Tractor Trailer on Vancouver Marsh Causeway

Silver winter light washes over a heavy tractor-trailer moving across a narrow marsh causeway near Gastown. The truck cuts a sharp dark shape against the pale, churned water and exposed mudflats of the early spring thaw. Stacked clouds hang low and heavy, pressing down on the horizon while the vehicle's wheels kick up a faint spray of slush. The sky offers a flat, metallic glow that reflects off the wet asphalt and the truck's chrome grille. Tall, dormant grasses line the edges of the road, their brown stalks bent low by the wind. The salt air hangs visibly in the cold, still air, settling on the metal surfaces and the surrounding wetlands. The trailer's rear lights glow a dull red against the grey surroundings. One puddle near the tire reflects the underside of the truck and the grey sky above.
