reflection

Vancouver has gotten under my skin. I’m sure that part of that is who I visit while I’m there but it’s also the beauty of the place.

There are so few cities that I truly enjoy being in and walking around in. I loved London in this way. I loved San Francisco in this way.

I now have another city to add to that short list.

I enjoy the people of Vancouver. People are friendly. They talk to you. They smile. That is so rare for a U.S. city of the same size and maybe that is the beauty of Canada. The people take in the beauty around them and live that type of life.

As I wandered around downtown, I looked at everything as if it was in the screen of my camera. How would it look framed like this? Or this?

I had called Jonathan and he gave me some directions on how to find certain things, sharing some wonderful finds with me.

As I headed toward the library, I noticed this reflection in an alleyway. The angle was just perfect enough to get the little bit of blue sky that was showing that day and picked up the clock tower on the building.

It was such a wonderful surprise. It made me smile and I couldn’t resist taking this secret shot. It was if it was waiting for me to come along and shoot.

It clouded up moments later.

The day was shining upon me.
