***Siwash Rock Calling from the Salish Sea

            When I get the chance to walk along the Seawall in Vancouver, I always pause at the first glimpse of Siwash Rock rising from the harbour as a Sentinel.  In this photograph you will see al Douglas Fir sprouting from the crest like a crown of legendary stories.  And so it is ... or should I say and so they are ... for there are many stories and legends of this rock but none can capture the essense of viewing the landscape ... not even this image :)

It was a radiant west coast morning shining through the canopy of Stanley Park when I arrived with the first of my trusty Nikons

It's a great place to watch the sunset, sunrise, walk along the sea wall or just enjoy some incredible views.

For some it is symbolic of a warrior standing pure against the rain and lashing winds, for sailors a bowling pin guiding them home.  For me, I love the crown of the tree standing in the sanctuary of a beautiful harbour facing out to the world: strong confidant but know the future is never soft but will be full of wonder and possibilities.
