Helicopter Over Foggy Vancouver Harbor Causeway

Brutal noon light flattens the sky into a sheet of white, colliding with the deep charcoal of a low-flying helicopter. The aircraft hovers just above a narrow wooden causeway that cuts through a marsh, its rotor blades a blurred gray disc against the haze. Thick mist swallows the distant harbor mouth, leaving only the sharp silhouette of the Main Street shoreline visible in the background. The water reflects the harsh glare, creating a stark contrast with the dark hull of the machine. Ripples disturb the marsh surface beneath the craft, while the wooden planks of the bridge show weathered grain and wet sheen. A shadow stretches directly under the landing skids, at the base of the heavy machine in the flat, misty terrain.
