Fraser River Tour II




January in Vancouver is challenging when you haven't really experienced it before. The days are really short. It starts at 8 am and ends at 4 pm. Which means there are about six hours of useful daylight. We don’t get to see the sun, because it only appears once every two weeks for 30 minutes if we're lucky. 
This is the most dreary part of the year in Vancouver. Wet, cold, damp, dull, grey, dark… only if the sun is out and all is well with the world.
And finally the sun came out today, and more than 30 minutes! 
Actually making it outside into the weather, the naked trees, the flying birds, changes everything. I walked to Fraser River in the wind, and breathed in the cold air at the top. It felt like the right thing to do after the year of 2020. Wish everyone well and alive! 


Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountain and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia at the city of Vancouver.
