UNPLUGGED Flickr Pick: Empty Seat

UNPLUGGED is a state of mind.

It's that point in your consciousness where you can feel at one with nature, escaping the trappings of the day-to-day to an almost dream-like place where nothing else seems to exist besides you and your natural surroundings. It is our opinion here at VIA that Vancouver holds a unique place in the civilized world in that reaching this state often requires no more effort than simply pulling off to the side of the road, pocketing your keys and taking a few steps into the forest.

Spring is just around the corner but someone forgot to tell the North Shore mountains. As the weather in the city flips between cold and warm in what I hope is Mother Natures not-so-subtle way of telling the flowers it's time to wake up, at elevation the snow just keeps on coming. Thank goodness dinafasbro had a camera last week up on Grouse and was able to share this spectacularly calming shot called Empty Seat reminding all of us that even though it feels like spring down here, sliding fun is only minutes away.

UNPLUGGED is a state of mind.
