‘On the road again’ usually implies you’re going somewhere, but
this is not the case here… in fact I’m back in Victoria at the moment. But I was over on the mainland for the
Mothers’ Day week-end and had the opportunity to drive up the Sea-to-Sky
Highway again, a road where I did a series of paintings, such as Howe Sound, and Horseshoe Bay,
three years ago during the run-up to the 2010 Olympics, which took place in
venues at both ends of this highway.
This view shows the iconic Stawamus Chief rock face, a popular
spot for climbers and vertical dancers, Shannon Falls, now swollen with a huge
spring run-off and visible for miles (though not as visible as I’ve shown it
here) and the head of Howe Sound, the southernmost fjord in the Northern
Hemisphere. (Pay attention there will be
a test!)
