While out doing my steps for the day I was struck by the picture of two enormous ships in dry dock in the middle of the city. They should be in the water, and usually dry docks are in more commercial areas. T o add to the the incongruity of the image was the bright red and blue, brightening up the paled down grey Victoria. After taking a few artistic liberties, now I am very pleased with the finished product. Hope you enjoy it.

Because of climate change, the sea ice is dispersing earlier and freezing later. This brings our bear ashore for greater periods of time . Chances of volatile contact with people.
