After getting shut out at Glacier Point for a number of years, I was finally rewarded with some great light on my last visit. I started shooting as soon as the first bit of color stole across the sky and eventually the entire Western end of the valley was lit up. The irony here was that I was hoping there would be few to no clouds on this particular trip as I was there to shoot the Milky Way, along with quite a few other photographers. As I set up my tripod, I overheard a park ranger giving a lecture behind me on where the Milky Way WOULD be if you could, in fact, see it. I was starting to feel pretty depressed at this point as I had made multiple trips to Glacier point without much to show for it. Two summers ago I was smoked out by a huge fire, last year too many clouds for the Milky Way, and multiple trips in between with no sunset or sunrise. As I stared sulkingly off into the horizon, I noticed a faint bit of color in the clouds. Within just a few minutes the entire sky had lit up and the poor ranger was left with only a handful of people as the crowd moved en masse to the railing and began shooting like mad.
The Milky Way was a no show that night, but at least I walked away with my first decent sunset at Glaicer Point in four years. I'll be headed back to try the Milky Way at least one more time this year, so fingers crossed!

Shot with my new (to me) Pentax A 50 f1.2 at f1.2.
I am liking the narrow depth of field and bokeh has a bit of character which I like.
at the Valley Building library.
It's an interesting building. This is a light and airy section for reading/working, with circular stairways to upper stacks (the railing on right), located between the main part of the building and the deep stacks of bookshelves.
listen : Sailing
I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again ′cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say ..............
Toronto at 6am - Railing along the seawall in the park behind the R. C. Harris water treatment plant on Lake Ontario.
At the entrance and on the edge of Stanley Park, the Sea Wall offers a very pleasant journey. It is 22 kilometers (14 miles) in length, and is often quite busy. Wide enough to carry the marching crowd, and also enjoyable enough for others to saunter.
In this shot, the man-made stone like railing extends to the edge of the Park. This is the point where it begins, and leaves the downtown area of Vancouver. As you can also tell, colors show it is taken at sunset.
AAW March 5 - 12: Entropy
A railing and wall was being eaten slowly by rust. Cropped in post for symmetry, and added contrast to bring out the rust.
Just before this photograph was taken near the edge of the pavement on St John's Road in Tunbridge Wells, an approaching woman came up and started pulling me out from the road, saying in an annoyed fashion that it was silly to be standing "out in the middle of the road" with a camera. !? Had to eventually ask her stop touching me… ! Classic.
