Vancouver, British Columbia, is a city of two million people located in Canada's westernmost province. The downtown core of century-old red brick buildings and steel-and-glass skyscrapers overlook the sheltered harbor and busy waterways. With Victoria just a short ferry ride away, these two wonderful cities feature stunning mountain and ocean vistas, wonderful gardens, old growth forests, manicured suburbs, many kinds of beaches, and a population that would really rather be outdoors, thank you very much.


Tech Notes: Because of the length of the trip, I was limited to a backpack for gear. I am mostly shooting with the remarkable Nikon D200 these days, and my prime lens on this trip was the incomparable Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm 1:2.8 D. It's bulky but, in the end, it's all about the glass, isn't it?
