Strong Roots

While visiting Mt. Edith Cavell Glacier, we walked to the glacial pond.  The outflow streams appear to not follow a warn path as the material is all the same - glacial deposit. 

This tree was less than two feet tall  and I would guess about 8 years old.  In the cold glacial climate and uncertain soil to grow in, it was amazing to see it surviving.

The image is unique as I made the photo by almost placing the lens in the water.  Looking from different perspectives creates unique images.

Golfing in majesty

As a fun excursion in Jasper, I went with 4 golfers and took photos of the beauty and their golfing.

The difficult part of these locations is that there are too many options to choose from.  I tried to capture the 3 horizontal bands of interest - green space, mountains, clouds.

Glowing Cone Coals

This was exciting to take.  There was a pile of Douglas Fir cones near our campfire pit in Willingdon Beach, Powell River this July.  Throwing them into the fire the initially burned; however, they stayed as formed cones for a long time.

To get this shot, I had to take several shots with different shutter speeds.  I also tried with flash and you could see in that image that they were actually ashen coloured.  When the fire finally died down, these cones were completely ash.

Strong Legged Tree

This amazing tree looked like it was leaning over with outstretched legs on Lac Beauvert, Jasper.  I did also take this shot as two images but have not spliced them together yet to get a different perspective.
