Royal Hudson Excursion
Frederick • December 27th, 2009 • Featured
On a cool weekend back in May, the venerable Royal Hudson steamed into New Westminster for the city’s 150th birthday.
Enthusiasts, young and old, were able to ride behind the steam locomotive for a trip across the Fraser River into Cloverdale. If you missed it, we got plenty of pictures and video of the ex-Canadian Pacific engine arriving in all her glory.

Photos from San Antonio
Frederick • August 22nd, 2009 • Featured Located in the heart of Texas, San Antonio is a vibrant city full of colour and amazing people. I took over 170 pictures from my five day trip, however these do not truly capture the amazing essence that is San Antonio.
So, step back in time and hear the stories from the front lines at the Alamo. Hop on a boat ride along the beautiful San Antonio River and gaze at the sights along the banks. Wander through the downtown and out into Hemisfair Park to the Tower of Americas from the 1968 World’s Fair. Like they say, everything’s bigger in Texas!
