For #MountainMonday I have a rather old photograph I made way back in 2011. The lesson from this one was to wait until the sunset is absolutely, positively, finished before heading back to the car. This one may have involved some running. :)

This is my 5000th post so I will celebrate with a photo from my archives of a grizzly bear, also known as brown bear, in the Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia.

The Great Bear Rainforest is a global treasure that covers 6.4 million hectares on British Columbia’s north and central coast. Learn more here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/natural-resource-stewardship/great-bear-rainforest

The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are one hell of a special place!

Fog envelopes an alpine basin, transforming it into something surreal. Every time I turned my head, it looked different.

I can't believe I've almost missed #WaterWednesday again. When I first started photography I often got called the #Waterfall guy because it's all I shot. Waterfalls became my way of learning #Composition in our local #Forest.

While the waterfall provided and obvious subject I could practice my framing, leading lines, and usage of foreground and mid ground elements to draw your eye to the main body of water.

This is hilarious (Because it's actually true)

Good luck to the Posties on strike! The starting wage for workers is below what most courier companies pay. Their work is essential. I fully support increasing wages and ending bonuses to executives!

Clerks start just above minimum wage, $18, mail carriers start about $20.

A living wage was set at $25.68 in BC last year.

Bullet trains will reach speeds of up to 300 kilometres (186 mph) per hour.

20 million people live in this corridor. This will be transformative.

Taken in the stunning Stanley Park after a winter storm allowed for thick fog to accumulate and infiltrate deep into the forest.

This has ended up being one of my best sellers too, along with its alternative vertical orientation.
