Abandon Trestle

Posted on 4/05/2015 11:01:00 PM by


Abandon Trestle. My intent for going to Goldstream national park this weekend was to find this trestle... mission accomplished. After a short 2k hike straight up (at least it seemed that way), I popped out of the forest and found this track running across the valley. Certainly not the biggest trestle on my island, but neat all the same. Hard to get some good shots of it though due to the tree cover near by..

The Ants View

The Ants View. Train tracks go on forever. As in humans take forever to walk down them. This track I went to in Goldstream park, I didn't even try to find the end. Can you imagine if you're an ant? This would be your view, you would have to just keep walking. I guess that's why ants are tenatious. If they weren't, they wouldn't get anywhere..

Home for a Rest

Home for a Rest. Another old shot from my trip to Brazil. These boats were out all morning fishing for crabs, and just off screen to the right was the marketplace of these fisherman selling their morning rewards. This was a new editing technique for me as well. I took one of Trey Ratcliff's filters and tried that out, it's almost as he defined it. I modified a few things just a little.

Closed for the Season

Closed for the Season. When travelling in Argentina we visited the falls, but there had been a record amount of water coming over Iguazu falls, and prior to our getting there, it had destroyed this part of the walkway. As such we weren't allowed past the point where I snapped this photo. I usually don't do black and white since I like the colour pops, but this one worked best for me in Black and white. What do you think?.

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..

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

Stairway to ...

Stairway to .... Walking around Dublin Ireland, there was so much interesting detail in the steps and pathways. This one path that caught my attention and when I checked it out, it was less than interesting (a school field) but the path itself left intrigue. View the larger version on Flickr

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

Back in Time

Back in Time. The original Dublin Castle had some long reaching walls, at least after it extended a few times. This is a door on the original wall which still exists (not so oldly on Castle St.). I took this shot with both my iPhone & Instagram as wel as with my Canon 5DMII, so this is the 5DMII version. I've edited them similarly and named them the same, but they are slightly different pictures! View the larger version on Flickr

Minor Repairs to Power

Posted on 9/11/2013 07:53:00 PM by


Minor Repairs to Power. This building on the far side of River Liffey that I was unable to walk to easily, just looked so powerful to me. I twas both sadening and heartening that this building had scafolding on it. Sadening because it's such a powerful building it seems like it shouldn't need that. Heartening because the Irish are maintaining the power of the buildings! View the larger version on Flickr

Still Standing

Posted on 9/11/2013 06:23:00 PM by


Still Standing. This is the casle of Dublin, Ireland. The turrit in the center is part of the original castle, but the building connected to the left and the church on the right are fairly new, although they seem to still fit in. I'm actually standing on the castle helicopter pad, which used to be the "Black Pool" or "Dublina" in Irish (whcih is where Dublin got it's name). View the larger version on Flickr

It Keeps Going, and Going, ...

It Keeps Going, and Going, .... The Great Wall keeps going and going and going, just like the energizer bunnies. Made me wonder if energizer bunnies created it all those years ago. The structure is amazing! Right down to the water drainage, and the cool huts where you have to stop to get a break from the sun. View the larger version on Flickr

Kinsol Trestle

Kinsol Trestle. The Kinsole Trestle, now part of the Canadian Hiking Trails, is the largest train trestle in the commonwealth (and Canada) and one of the largest in the world. Sitting on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, it makes for a great little easy hike and visit. View the larger version on Flickr
