Public Dreams Society 25th Anniversary Gala
24 Sept 2010

Wet Pavement
No. 4424 - 18 Oct 2007 - 09:32:20Gastown, Vancouver
When people speak of the weather, most usually, it is to complain about an aspect of everyday life over which they have absolutely no control. It is safe territory for a good whinge especially for those of a normally moderate temperament.
The Lower Mainland of British Columbia has a gloomy winter environment of deeply overcast skies, consistent rainfall, and the 95% humidity of a dank, hypothermic nature. It is difficult to notice that it is more likely the loss of light, enclosing and shortening the days, which saddens the inhabitants. The arrival of the autumn equinox in this misty land of complainers can be more disconcerting than the weather itself.
My forecast tells me I will continue to go outside and seek what light there is available in order to exercise the moment and record it for later enjoyment.

YWCA Rooftop Food Garden
No. 4581 - 01 Sept 2010 - 12:38:32Gastown, Vancouver
Five storeys above the streets of corporate Vancouver grows a garden that feeds a community. During a recent potluck lunch, with the ladies and gentleman of the finest aqua-fit class in the city, I was able to see how much is possible with vision, cooperation, and hard work. For myself, the pleasure in growing masses of scarlet runner vines, comes with the eating of the fresh picked, steamed, buttered, and seasoned beans; a memory from childhood summers in my mother's kitchen garden.

Labour Day At New Brighton
No. 5985 - 06 Sept 2010 - 12:03:39
Gastown, Vancouver
It is the last day of public outdoor swimming throughout the city and the weather makes it more melancholy than usual. Although it is raining, the water is warm and there are only three other people in the pool. The facility is off the beaten track and sits on the edge of the harbour alongside a park, beach (no swimming allowed), trains, bridges, and a grain elevator. Well worth the visit but the pool is now closed until Victoria Day Weekend 2011.

In the mind-set of West Side Vancouver, everything east of Cambie Street might as well be ROC (Rest of Canada).

Escape Route
No. 5669 - 04 Sept 2010 - 19:28:16Hidden amongst the buildings, roads, and bridges are railway tracks and the way out of town is via a train, heading east through the Grandview gorge, to the left.
