...is to Watch the Sun Rise with an Open Heart
I don’t know about you, but I tend to remember the moment and the feeling I experienced when capturing an image. Then as I scroll back through my photo archives and come across a Pic that brings a smile, I want to share that image and hope that, in some small way, it makes your day a little bit better too.

Hi friends, it's been a while since I've been on flickr and I almost forgot they switched to the new layout. I decided to take a couple weeks off and that turned into almost two months... I've been shooting just not posting. I cant wait to see what everyone has been up to. In the nearly two months off I've totally reworked my processing work flow and wanted to do it without any outside influences and I feel I have got it dialed in. So I guess I've been in a transitional phase you could say.
This is a shot from the Washington coast after a hike out to hole in the rock. I look forward to getting back into the flickr groove and am excited to see what you all have been up to.
White Rock is an oceanfront city in British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver.
White Rock has a moderate climate, with average daily high temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius in summer and 6 degrees Celsius in winter.
White Rock is named for a distinctive large white boulder on its beach near the promenade, a glacial erratic that migrated south during the last glaciation. The 486-ton granite boulder was kept white by shellfish-eating seabirds whose guano covered the rock, so much so that 19th-century sailors used it as a beacon. However, it is now kept white through monthly applications of white paint by the city parks department, and has been a popular graffiti target for over thirty years.
Legend.
The large, white rock is mentioned in the legends of the local Coast Salish peoples. One legend says that the white rock marks the landing spot of a stone that was hurled across the Strait of Georgia by a young chief It was said that he and his bride would move from Vancouver Island to wherever the rock landed to make a home together.

This moai’s name is Paro, and it’s one of the few names that has been preserved over time. This giant has spectacular dimensions. It’s 10 meters tall, and its weight is estimated to exceed 70 tons. This was the last moai that was seen standing by a foreign visitor, according to French explorer Abel Du Petit-Thouars, who visited the island in 1838. After that date no other European traveler ever mentioned seeing any upright moai.

I was fascinated with the way the fog played with the trees giving this late evening shot the appearance of a heavy brush stroke painting!
