Dog Mountain

One great thing about living in British Columbia, is that there are spectacular views everywhere.  For those who know me, know I am not partial to snow, and cold weather.  However, since moving to BC, I have been introduced to snowshoeing.  Actually, to clarify, I would never have tried snowshoeing if I knew there wasn't something to photograph.  It can get darn cold here.  Once, my wife and I took a hike on snowshoes, in Manning Park (east of Vancouver), at -19C.  Believe it or not, we actually saw a mosquito.  I tried to photograph it but it was in a hurry.  I did manage to get several photos of a spider walking on the snow.  I suspect the sun caused the tree bark to heat up and the critters hibernating inside thought it was spring.

This photograph was taken after hiking from Mt. Seymour to Dog Mountain, north of Vancouver.   We were part of a local group from Wanderung.   The view was outstanding the whole way up.  The couple to the right, in the photo were having lunch and admiring the view.  Don't blame them.

Again I used my reliable Nikon D200, and 17-55mm lens with a Moose Peterson Circ/Pol filter.
