Early morning on Wreck Beach

Sunrise in the east, over Vancouver city.

Wreck beach, the only nude beach in Vancouver, but it was empty when I was there early this morning.

Wrecked logs, some really large.

When I was standing here looking at a great blue heron (I think), a bald eagle suddenly flew over me, all quiet. Those are really majestic birds!

The tide was out so kelp and seagrass on the rocks were above water.

Update: The day after the walk down to the beach I woke up with horrible pain in my legs. To get to the beach you have to walk down a steep, steep path that probably has at least 150 wooden stair steps in a nice conifer forest with lots of lush ferns. To get back up the cliff you have to walk up the same way. It is not easy, but certainly worth it.
