Vancouver Rainbow

We see a lot of rain in Vancouver but it normally isn't followed by a rainbow ... just more clouds. This afternoon the sun came out while it was still raining across the water in down town Vancouver, which made a nice rainbow over the city.

Silhouette Stairs

Woke up early on boxing day and headed down to the beach in South Victoria to try out my new tripod I got for Christmas and this was one of my favorite shots from the morning. I got lucky this lady was out for her morning walk just as the sun came over the stairs because there were many others out that morning.

Spring Sprouts

Took this photo last year while on a hike at the top of Cypress mountain. The stream was formed from the melting snow which has just recently left this part of the mountain allowing for the plants to sprout up for the first time even though it was already August.

Rock Lake in Fall

The highlight of Booth Rock trail is the view of Rock Lake from the lookout. The view is even more spectagular in fall as the trees change color, I was lucky to do this hike just when the leaves were changing.

Cloudy Ripple

Taken from my favorite spot down by the water near my place in Vancouver. I have a similar photo many times but it always ends up different because the clouds are different and the tide changes, makes it interesting.

Overhanging Anchent Tree

I often consider makeing my photos black and white but 90% of the time I like them better in color. This is one of those rare times when I looked at the black and white and thought it really improved the photo. The color version contain a lot of green (from the grass and moss) and a very blue sky which distracts from the crumbling temple. The black and white version allows you to better view the ancient temple which is the best part of the photo.

Rocky Sunrise

One of the great things about photographing the seaside is that it is constantly changing with the tides. I must have taken photos from this same area 20+ times (because it is a 5 minute walk from my place) but I can always seem to get a different photograph.

North Shore Forest

Just north of West Vancouver is Cypress Mountain, which is covered in second growth forest. Took this photos while doing the brothers creek hike. The forest was cool and dark but the the sun was peaking out through the trees in places.

Eagle Bluffs Flower

I went on a hike up Cypress mountain in West Vancouver, to go to Eagle Bluffs to take some pictures of the view, but when I arrived at the bluffs there was no view ... I was in the middle of a big cloud and couldn't see more than 20 meters in front of me. Since I had carried my camera all the way up I was determined to find something to photograph and found this cool looking flower on the bluffs, different than a view of the city but not bad photo none the less.
