Burke. Siwash Rock. Stanley Park. Vancouver. 2007


Siwash Rock rises majestically from the waters at Stanley park, standing between 15 and 18 metres. Travelers on the Seawall can admire this point of volcanic rock, the only one of its kind in the surrounding area. It is connected to a First Nations legend grounded in a teaching about unselfishness.
