Guy travels the world and shoots one second of footage in each location
It must have took a lot of planning and hard work to make this video. Incredible way to do a video travelogue.
Upside down reflection on Hollyburn Lake
I think this upside down reflection looks pretty cool. I took it yesterday hiking on Cypress Mountain.
The Best Hike and View in Vancouver
I’ve previously written about the best hikes in Vancouver, but I wanted to make another post about my favourite hike in Vancouver, which is Dog Mountain. I like this hike because it’s near the city and it offers the best hike effort-to-view ratio in the North Shore Mountains. From downtown Vancouver, you can be at the trailhead at the north end of the Mount Seymour Provincial Park parking lot in 30 minutes. From there, it is about a 45 minute hike to the Dog Mountain bluffs, depending on the snow and trail conditions.
Dog Mountain is an easy hike to do year round and it winds through beautiful old-growth forests, past a spectacular lake and 5 or 6 little streams coming down from the Mount Seymour alpine. It’s even a great hike to do in the dark, with flashlights, if you want a spot to watch meteor showers in the summer. I’ve hiked most of the North Shore Mountains and I find Dog Mountain to have the best and most accessible view of the Vancouver area.
Here are some videos and photos I took my last time hiking Dog Mountain:
Cathedral Mountain and Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains
Roadtrip to Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Country
Got out of the city for some sunshine in the BC Interior last weekend at a friend’s cottage. Here are some scenery pics from the roadtrip. (more…)
Electric Tulips and the Pixel Whale
Nice to see Jack Poole Square decked out in tulips. I really like the Pixel Whale as an art installation. It’s all almost as cool as the Device To Root Out Evil which graced the shores of Coal Harbour before a public outcry had it removed.
Morning Mountain Glory
I love bright mornings seeing the clouds breaking up over Seymour and Lynn Valley.
Cleveland Dam
The Cleveland Dam has a strong flow this time of year from a winter of intense rain and the melting snowpack in the North Shore Mountains.
The Lions and Crown Mountain
Two of the highest peaks in Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains towering above the calm waters of Capilano Lake.
Top of Lonsdale Ave
The view of the downtown Vancouver skyline and Stanley Park from the top of Lonsdale Ave in North Vancouver.
