Another day of steady rain in Vancouver again came to an end with some signs of clearer skies to the west. I was unusually organised, and had decided to head to Siwash Rock on the Stanley Park Seawall in surprisingly good time.

According to legend, Siwash Rock is the transformed spirit of an unselfish man, who was preserved in this way to honour him. Geologically, it is a basalt stack that was formed many millions of years ago by volcanic activity, and is the only such sea stack in the Vancouver area.

I stopped off at Third Beach to take some beach shots about an hour before sunset, and then walked the short distance on to the rock, just as the sun came out from behind the clouds. However, at this time the light was so strong and harsh that I wasn't able to get anything usable photographically. Additionally, my lens kept gathering water vapour, there was so much dampness in the air.

Patience was a virtue in this case, and I hung around waiting out the remaini...

Born in the UK, I moved to Vancouver, BC in 2011. My career in photography has grown from a long-held passion for capturing the beauty of the world, aided on the technical side by my background as a software developer. I specialise in fine art photography of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes in and around the Pacific Northwest, with work exhibited internationally. Many of my photographs feature the beautiful city of Vancouver, but as well as capturing its iconic cityscapes, I can often be found exploring the BC and Washington coastline for new photographic opportunities, as well as developing my portfolio of night sky photographs featuring the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis.
