Day 178: Something fishy

Last weekend was the Coho Festival in West Vancouver, and we hadn't yet managed to call in at the Capilano Hatchery to see how the salmon run was doing. I took the day off to take Mum and Dad up there and we spent a leisurely hour or so watching the fish and walking the loop up and over the Cleveland Dam. As ever, it was dark down by the viewing windows and I tried a long exposure through one of them, thinking that the fish would be a blur. But I was surprised how little the fish moved in the 4-second exposure and it's still possible to make them out quite clearly. Cool!
