I was sifting through a number of old photographs and this one hit a bit of a chord. The viewer is facing west on Locarno and Spanish Banks Beaches at sunset. I believe the year was 2000 when I spent many of long hours after work and on weekends playing beach volleyball and hanging out with friends. This location could also arguably be the official fertile ground within which the seed that grew into a Celtic band was planted. I guess I will have to get around to talking about that subject in another post.
It always amazed me how it would rain almost everywhere the eye would permit you to see except right here on the beach. Sometimes nature just likes to play along with a good volleyball game.
During the summer this beach is typically packed with locals, visitors and a crew of dedicated volleyball players. The boardwalk just to the left is full of pedestrian, roller blade and cycling traffic. It is a very lively spot in Vancouver and is a great spot to enjoy if you get the chance.
I took this picture with my new digital Olympus at the time. It was a good companion that I left at home far to often but it was also not an SLR.
Funny, I have not been here in years, I really must get the family down there one evening for a picnic and sunset. I always find the ocean peaceful and rejuvenating.
Today's Soup.
