Cambie Street. In the distance things are jumping in Mordor, er, downtown Vancouver.[/caption]
This morning I work up at 8:30 a.m. to the honking -- not of geese or car horns -- but of fog horns -- slow, sonorous sounds; prehistoric; soothing... When I woke up again two hours later the fog horns were still sounding off. Too many just for False Creek I thought. Given the way fog can work on sound I might have been hearing horns from as far away as the Burrard Inlet on the north side of downtown Vancouver.

MEC's rooftop parking lot affords a great view North, over False Creek, of downtown Vancouver and the mountains beyond -- I slyly say "the" because I think they're the Rockies, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I went up there a few days ago to enjoy the view, and it was great, so naturally I took photographs -- of a street light -- who can say what goes on in my head? I did tear my attention away from the beautifully prosaic, to take one snap of the merely spectacular. Nice keepsake now that gray-skied Fall has fallen upon us. Click the images to enlarge them.
