Shades of grey Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").

It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!

The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Note: this random entry is served on a per-visit basis and will change if you reload the page. It will also not show up on regular RSS, Feedburner and Twitter feeds.

Nostalgia

What do I do when I miss the underwater realm so much it becomes almost painful? I take a walk to the Vancouver Aquarium, of course. I visit fishes (sic) in cages to forget I live in one. It’s a sad visit, always moving, yet always fun. I like to think that if some humans would rather live in an extreme urban environment such as downtown Vancouver, in tall glass aquariums and with all the sacrifices but also the extraordinary advantages it implies, maybe the same goes for marine mammals. Maybe not all of them are caged. Maybe there are business-minded dolphins and young single professional belugas who would rather live a happening life close to us with guaranteed meals, wi-fi and stardom. But then again maybe not.

Shades of grey

On a dull, bleak winter day, West Vancouver’s Lighthouse Park is quiet and the trails leading to Point Atkinson are almost empty. Once standing on the rocks by the ocean, at the very edge of the park, the city is forgotten as the entrance to Howe Sound reveals itself, dotted with islands and lined with snow-capped mountains. It’s a world that seems to belong to the eagles circling overhead.
