FIELD NOTES

$300 flights inspired a birthday trip to Vancouver which quickly became an architectural tour of the city, balanced by good food, drinks, people, and the occasional mountain.

Having read Arthur Erickson's biography beforehand, the opportunity to experience some of his best work was a major highlight. Especially the Museum of Anthropology.

Not pictured: An encounter with a local ceramics collector who spoke to us about his exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
