Light

Prairie Light

South of Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Tender Melting Mystery

We don’t see light, we don’t notice it, until it’s really working, penetrating fog and mist as sunbeams. And then, it’s marvelous and mysterious. The title for this photograph is a quote from Emily Carr.

A Breath of Light

For a moment, in the silence of Cathedral Grove, a steaming vapour rose from the vegetation. Watching the light dancing in the mist, I had a very real sense that the earth and I were breathing in harmony.

Light Show

Walking along Muir Creek Beach, it was the light that caught my attention, how the trickle of water, falling from the cliff above the beach captured the sunlight. I paused and had a long slow look, trying to see if I could capture the beauty of the moment. I took a number of slow shutter speed shots, trying to extend the movement of the falling water in the sunlight. I like the feel of this photograph and Muir Creek Beach has become one of my favourite places.

Sword Testing Rock

This photograph felt empty to me. It seemed to need a mother and child, or a warrior, sitting on the rocks with the heavenly light falling upon them. Perhaps a small understanding of this moment though is that the light will shine, whether we are there or not. What a privilege then, to be present in this moment.

Into The Mistic

The sun was painting the spaces between the dark trees with rays of light. Sunbeams were radiating through the mist, transforming the forest into a mysterious place of awe and wonder.

Something Special

Heading towards French Beach, on Vancouver Island, we turned off Woodhaven Road onto Seaside Drive. And there was the light, streaming down through the mist, fabulous!
