Photo 1:
Beautiful British Columbia welcomed me on the first week of my arrival with this scenic picture. Photo clicked at English Bay, Stanley Park. This may be a typical British Columbia scene, but I presumed it as a ray of hope forecasting my future...the sun behind the voluptuous mountains, welcoming me to Vancouver BC.
