Vancouver Photo Guide: Life in Colour. Top Story - April 2020.
Hi there! Welcome to my Vancouver photo guide! :) I post a lot of photos from around Vancouver on my Instagram and I've had quite a lot of people asking me "Wow, here is that?" or "OMG I love that mural!" or "Please tell us where you take all these?"

Nostalgia
Heraklion is a small island located a bit more than 200 miles from Athens, with an ambience so tranquil it has the power to make one finally feel like the air inside their lungs is exactly the same as the air outside their body. We had spent the fourth day of the trip wandering around in sweltering heat until it was cool enough to eat. So, well-fed and giddy we decided to take an explorative drive, stumbling upon a quaint fishing village. While the sun began to slumber and the sky became a palette of serene pastels, the Hunters full moon created a potent cocktail thought by the natives to bring energy and the courage to squash the psychological chains that hold us back, into our atmosphere. With the car window down and my head on my arm, I lazily watched the world go by like a cat at a window, lulled by the heady contrast in sensations. I was charged yet relaxed, free yet settled, content, but still curious. I took my phone out and quickly snapped the scene as the car drove at a leisurely pace, beautifully capturing the complex simplicity of that perfect evening. Looking at the picture the eyes move from unfocused branches to the needlepoint clarity of the moon, and finally to the stillness of the boat and sky.

Dear Raven
It was only about 4pm, and yet it felt like it had already been a very long day. We had arrived late at the Arches National Park in Utah. Or rather, to me it was late. See, I had wanted to get there early and be able to spend the whole day adventuring and exploring the park. Like most of my good intentions, it did not go as planned. However, I have learned that that is exactly how most great adventures come about.

The Perfect Family Selfie . Third Place in Mobile Moments Challenge.
I knew the trip was going to be a risk, and I thought bringing the kids along might get me forever labeled as a bad parent. But sometimes the yearnings of the spirit deny any pitiful human logic from mounting a resistance.

Rising
Rising. I always wanted the window seat, whether on a van en route to our gig or the plane, flying to our next city. To me, the greatest fun of touring was seeing the people, the architecture, the landscapes. I love every concert I’ve been allowed to participate in, but when nature puts on a show, I find that that show is unmatched.

The Templars of Whitkirk
There were signs all around me. They had been there silently, muted by the modern world which had grown and evolved around them. Simple crosses embellished on stone tiles, built into the quaint exteriors of the cottages which had stood for centuries. An old manor house which garnered no attention as you drove on by. A medieval church – one which I had seen its tower rise high behind the rows of modern houses for 28 years – yet never fully taken notice of. And finally, a majestic Tudor mansion whose presence had dominated the landscape for hundreds of years. This village of Whitkirk, which I had always called home, that I had always arrogantly deemed mundane, was anything but.
