I did not know that deer, like goats, have horizontal pupils! (Look closely) .Weird! Black-tailed deer ruminating in back of my house. She is not much disturbed by my presence on the deck above her.

I left Camrose much later than I thought I would and was disappointed that had missed the sunset. That disappointment faded as an Alberta thunderstorm rolled in just in time for me to get a few lightning shots by one of my favorite abandoned farm houses.

This silence is all pervading, from the innermost depths of the human being, whose margins are God’s margins, to the widest embrace of human compassion. “What to do,” asks R. S. Thomas, “but to draw a little nearer to such ubiquity by remaining still?” Let us journey home, then, to the silence of our own fathoms by becoming still.

Set of 5 images.

Although they are called waterfalls, they actually consist of intense tidal currents hurtling through two narrow gorges. Massive tidal movements create a waterfall effect as water banks up against one side of the narrow cliff passage, to be repeated again on the turning tide. The tide builds up in front of the gaps faster than it can flow through them and there can be a four-metre-high waterfall between the bays.

 

The falls were described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world”.

 

Travelling through them on special powerful speed boats provides one of the worlds natural adrenalin rushes. The gap between the two rock faces does not leave much for any errors but then these drivers have been doing it for a long time.
