Late summer, last year, I finished my exploration of Santiago Creek. Still, I want to take one more trip from start to finish. Especially focusing on areas a bit farther away from the creek bed itself. Here the creek is controlled by concrete barriers.
Early evening on the Sea Island. Jim Roche
Sea Island is a land reclamation site near the Vancouver International Airport. The site continues to have some industrial work going on. While the surface seems prestine the green surface can be scapped off with a finger or stick.

Here the stream goes under the roadway, then joins the Fraser River.
This is from a series on the Fraser River and it tributaries. Many of these feeder streams wind through residential neighbourhoods and industrial areas. Still, yearly, salmon make their way up these streams, veering off from the main river that offers colder and fresher water up in the mountains.

Jim Roche: Landscape Photography
Yesterday followed the Fraser River from where it meets the ocean through Vancouver to the edge of New Westminster, the former capital of the province. Mostly stayed in natural areas, exploring what the relationship of the land was to the river, but here found a new walkway going up, under construction, getting people off the pathway and walking through the site. Everyone had passed through gates and warning signs.
At its end, the path meets the river. Jim Roche: Landscape and Documentary Photography
