Shadows, Light and Rust

 Oh COVID-19. Will we ever see the end of you? Spending more time alone in the apartment than normal. Quarantine is making me notice all sorts of random things around the dusty house that I haven't in ages. Things that I find interesting and artistic. Oh man, when did I become a dust and grime collector? I'll ignore it and look for other interesting things to shoot in my limited square footage.

Christmas Lights on a little Boxing Day evening drive

We hopped into the trusty old buggy tonight and took a little spin around our neighbourhood to check out the fancy houses all decked out in Christmas lights. We were lucky that the rain took a break for the evening and the temperature was nearly tepid. 

These are the result of hand-held shooting at ASA 1600 to 3200, from inside a idling (sometimes moving) vehicle. They are definitely NOT the greatest of shots but I thought lovely reminders that in these frustrating times people will find joy.

Burnaby Mountain Park

November weather at this end of this beautiful country is always unpredictable. This Sunday's fall display was breathtaking. The kind of weather day BCers like to brag about and probably make Eastern Canada hate us just a little more. Well you shouldn't. You'll always win in the 'changing of the colours' department. We'll never beat you in the sweeping blanket of reds and yellows and oranges over hectares of forest. So give us this one shot at amazing fall weather! We cling to cloudless blue skies as we head into our season of  'what shade of grey will the sky be today?'. There was no grey in sight on Sunday.



















The dark grey rain clouds returned soon enough so what better way to enjoy that kind of day than with a hot cuppa?
