patience :)

On the 26th I headed to the park early to get in some fresh air. There weren't a lot of people so I was very happy.

As of this morning the 28th all provincial parks have been closed to vehicle traffic in an effort to curb the spread of the Coronavirus. I was happy that I managed to get one last visit there. I went this morning to find the gates closed. Several cars were parked along the roadway as people decided to trek into the park.

Thanks for your visits and comments! They are all greatly appreciated!
