Fire and Water

I spent 3 weeks cat-sitting in New Westminster, some 40 minutes

(on Skytrain) south of Vancouver, BC a few months back.

This was the scene from the rear balcony of the apartment on a day when smoke from the 500+ wildfires burning throughout British Columbia blanketed the mainland (and also drifted across to Vancouver Island).

Another day I had just begun a walk to a nearby park when I spotted smoke in the skies.  Following its source a short distance away, the cause was revealed -

a barge (on the Fraser River) containing (I was told) car bodies had caught fire.
