Container Ship

Container ship appears at sunrise viewed from the Ogden Point Breakwater, Victoria, B.C.

When I first arrived in Victoria this November and was still on Toronto time, it was easy to get up early in the morning and catch the sunrise from the Ogden Point Breakwater. Although B.C. has been tormented by atmospheric rivers and extraordinary rainfall, there were times when a little sunshine broke through to remind us of all the forest fires during the summer.

Here, massive clouds loom overhead, but a thin band of light appears on the horizon illuminating the mountains in Washington state. Meanwhile, an empty container ship chugs into the frame. The gears of commerce grind on, lending visual interest to photographs everywhere.
