Rice Lake, North Vancouver, B.C.

The fourth instalment of my Canadian trip report is about  Rice Lake. It is a calm, quiet man-made lake in North Vancouver, B.C.  It used to be a reservoir of drinking water for the residents of North Vancouver. Today it is a wildlife refuge.

A relatively short hike will take you all around Rice Lake for you to enjoy its natural beauty. The lake is also a popular fishing ground.

The pictures above were taken in the early to mid afternoon, which is not usually the best time to shoot landscape photographs. However, the cloudy skies provided some nice diffuse light, and the calm lake made for some beautiful reflections. On a cloudy day the sky can be quite bright and bland relative to the landscape. In that case, it is usually best to avoid showing the sky in the photographs.
