To introduce my new Ranger to this thread I went back to basics, some mix of man made machines and a carpet of "nature"....

Terrific shots Fito Cool themes. Great style, really special ;-) Thanks for sharing
In the continental U.S., the furthest point northwest that you can go is the 4.9 sq. mi. town of Point Roberts. Strangely, by land, you have to go through Canada to get there.
It was created by the extension of the border (which is the 49th parallel) into Georgia Straight that bisected a small peninsula that juts into the ocean from Canada.

My reason for going was to mail a couple of G's to another WUS member in the U.S. Postal fees are ridiculously cheap when compared to sending from Canada & the destination worthwhile
on a sunny day. There's a small ocean side park about a mile past the Post Office.

Looking out into the Straight of Georgia, a BC Ferry from the mainland is about to navigate a series of small islands on its way to the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island.

In and of itself the ferry ride is a very scenic & enjoyable trip. The Captain announces Killer Whale & bear sitings if they're spotted ... over 40 or so trips I've only seen one pod of three Killer Whales.
They dive about 1/2 mile in front & re-surface about the same distance behind the ferry. I missed the one 'bear' siting on one of the island beaches ... turns out it's actually 'bare' & it's naked sunbathers
on the secluded beaches along the various island shores. Whale pic (from net) ... sorry ... no bares.

Stunning posts Greg Absolutely stunning and huge congrats. Loving the Mudman. One of the best. Thanks for sharingI would like to have stayed in Point Roberts a while longer but I'd tracked a delivery from Bogota, Columbia that was 'out for delivery' that same day.
Pachoe had posted his Rising Red Mudman for sale & I discovered it 4 minutes into the listing & scooped it up! :-!
Made it home for the delivery ... watched 2 Stanley Cup playoff games ... then took the Muddy out for a sunset walk along the seawall.
Lots of people out to enjoy the sunset:

The Burrard Street bridge to the East guards the entrance to False Creek & a number of small yacht clubs.

The Muddy gets accustomed to sea level after starting out in the high altitudes of Bogota:

Sadly, most of the crews aboard these ships are pretty much captive & would claim refugee status/asylum if transported to shore. Despite the sun, the water temperature is still
too cold for them to survive a relatively short swim, otherwise, to shore. Tragically, an escape swim a few years ago proved fatal to the 3 Asian sailors who attempted it.
