The story behind the image
British Columbia is my dream place to be. I did not know that before our long trip in 2002. But during that trip I realized that it can’t get any better, really. For me, that is. B.C. has it all: the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the wildlife, super-friendly and relaxed people, and Vancouver. A city that is big enough to be a real city but not as huge as L.A., New York, London, or Paris. It’s a city on the doorstep to adventure.
This photo shows the cute tiny duck pond on Granville Island. It’s a peaceful oasis so close to the buzzing city. And it’s really close to the buzz, because it sits right below highway 99 which leads up to Granville Bridge! Yet, it’s a lovely place.
The Crystal Ark hut is still around in 2025, selling stones and crystals from around the world and educating about the healing properties and energies of multiple stones.
Vancouver – the city of my dreams!
