Color Challenge! Friday Sky Blue -- Before I Had Climbed Grouse Mountain in Vancouver | E.6

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

On my bike in the False Creek area in Vancouver.

I was on the road 25 weeks in 2006 and had a great time seeing all the sights.

A friend took this photo of me.

False Creek is basically not far from the West End or the downtown area officially as they call it there.


Past Memories of the area:


The top of Grouse, overlooking backdrop of the beautiful Vancouver area.... that is the city behind me.

I had just hiked the mountain before this was taken, and that 54 mins. is an epic time to hike that in. I trained to get er done so after I would feel less pain and challenge myself.

-- If you search "Grouse Grind', you will see what I mean- it is legendary.

I used it as a cardio workout, and was in really good shape. It was probably the toughest thing cardio wise I may have done ever.

Plenty of blue / sky blue in this #ColorChallenge! Even my shorts.

Most people take 2~4 hours to walk or do this mountain, but I gave er'.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

wonderfull post i like it..

Vancouver is such a beautiful city. Never got the chance to do Grouse. Heart it was intense!

I've posted on this a few times, they honestly have to pull a few people out of there a year -- some are alive, some are not.

omg what!!!?? Thats crazy I never knew that!

Yep LOL.

Straight outta the mouths of some staff there and residents nearby.

I rented a large room at the base of this mountain about 3-4 houses south of the sign you pass as you enter the resort, so I lived literally right there.

Good to know. They should probably put up a sign or something. I'm still tempted to try it though lol

Well, have your affairs in order and kiss your dog or cat as you head out the door just in case LOL.

Be prepared!
