Bikes on Dikes Rides Again

If you are a regular here, this may be a familiar photo.

I published it previously on this blog in 2007. See the original post by CLICKING HERE.

I have also got this picture along with others being used with my permission on a local realtors website CLICK HERE TO VIEW IT .

Today I went to look at the Maple Ridge Municipal Web Page...and what should I see? This photo has been published again on the header of the city website. CLICK HERE TO SEE IT. Click on the word HOME at the top of the municipal website. You may have to wait a few seconds for my photo to scroll in.

I am thrilled to have had it selected. I Knew when I first took this shot that it was the epitome of what Maple Ridge is all about. I am thrilled that it has been used in this capacity!

A Row of Red

A row of red stables make an interesting contrast amongst the greenery. The clouds begin to gather over the Golden ears Mountains, making for a gorgeous sky.

Reflection

This shot was taken from the Pitt River Bridge in a moving Vehicle. This bridge is the main access into the Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge area. It is a traffic nightmare as routes on either side bottleneck at this bridge at peak commute hours. I am happy to say, that I no longer need to use it very often as I am now working in town, about five minutes from home. One thing I always loved about crossing this bridge, is the amazing unhindered view of the mountains. This was taken at twighlight yesterday. The setting sun casting a golden hue onto the snow and trees. The temperature has dropped below zero again, as the blanket of cloud that has been covering us for a week have finally lifted.

SNOW

For my first post, I think most Maple Ridgers would agree that a Shot of the Golden Ears Mountains would be fitting. These peaks are synonymous with this town. Located at the north-east corner of the municipality, in Golden Ears Provincial Park. They tower over the town and are its crowning glory.
