Exploring Spanish Banks

North of the Vancouver’s West Side and the University of British Columbia, there are vast tidal flats stretching for hundreds of metres out into English Bay, with a spectacular view of the downtown skyline, the mountains the North, and many freighters in the foreground. Dog heaven.

An iPhone panorama, created in about 8 seconds, no editing: amazing tech. We’re looking west here, out to sea.

Downtown Vancouver, home, in the background. The mud was amazingly comfortable, like walking on several square kilometres of thin, warm, moist memory foam.

Mud and very shallow water almost all the way to the freighters!

The seaweed was purty.
