18 February 2023 – Three beholders, as we explore the SkyTrain construction site behind Emily Carr campus, and our eyes agree: this jumble is full of beauty.
Fine-textured bristles…
skeletal rust…
columnar rust…
lacework rust…
and even a whole line-up of high-contrast millimetres…
discarded, but still faithfully doing the job they were created to do, measuring the space where they lie.

6 January 2023 – I’m on the walkway linking Waterfront Station with the SeaBus terminal on Burrard Inlet — essentially a metal grid with glass side panels that offer long views of the train tracks, Port of Vancouver activity and waterfront facilities.
The language of the grid — witness this public-domain night shot — is the triangle.
This means that everything we see, as we walk along, is triangle-plus.
For example!
Tall triangle + tracks + boxcars + Skytrain…
or tall triangle + tracks + small blue helicopter + a whole herd of giraffes (aka Port Authority cranes)…
or tiny triangle + bijou tracks…
or, looking west, expansive triangle + spikes (aka Canada Place).
There is even one unapologetic rectangle.
Complete with visible fish + visible giraffes + invisible maple leaves…
it sends us down the escalator to sea level, SeaBus and our trip across the water to North Vancouver.
