UNPLUGGED Flickr Pickr

I picked this image not only because of its whimsy and gorgeous muted colours but also because I want to draw your attention to the rest of Robert Fougere's photography.

We have never met but I can tell from a quick spy at his Flickr photostream and website, Robarazzi, that this is a person who really lives the Vancouver dream. To me that dream is living life and really taking in all there is to offer within the limits of the city while also getting out there and experiencing the real reason it's so awesome that we get to call this place home, the great outdoors. It seems to me that Robert really gets out there, whether that be on water, ice or pavement, throw in a train journey or two and a plethora of really beautiful photography and you've got the makings of a pretty sweet west coast life.

Forgive me if I've gotten this all wrong, your images inspired me today and this is what I took from them. Thanks again, keep the great work coming!

There was a lot of amazing photography in the pool this week folks, please keep posting and spreading the word about the Unplugged Flickr Pickr.

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
