These days, the mountains to the North of Vancouver are mainly used for hiking and recreation but these mountains have a long history of logging. There are many remnants of the old days of logging, not just stumps of the massive trees that used to line British Columbia’s coast but also rubble from the buildings used during the logging.

I noticed this rubble of an old building overgrown while doing the brothers creek hike just north of West Vancouver.

In the winter, the sun goes down pretty early in Vancouver. This was taken at 4:30pm in mid November. The sun had already started to set which allowed me to use a slow shutter speed to get this cool looking water in the shot.
