Until Dusk

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 02:14:00 +0000

Until Dusk. Had a vacation on Quadra Island at a cottage on a lake. My dog (pictured) didn't get out of the water until after the sun went down. Usually the sky was bare, but on this particular night it looked like it was exploded..

Cut the Path

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 04:16:00 +0000

Cut the Path. This tree fell across the path, I don't know how many years ago, but it's been cut. The moss has taken it over, but the tree maintains a single person pathway on an otherwise multi-person path..

Two ways about it

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 30 Jan 2021 23:16:00 +0000

Two ways about it. A week or so ago, I snapped this on a hike. I love this part of the trail on Royal Roads University grounds, called Charlie's trail. Especially in the winter season when there is just a lot of water everywhere. It comes to life!.

Gushing

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 01:16:00 +0000

Gushing. On one of our common hikes today, I took along my SLR to see what I could capture. Sadly the family didn't want to put up with the time it takes to tripod, but a few of the images turned out anyways. I had previously captured this on my iPhone..

Split in Two

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 02:16:00 +0000

Split in Two. Another shot from a few weekends back shooting in the rain. I love how much the moss grows here in the pacific northwest; it's relentless, and this fallen tree is no exception..

Coloured Little Rocks

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 01:16:00 +0000

Coloured Little Rocks. On a hike with the fam again today out in Mechosin, I found a tiny little waterfall and dropped my gopro right into the base of the water. I like how the coloured rocks just pop on this one..

Swirls

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 21:16:00 +0000

Swirls. Another shot from my hike yesterday. So much water and we are getting more water today! I like the way the water exited the waterfall on this one..

Overflow

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 02:16:00 +0000

Overflow. 2020 was a year to spend with the family, 2021 is back to making new content. Figured I'd start with this small waterfall at the bottom of Francis King park here in Victoria's capital region district..

Not Wine Country

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 06:16:00 +0000

Not Wine Country. I felt like I was snapping a little row boat in Italy in the middle of wine country. But that's not at all what this is. this is rugged Squamish! With the Cheif in the background..

Pristine Baby Blue

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 08 Aug 2020 20:16:00 +0000

Pristine Baby Blue. Doing a bit of a walk about with the family around the downtown area of Squamish it was pretty easy to find a rough and tough mountain bike with mud and shocks and lot sof power, but this little guy was destined for in town commuting, and it just looked out of place in down town Squamish.

Full Moon Rise

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 08 Aug 2020 00:16:00 +0000

Full Moon Rise. Full Moon rise over Squamish BC. This was shot after the sun went down as the moon started to rise. It was magical sitting on the balcony, I took a bunch of shots before I told my family the moon was out! Tee hee!.

Social Distancing Arbutus

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 05:17:00 +0000

Social Distancing Arbutus. Been spending a lot of time in the woods these days for mental sanity, and it seems that there are even some trees adhereing to social distancing recommendations. Like this lone Arbutus.

Night Flyers

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:40:00 +0000

Night Flyers. Out shooting with a friend and we walked through a public area at night, it was pretty dark and this was a 4sec exposure. I like how the flyer stand is reflecting in the large puddle, which I had my camera sitting in on a small tripod..

Light Streaks

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:40:00 +0000

Light Streaks. Out with a friend and trying to capture light streaks. This was a shot of a random car going by of the Fernwood Inn..

Bike Parking

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 06:57:00 +0000

Bike Parking. Last night I had the pleasure of shooting with a friend from out of town and we dodged rain drops and did the best we could in this wet month of January. I was happy how this one truned out. The Parking sign was a bit of an eye sore, but I managed to weasle it into my theme here..

A life Twisted

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 16 Nov 2019 20:43:00 +0000

A life Twisted. Last weekend went for a hike and found this arbutus tree that seems to be confused about which way is up. Just twisting like a cork screw out to the salty inlet. I thought it was pretty cool..

Rolling Hills

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 01:58:00 +0000

Rolling Hills. Another throw back to when I was in Alaska. This one was amazing, on the 12th floor of a cruise ship saling down to the Dawes Glacier. The mountains on either side just shot up out of the ocean. In this case, pictures just don't do it justice..

Dyea Point

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 04:09:00 +0000

Dyea Point. Another flashback from my trip to Alaska, this time in Skagway, AK. Such a beautiful city. At the end of the stay someone recommended a small hike out to Dyea Point, boy was it worth it. Do you agree?.

Coming Round the Mountain

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 06:44:00 +0000

Coming Round the Mountain. Back in the summer we visited the BC Forestry centre in Duncan, and they had an awesome, working steam engine that travelled around on a small loop. Only a bit of waiting and you can see this train lumbering through the woods at a super slow pace..

Looks Like A Painting

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 03:12:00 +0000

Looks Like A Painting. This summer I took a trip up to Alaska and it was a bit sureal. I haven't posted any pictures yet because I think they all look unreal. It's weird how that happens. When you are photographing something that looks so different than what you are used to capturing, it doesn't feel real..

Creek Side Village

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 04:47:00 +0000

Creek Side Village. Recently took a cruise to Alaska, Ketchikan, AK was definitely my favourite place to stop. Wandering across town I stumbled upon the creek side walk looking for the salmon ladder. What a tream to find this quaint little fishing village lining the river absolutely jammed with salmon..

Hidden Cove

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Tue, 28 May 2019 06:24:00 +0000

Hidden Cove. After a treacherous "slip" down into the gully of the cove, I was rewarded with this beautiful tree reaching out of the cove for the sunlight. Sadly, again the sea otters wouldn't grace my picture, intead I got the Canadian Geese..

HeadSpace Spot

noreply@blogger.com (Sean Daniel) — Sat, 13 Apr 2019 02:57:00 +0000

HeadSpace Spot. I spent a lot of time running through Thetis Lake Park here on Vancouver Island. I usually run with my GoPro and on this particular day I got lost and found a lovely waterfall. If I wasn't on a run for exercise, I probably would have done some headspace mediation at this spot. Would you?.
