     Who wouldnt want to visit Vancouver just looking at your photos. Ive been once in 1989 and would absolutely love to visit again. Thank you for recreating my urge.

     Your photo of the Robson Bight Orcas should make it to National Geographic. Inspiring pages - My wife and I are great Canada fans.
