Juan De Fuca Marine Trail, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Best viewed in Lightbox, i.e., press "L" on keyboard.
From last spring's (2024) trip to the Northwest. The Beach itself was pretty cluttered with all manner of things--some man-made and some natural, so I cleaned it up a bit--virtually that is. These were the first falls I've encountered that fall directly (at least at high tide) into the sea. From other photos I've seen, the falls are a bit prettier when there is more water flowing, but a relative lack of rain over the previous days was the cause.
For anyone wishing to hike done to the beach, I discovered a better trail than the one you find on maps. When you reach the turnoff for the parking lot--instead continue on a short bit (going northwest) until you reach a bridge. On the far side of the bridge, you'll see a well-worn, but unmarked trail taking you down into the forest. It's considerably shorter than the other trail (which this trail joins before long), but more importantly, it avoids stretches of mud and tangled roots.
This is a Pano combining three photos using my 35mm lens.
I was tempted to "skinny-dip" under the waterfall, and in talking to a regular on the beach, she said she'd seen people do that very same thing several times. So, I did too! I had her take a photo of me doing so, but it ain't exactly great, so I doubt it'll ever find its way into my stream.

I've uploaded three previous photos of this wondrous scene over the past six months. Each is of the same scene, each taken within 100 meters of each other with the same camera (though two different lenses) and each is a Pano combining several shots. Yet each one is significantly different from the others. Part of the difference is because two were taken with a 50mm lens and two with a 35mm lens--part due to the fact that two were taken at lake level and two were taken atop a 10 meter rock (as this Pano was). But just as important, the weather/lighting conditions and cloud patterns changed rapidly throughout my brief time spent here. There are other differences as well--one was developed as a B&W, and this one used an evergreen tree as a framing device. In any case, this spot is so astoundingly beautiful, I hardly need an excuse to post a hundred photos of the place, let alone four, :-)
This was the last series of photos I took here, and it was probably the one with the best light.
I say "final," but in reality, I'd like to go back and spend a whole day here. If that occurs, still more photos would be in the offing. But for now, this is definitely the last upload of Spirit Island from this trip.

As someone pointed out in one of the other photos, this shows up on the maps here as "Improvement District No. 12." I personally don't see how it could be improved upon. The only thing I've seen with my own eyes that I would consider just slightly more beautiful would be the Grand Canyon, and I've seen many, many gorgeous sights/sites, from Alaska to Europe.
If you wish to compare the other three photos, they are side by side near the (presently at least) end of my "The Northwest Trips" album.
é bem inspirador esse clip, queria que ficasse no estilo faroeste, tiros e muita seca n a tipografia ficou ruim, mas é que não tava a fim de fazer outra coisa. vejam na lightbox (:
She eventually decided to go up into the tree.

The sun sets behind Mt. Diablo as this antique Buck Rake languishes in a field, perhaps recalling an earlier day when it served a more noble purpose sweeping hay on a busy ranch.
This old piece of farm machinery is one of my favorite subjects for testing new gear and I happened to meet the rancher who said this Buck Rake was used in his family in the 1960's before they ultimately sold it to the the present owner to be used as a decoration lining the entrance road to the golf course.
This is a single underexposed shot, double processed and fed into Photomatix for tone mapping.
Lens is the FA31 Limited.

Whilst the splash in this shot isn't the most interesting, I was quite pleased to catch the soap bubble as it burst, even though it's not in focus!
I guess the old idiom is true - people who live in soap bubbles shouldn't throw water drops! :)

I loved the wildness and ruggedness of these landscapes when I was there (still do).
