This bike was at the bottom of a twenty foot drop.  I’m assuming some kids threw it over the railing, and it wasn’t some failed bicycle stunt.  Either way, it’s a free bike for somebody!

Last week I framed three black and white pictures for the house, but a few years ago I wouldn’t touch black and white photos to save my life.  After taking a photo immersion course in Maine a few years back, I learned a lot more about black and white photography.  I’ve since taken a number of pictures knowing they’d make better black and white’s than color images.  This is one of those images.

I love simple colors like this.  It’s just yellow moss growing wherever it can, in this case in between bricks and on a concrete wall.

Some friends and I do an annual road trip to the Chicago Blackhawks play on the road.  This year it was Vancouver, so we took some extra time because the flight was too long to fly in, go to the game, and fly out.  Plus, Vancouver is an awesome city that I could spend a solid week and still feel like I missed things.

While wandering around Granville Island, we stopped a broom store.  This place makes old-timey brooms of all sizes, for use sweeping floors (obviously), to modified brooms used for scrubbing dish pans.
