Windy Friday on the Pier at Lonsdale Quay

After a stressful week at work, I noticed the wind pick up and the clouds roll in. It had been sunny and clear for the majority of March. I decided to head down to the quay with my camera so that I can get some more practice with my new lens. The wind in my hair felt really good. All my stress melted away and I felt alive again.

There were a couple others taking photos as well but, for the most part, the pier was empty. At one point the wind really picked up and some rain drops fell. This caused the pier to clear out. I was the only one left. North Van at night is so peaceful. It has become so populated in the last couple decades but at night it becomes the sleepy little suburb it once was when I first moved here, 25 years ago.


The pier, completely deserted.

Here are a couple of my best shots.

This is the look of satisfaction after having been in a little bit of active weather... I can't wait to get to tornado alley. It's been so long since I've seen lightning.
