Rail Underpass

A community art project to spruce up the pedestrian tunnel leading to New Brighton Park.

I just photograph them, I don't interpret them.

New Brighton

On Tuesday I trekked down to New Brighton Park, a spot I haven't been in decades. My family always lived in East Vancouver and my parents took us to the park once or twice when I was quite young. We knew the park then as Windermere Pool as there is a swimming pool here.

This is an odd park in as much as it is not in or even very close to any residential areas. In fact it's bounded by various port facilities, the rail lines and Burrard Inlet. My suspicion is that many Vancouverites don't know where it is and would have some difficulty finding it if they were pointed in the right direction. 

The views from the park are quite spectacular and I'll show one or two more images from there this week.
