Rock on the Maracana!



Rock on the Maracana!. Recently in Brazil, I had the pleasure of going to a number of World Cup games, two of which at the Maracana in Rio, Brazil. This particular shot was taken at the Columbia/Uraguay game where Columbia beat Uraguay 1-0. But at the time we didn't know that, the players are just taking teh pitch.

Preparing to Decend into the Cloud



Preparing to Decend into the Cloud. I was out snowboarding this past weekend, and I had my GoPro with me. The neat thing was that we started at the bottom of the hill and could barely see 100 feet, it was sooo foggy. about half the way up it cleared up completely, and it was pretty breathtaking above the clouds!

Mother on a Mission



Mother on a Mission. The galloping Goose is one of my favorite walking or running trails, and runs throughout Victoria. This mother was caught walking her babies down the path on this beautiful winter day View the larger version on Flickr

Longing for the Day



Longing for the Day. I haven't had time to get out and take as many new pictures as I've wanted, so I started going through some old shots. This one caught my eye, remembering back in 2009 when I went to Maui, Hawaii. Just the relaxation of sitting on the beach watching the sun go down. How I long for that day again!

Crabbing



Crabbing. Out in Sidney, BC, there is a long fishing pier, and this guy happened to be all alone today crabbing. What's interesting is this guy also taught me how to tell the difference between a male and female crab. Can you do that? View the larger version on Flickr

Morning of Glory



Morning of Glory. The main gates to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland is very impressive. You walk through these castle-like walls and enter into this giant open green space with this spire in the center. In December, the sun is so low in the sky, everything gets that morning light and everything just looks amazing. I was just another lemming walking through the gates to school in the morning.

Blown Away!



Blown Away!. On Grafton St in Dublin, Ireland, lots of street performers gathered to try to take a few dollars from the christmas shoppers that would wonder by. I kept finding myself drawn to this guy. He would be in this position for hours, maybe folding up his umbrella or crossing his left over his right leg. The only thing I could figure was he never moved his right foot/leg, so perhaps there is a stake that goes into the ground, up his leg and provides a seat and backrest. What do you think?

The Other side



The Other side. Late last year I made it over to Dublin, Ireland. There are plenty of bridges over the River Liffey, and this one caught my eye. The sky was cloudy and with the bridge, made for some really cool reflections. As a side note, December in Ireland is a very short day. The good news is the sun-light for photography is almost always that perfect dawn/dusk time of day as the sun doesn't get very high in the sky at all! View the larger version on Flickr

Fish Market

Fish Market

Today we had lunch at the Pier Bistro (building on the end of the pier). I totally recommend the Halibut and chips, it's their signature. Along the seawall, I took a look back and saw the Fish Market and the restaurant on the pier. Took a quick snap which I turned into HDR with a single RAW file. View larger version on Flickr.
