Description

At The Quay

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
~Sigmund Freud

* -------------- *

In the summer months on Friday nights in our neighbouring city of North Vancouver, about a 10-minute drive away to the Quay, is a lively night market, with stalls of artisan items to buy, food, and live entertainment. It is a popular family event, and on a perfect evening, we always leave back to home with a full tummy, good feelings and happy memories, and possibly even a new purchase.

Also in the summer months, and more so in the last few years, there can smoke from the wildfires burning not only in our own province, but also from others nearby. [Actually, it is not yet summer, and the fires have already begun.]

We live close to the water, with the forested mountains behind, and I have never considered a fire coming close to our home because most are several hundred miles away. However, for the first time last summer, there was a fire on a mountain behind us. It was extinguished, but made me realize how close we are to the vegetation that the fiery powerful forces of nature can ignite.

Even though the fires can be far away, the air quality can become affected to different degrees. At its worst, it usually last a day or two, when we realize how severe the damage to the atmosphere really is.

There were no adjustments made to this image. It was captured on a lovely evening's outing at the Night Market, while we admired the huge yacht moored at the pier, wondering who it might belong to.

And while all appeared perfectly normal to us at the time, the lens picked up on the haze that was in the air. There were no edits to this image; the colouration of this capture is entirely from the smoke haze that was lingering in the evening air.
