Farewell Cascadia (for now) - a photo dump

In the end of January I moved away from Greater Vancouver, BC, and while I hope to return some day the future is open. I think the Pacific Northwest will always have a very special place in my heart.

Anyway, while checking through my phone I found (as one does) a bunch of photos. Most were taken in or around North Vancouver during Summer 2015. Playing around with them I decided to see if I could put together a small photo essay of that time.

Not sure if I succeeded, but enjoy.
