There's something about rushing water that I can watch for hours and feel as if I need to do nothing more. It's alive in a way that's greater than any description of it.

We've had a lot of rain, so the creek's are rushing full on once again. I was in Mosquito Creek park, and only had my macro lens and no tripod, but when I saw this little "waterfall", I knew I had to capture it with what I had.

We are going to Vancouver Island for early family Christmas so I will be away from Flickr till next week. We had a big winter storm yesterday with snow and wind, and all the ferries in the afternoon and evening were cancelled.

"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."

Op welke manier, in welke kleur en welke vorm kan deze dualiteit van licht en schaduw, zwart en wit, donker en kleur, worden uitgedrukt?
