Ooops.... (read the text)

I'd intended to post this quite a while back but as I'm out of the habit of posting I guess I just forgot. It was taken the same day as my last post and I didn't initially like the result as I felt that it was achieved through photoshop 'gimmickry' rather than practiced skill but it has grown on me in the interim.

I've also been doing a little sifting through some of my archived material (stuff that didn't get posted first time around) looking to see if there isn't something more that might do in a pinch until I get something new that I like. Assuming that I don't forget to get around to posting some of it, posting should get a little more regular, at least for a while.

Shed on Thom Mtn.

I spent a couple of days out at Cultus Lake recently; while there two afternoons were passed driving around the area in search of photo subjects, with an emphasis on old barns. Seemed like an achievable task, there's lots of farming going on around there. Prosperous farming, though, it seems, as there were very few old barns around (and even fewer that were accessible without significant trespassing).

This isn't really a barn, more an old shed I suppose, but it's the best I came up with so it'll have to do. I was very tempted to do something a little more adventurous with the processing but have decided on further consideration to leave it as-is.

At rest in the tall grass

Second Picture from Ladner, or at least I think it qualifies as part of Ladner as you have to go through Ladner to get here.

It was taken on Westham Island (where the Reifel Bird Sanctuary is located), a place with very few roads, none of which provide access to the west side of the island, much to my irritation, as that was the part that most interested me. Some other day I'll really have to check out the bird sanctuary too. I did drive into the parking lot (just checking out where all the roads went) but it was only open for another 45 minutes and it deserves much more time than that.

To get to where this picture was taken, just go over the quaint, wood and metal turquoise bridge and take the first left onto Trim Road. Follow this less-than-one-lane road about 800 meters to the end (where it turns into a driveway), and you'll be here.
