While hunting for a composition, I came across this rocky area at Marshall Point. It looked like it had potential, so I examined it further from various perspectives. As in Risk Management, one hedges against the future hoping for the best outcome. And since it is always a crap shoot, we do our best to prepare as best we can.
The sunset may or may not arrive. But 80% of successful landscape photography is being there. After that, having a scenic landscape combined with sunset colours, help with the final result. The rest is in the form of technique and can be found on numerous YouTube videos.

This is my first experiment with the Google Nik Collection, which was highly recommended to me by a Flickr friend. I've been happily using Lightroom for photo management and editing and was very, very reluctant to fall further down the post-processing rabbit hole, but thought I'd give it a try. It's pretty impressive, and integrates nicely with Lightroom. The possibilities are a bit overwhelming, but over time I think a reasonable workflow can be established. Actually, I spent most of my time here "healing" freckles introduced by my dirty sensor. Gotta get on that.
I'm currently enamored with black and white fine art photography. Not sure this qualifies, but it's been fun and fascinating to pursue, and there are countless examples on Flickr from which to learn.
Having said that, I think my next post will be in color. :-)
A female red-winged blackbird perched on a cattail reed with caterpillars in its mouth, likely bound for its young. Panama Flats, Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC.
“Female Red-winged blackbirds are not actually black, and any red they have on their wings is rather muted in comparison to the males of the species. Their streaky dark brown plumage allows them to remain well hidden in vegetation, where they construct their nests and incubate their eggs.” (Source: Birdfact.com)
The Panama Flats property was previously used for agricultural purposes for many decades as early as the 1800s drastically altering the land. The District of Saanich acquired the Panama Flats in 2011 to provide floodplain management, create new trails and provide a place to grow food. The Colquitz River, which is an important fish habitat, runs along the western edge of the flats and overflows its banks during the wet fall and winter months. This seasonal flooding fills parts of the Panama Flats attracting a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Consequently, this is a very popular spot for bird watching and is one of British Columbia’s top hotspots on Ebird.Org.

A section of the vast Forumile Management Area east of Buena Vista, Colorado. The rounded peaks in the far background are Buffalo Peaks and the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness. The rock formation in the center is called Castle Rock. I often spot Bighorn Sheep near and around it. The area is jointly managed by the US Forest Service, BLM, Friends of Fourmile and other groups.
The only remaining Pennsylvania Railroad DD1 on the planet was safely displayed indoors at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in 2006.
Shortly thereafter, some genius decided it would look better sitting outside in the back yard. It has been slowly rotting away ever since.
I do not understand the management at this place; the original GG1 4800 has been rotting away outside in solid black when it was once fully restored in PRR colors. Plus that horrid incorrect font on the otherwise nice Conrail GP30, the M1, L1, K4, etc. also rotting away in the elements for decades.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada
The Vancouver Grant Narrows Regional Park is a recreation and sightseeing destination located north of the community of Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada. The regional park is best known for its birdwatching and for its boat launch accessing the various waterways.
The Grant Narrows Regional Park is situated on the southern shores of Pitt Lake and on the banks of the Pitt River. However... it is an enclosed park surrounded by dykes and nearby wetland, bog and marsh areas - most notably the Katzie Marsh and the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area.
The boat launch in the park is a very popular destination for accessing Pitt Lake by boat and for launching a canoe or kayak for river and wetland exploration. During the summer months one can rent a canoe or kayak in the Vancouver park.
The Grant Narrows Regional Park and the Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area are prime birding destinations. There are said to be over 200+ bird species sighted in the park including swans, sparrows, eagles, loons, ducks, geese, herons and osprey.
In the Grant Narrows Regional Park are hiking trails and dykes which circle the wetland area. One trail is called the Nature Trail and the other is the Pitt Lake Trail. On the trails are some wooden viewing towers for birdwatching.
A longest trail follows the outer perimeter of the park and loops around the Katze Marsh. The trail measures about 6.5 kilometres.

WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans and I headed over to Waste Management Sun Valley to check out their fleet. Sun Valley recently received 2 new LNG Peterbilt Amreps that will most likely end up in Palmdale once Sun Valley receives their new CNG fleet. There were also thousands of new black dumpsters all over the Sun Valley yard that extended to where the Bradley Landfill once was active. The Sun Valley staff was great and even started up the Road Commander for us. Thank you WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans for a great day and special thanks to the friendly Waste Management staff at Sun Valley.
