WGT, cont.

To Kingsway and Edmonds to start the hunt, spurred by the shape of a very distinctive tower block (above center). Heavy traffic in flat grey light. Kids running across the green lawn of the BC Hydro right-of-way. Apartment balconies with little nests and rafts of stuff on them. Woodpiles; chainlink fencing; open garages so full of "storage" that the cars that once parked in them now litter the lanes' edges. An endless proliferation of detail. I've lived in Vancouver my whole life and never driven 13th Street before. Nor admired the curve of the cul-de-sac protruding into Ernie Winch Park, a "spatial balloon" that would make Cezanne proud.

The sense of driving into the photograph.
