One of the sunsets I enjoy best lately in Vancouver. Have a great Sunday my Flickr friends! :)

Weather in Vancouver can be so unpredictable. Rains, fogs, and winds are coming and going at their own paces. Only the paces remain mysteries to me. I was in Stanley Park between two rains the other day and the city look kept changing with cloud drifting by. After the rolling clouds passed through, the sky went back to the lifeless grey again, like most of the recent days, and it eventually started to rain!

I'm quite happy that I caught this dark moment, a crack of the gray afternoon! :)

I was able to hop off the Seawall at low tide to get closer to the water front yesterday afternoon when I took a walk in Stanley Park... The view was actually quite amazing between the rains with the clouds rolling over and sunlight on and off. :)

We went to Ambleside beach the other day and I quite liked it, so yesterday I decided to extend my walk along the Seawalk trail from the beach westwards to the rocky beach of Dundarave. It's a nice and warm Sunday afternoon where a lot of people enjoyed the last bit of weekend in the waterfront just like myself.

When I walked back to the parking lot, I noticed the tide was out and people were gathering on the Fishing Pier trying their luck to fish and crab off the dock. As for me, I like it better just to take a seat on the beach and watch the tide coming and going! :)

This is actually a reprocessing (using Silver Efex Pro 2 this time) of my old photo back in March. Click here for the old processing in Photoshop CS5, and you will definitely see the difference! I am quite happy to finally get the details right. :)

I think I'll get the Software for my black and white post-processing. What I cannot decide now is just to buy Silver Efex Pro 2 or the Complete Collection? Hmm...
