Some nice spring clouds....

Tall trees loom over the trail to the beach at Discovery Park.

Happy Monochrome Monday!

Very pretty fungi when viewed from above....

i saw this spectacular cloud formation, appearing to be over Gros Morne Mountain as seen from a grassy meadow above Rocky Harbour, NL (July 21, 2020).

I've enjoyed Gros Morne National Park since it opened in the early 1970's and have in my younger days climbed this 807 m. mountain, the second highest on the island of Newfoundland.

Stadthalle Bremen (ÖVB Arena)

Architekt: Roland Rainer

"Bremen hat mit seiner Stadthalle einen Bau erhalten, der nicht nur wegen seiner ungewöhnlichen Form bald schon zu den baulichen Kennzeichen dieser Stadt gehören wird. Mit der sichtbaren Hängedachkonstruktion wird Neuland beschritten. Die Konstruktion wird mutig gezeigt, wobei sich fast wie von selbst – nicht zuletzt dank des Sichtbetons – so etwas wie eine im besten Sinne monumentale Wirkung ergibt. Die Bremer Stadthalle ist für uns ein Beginn, sie markiert den Übergang zu neuem Denken im Entwerfen: symbolisiert in der Zusammenarbeit von Architekt und Ingenieur.

(...) Darüber kann man Bedenken, die einem hier und da kommen, als sekundär zurückstellen."

Günther Kühne in der Bauwelt 19, 1965

I haven't seen many of these large birds flying here on the East Coast but managed to catch a shot of this one as he flew over Lake St. Louis in Pointe-Claire, QC.

Shellcamp Lake Visit 01/14/2024

Canon 60D with Canon 18-135mm IS STM

I purchased this setup gently used for a great price and I find that it's become a go to "generic" kit for circumstances where I don't really have any agenda other than to shoot what I see.

I keep going back to Shellcamp Lake for the wildlife opportunities, but the landscapes can be quite nice.

I got out later than planned, but the timing worked out pretty well both in terms of landscape shots as well as some wildlife opportunities.

This shot is of the frozen lake with some lovely clouds overhead. The light was starting to get a bit harsh, but still manageable.

I like the mild reflections in the ice.

Hope you enjoy!

Another image from a recent walk in the woods.

After sitting in the hole at Tacheeda for a local and a coal train from the Tumbler, 473 meets their final train of the day that being the counterpart manifest train 472. This was the location where CN swapped diesels for the BCRail electrics for the journey to Tumbler Ridge, hence the overhead catenary. I calculated how long 472 would take to get to the siding on the way here, I was 2 minutes off.
