I'm Michael Peterson, a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, currently serving a parish in the Diocese of Toronto. I'm also a retired Canadian Forces chaplain , hence the Padre in the title. Mad just means eccentric, and on that note, I also blog on toy soldiers, madpadrewargames.blogspot.com. I'm on X (what used to be Twitter) at @MarshalLuigi and I'm on Bluesky at @madpadre.bsky.social

Seen on the afternoon run
One of those iconic views of Vancouver. Ships ride at anchor in Burrard Bay off Stanley Park on a beautiful late November afternoon. Ran part of the Seawall with Padre friend Howard and stopped to get this shot.
As we were setting off from our hotel in False Creek, also noticed this chap on a weathervane. depicted in medieval garb reading a book and riding backwards on a horse. At first I thought it was a depiction of Chaucer, but in fact it is a reproduction of Rodney Graham's Erasmus Weathervane.
Hope Vancouver's treating you well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, also like the Holy Joe!
Oh, I knew it was Erasmus all the time. I was just testing you.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex:
ReplyDeleteVancouver was a good go. Out in Kitsalano during the days, lovely weather. Currently -20 in the Hat.
Oh Howard, you're so clever.
