The River

April 15, 2015

The view out my ‘office window’ on a recent photography excursion. This was serious work (sturdy tripod, high resolution sensor and top-notch optics). And while wasted on a website photo, the image has incredible detail which will be visible in print form.

Though you could do this trip from Salt Spring Island in a day, I chose to stay overnight. My truck was parked only 7 metres from the rapid pictured above and about 15 metres from the two below. In the middle photo, you get a sense of the thundering waterfall. So thundering that I decided to move the truck farther away so I could sleep at night!

The colours of this crystal clear mountain water just needed to be photographed.

Near Botany Bay

Near Botany Bay
Two and one half hours from Vesuvius.
A place I just need to visit at least once per year.

Light Traffic

My Commute

My commute to work one day this week.
Very light traffic—didn’t see another traveller for two hours.
Met some very nice trees, birds and a river.

Seasonal Stream

March 25, 2015

Seasonal Stream

Seasonal Waterfall, three metres from a trail.
This is what an undisturbed water course looks like in the old growth temperate rainforest—pristine, natural and…gorgeous.
Or should I have removed the dead leaves and sticks lying about before pressing the shutter?
