With a couple hours free on a lovely early fall afternoon, I finally returned to my project to draw all the blocks on Lonsdale. My random number generator sent me to the block where Lonsdale passes over the Upper Levels Highway, so I was able to capture one of the great cultural treasures of North Vancouver - the hours-long traffic jam that extends across the whole city every day as people try to get to the Second Narrows Bridge. It was a fairly intense drawing experience on the bridge, with traffic roaring up Lonsdale behind me, and traffic going nowhere beneath me. I did remember one essential drawing tool - noise-cancelling headphones. That made it quite bearable, and I was thankful that I didn't have to draw that block on a rainy evening in November.
