Walking the Water is part of the Ways To Walk series of small softcover books documenting—through photography, prose and map graphics— short walks in search of nothing in particular other than some vague understanding of where I am at any particular moment.

From the book:

"If you look at a map of North Vancouver, three geographical elements appear to define its character: the mountains, Vancouver Harbour to the south and, in between, Highway One. East-west lines that squeeze the district into a long, narrow box.

The walker sees North Vancouver differently, from a perspective only available to those on foot. The walker sees the city as a network of paths following the course of rivers and streams as they run north-to-south down the slope of North Vancouver. Shoelaces that naturally tie together mountain and sea. Forces of nature cutting across the otherwise impenetrable barrier of The Highway and breaking down the organized grid of streets.

Walking the Water is a remapping of North Vancouver based on several walks that trace the north-south flow of its waterways."
