Sometimes the rare, the beautiful, can only emerge or survive in isolation. In a similar manner, some degree of withdrawal serves to nurture man’s creative powers. The artist and the scientist bring out of the dark void, like the mysterious universe itself, the unique, the strange, the unexpected. – Loren Eiseley from The Night Country

When I shifted my focus from the water to the shore, I beheld many acts of creation.

I wandered onto the Dundarave pier in West Vancouver last night to take in the city lights across the Burrard Inlet.

Never a ship sails out of the bay
But carries my heart as a stowaway.
Roselle Mercier Montgomery

I walked along the seawall today on the West Vancouver shore starting at the Lions Gate Bridge.

If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere. – Vincent van Gogh

Vancouver’s North Shore Seawall is one of my favorite (“favourite” if you are a Canuck) places to walk. The amazing views of the city of Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and the Burrard Inlet are always a little different depending on the weather, tide, and time of day. I try to remember to take in the beauty at my feet along the shoreline. The sea offers up ropes, driftwood, and sea glass to those who take the time to notice.
