Magic Forest

March 31, 2014

Forest Path on Salt Spring Island

This 2nd (3rd?) growth forest changes dramatically with the weather. Time of day, light, wind and other weather profoundly affect your mood as you travel the trail each day.

Unless you’re a dog. As long as someone throws a dog the occasional treat, it’s all good.

The Long Moment

March 30, 2014

The Long Moment

Another Sunday Experiment

There’s a magic in the unrelenting motion of waves on a long, flat ocean beach. It stays with you and calls you back from your inland home.

Salt Spring Island is technically on the west coast, but not the real open coast you find on Vancouver Island and the US western coastline. Fortunately the west coast can be reached in half a day, and that’s something many of us are driven to do at least once or twice a year. We can’t help it…

In an effort to absorb the experience, it almost seems necessary to stand on the hard wet sand, eyes closed and listen to the crash of the distant breaking waves and the murmur of the water as it advances up the beach. Then walk some more and repeat.

This photo is an attempt to capture that experience. The peaceful dawn above promised another clear, clam day with distant low fog banks. The long exposure (16 seconds) hints at the never-ending wave action.

But wait! For a limited time, there’s more photos of this area! Why not head over to johncameron.ca and have a look.
