English Bay Sunset

I've never seen the tide quite so high as it was tonight, the waves were crashing over the seawall as I headed for English Bay. Stupidly, I still had the camera set on a low-res setting from the road trip to Portland so I didn't have a nice RAW image to work from.

Beautiful sunset. I guess this is one of the reasons we live in Vancouver.

This is the first shot with my new Canon 10-22mm lens, and I love it, it's so wide.

One Spring day In Yellowstone

Every once in a while my feet itch and I hear the call of the wild.
Typically, it's Yellowstone calling, and typically the call comes about
once a week.

Usually the itch gets scratched when I remember how far away it is and
it requires a 2 week vacation to make it a real trip.

But not this time ...

So, here's the deal:
  • I had 3 days .. no problem
  • Google maps kindly revealed that it's a 16 hour drive to the park .. no problem
  • Weather.com says 30mph winds and snow .. no problem
  • Only one road in the park is open at this time of year .. that's ok

So I jump in a rental SUV and head for the bad weather that lives half
way across the continent.

I had one day in the park .. this is what I saw



A big shout out to the supporting actor in this trip ... Red Bull.
Couldn't have done it without ya :)
