Do you recognize the cover of EVENT 53/1? Taken by photographer Garrick Bassey, this photo, titled "Into the Clouds" shows off an iconic Vancouver landmark.

"This photo was taken on 35mm film at PNE Playland... it captures a group on 'The Beast,' a pendulum ride suspended more than 125 feet in the air, in a buzz of laughter, screams and excitement that fills the park each summer."

Will this inspire you to ride, or just read? https://buff.ly/3VErAor
