Long since abandon



Long since abandon. This lighthouse or tower was on the Argentina side of Iguazu falls w hich I visited summer 2014. I tried a new editing technique on this one, and I like how it gave it a rather abandon, mysterious look..

Fremont Art



Fremont Art. This is a really old shot of mine, but it's always been one of my favorites. I haven't put it online yet, and I wanted to change that. If someone knows who the artist is (ABZ?) please post it in the comments, I'd love to compliment the artist, as this is an awesome wall! View the larger version on Flickr

Takes a Lickin', Keeps a Tickin'



Takes a Lickin', Keeps a Tickin'. Some trucks are never meant to die, like this one! It was hosting a folk band at a Halloween festival. These old trucks are so unique, with their rounded fenders and I'm sure with this guy, ever dent and bump has a story behind it. View the larger version on Flickr

Hocus Pocus



Hocus Pocus. Heritage Acres on Vancouver Island (Saanich) hosts an "Enchanted Halloween" every year leading up to Halloween night. This pumpkin was on the witch's house where kids were supposed to go to trick or treat. Caught my eye, and turned out rather cool. View the larger version on Flickr

1000s of years



1000s of years. It's amazing to me what man can build, and it's even more amazing to me what mother nature can take back. This is the roof of one of the buildings in the Forbidden City, at one time pristeen and free of dirt, now contains grass that simply decided to grow there. Mother Nature for the win!

Lonely Walkway

Lonely Walkway

While visiting the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park on the big island, there were some old glyph’s about a 20 minute walk from the road.  I managed to hike across the lava field to find the glyph’s surrounded by a walkway, in the middle of no where.  I really liked how old the wood looked in this photo, so I snapped that off first.

Glyph's in the Laval Field

Just so you know what I hiked out into the lava field for, I’ve included this shot of the glyphs.  Kind of neat to see something so old, although a 40 minute hike to see some stick figures on rock??

Happy Holidays

Christmas Tree 

I’m working on getting a great HDR Christmas tree, this one was my second attempt.  The first attempted was messed up by funky lighting and poor ISO choice.  I’m going to try again tonight, but I’m pretty happy with this one.

Clos Saragnat visits Seattle

IMG_0873[4]

Yesterday I talked about being on assignment.  Well the assignment was to make this bottle look like it appeared somewhere in Seattle.  Out of the photos that I snapped I think this one turned out to be my favorite.

Empty Pike’s

Pike's Hall

While out on assignment, I wondered through Pike’s Place Market late Sunday evening when it was almost completely closed down.  I have never seen this place so empty.  I snapped this shot at the far end of the market with a few stragglers hanging back.

Tall Ships in a Miniature World

CRW_9881.CRW (Large)

This is a shot of Tall Ships, that are 1.5 inches tall.  Victoria has a Miniature World, that is one of the better attractions in Victoria in my opinion.  They have a giant train which goes from coast to coast of Canada.  These Tall Ships were representative of Newfoundland.

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

Drove up to Parksville to see the Sand-Castle competition at Parksville Beach.  This one was the one that made you think the most.  The park had an Olympic theme with the Olympics coming to Vancouver, Canada.  This particular one had an ice skater fall through some thin ice and the judges were hearing no evil, seeing no evil and speaking no evil.

Yes, this is made out of sand.  Amazing isn’t it.

Steps

Steps

Just outside the Sheridan Hotel in Ka’anapali, they tell you how far it is to go to familiar places around Hawaii, and how long it will take you to get there.  Clearly we went the shortest distance

Water Depth Measured in Colour

I’m back from vacation in Hawaii, and finally caught up from the onslaught of work enough to get back into processing and posting photographs from the trip!  These two “stand-up” surfers were just out on the water having a great time.  What attracted me to this photo was the lines of the water, as it got deeper and deeper.
