Stanley Park — Non-Traditional Views

Many photos from Vancouver’s Stanley Park are of the more traditional sights there, such as the native American totem poles about which I posted earlier. I certainly have taken my share of those but I also like less customary images of off-the-beaten-track details from a location such as Stanley Park. These images I captured from the Park are examples of ordinary details that convey a different sort of majesty for that place.

Stanley Park is a beautiful, peaceful greenspace on a sprawling peninsula in the heart of bustling Vancouver. The Park’s collection of native American totem poles is eye-catching and conjures marvelment and reverence at the creativity of the people of the Pacific Northwest that made these exquisite carvings.
In these photos from a trip there not long ago it was challenging to separate the poles from the surrounding trees so these don’t do justice to the majesty of these enduring artifacts.
