A late summer surge inspires a trip around the city.
As sultry hot days build around the end of August, I find myself reaching for every last ray of sunshine before the Pineapple Express rolls in. Although summer in Vancouver usually is slow to start, this year has been particularly cool, dreary and disappointing—dubbed ‘Bummer Summer’ by many.
Now that the sun is here, the imperative is to do as many ‘summery’ things as possible while warm weather is in effect around the city. Last week I was compelled to grab my camera, jump on my bicycle and capture Vancouverites getting their ‘summer’ on with water parks, beach towels, ice cream, skim boards, bikes and open-water swimming.
Special thanks to collaborators Brad Klees of the band Jenny, Spencer Kathrens and Justin Parsons of Inner City Elegance for a compelling sound track that captures the energy of a bustling, urban oasis.
