False Creek
View from Charleson Park towards downtown Vancouver and the BC Place Stadium
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city.
The False Creek area was the industrial heartland of Vancouver through to the 1950s. It was home to many sawmills and small port operations, as well as the western terminus of the major Canadian railways.
The BC Place Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located at the north side of False Creek. It is the home field for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer. It was the Olympic Stadium during the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Paralympics.

Gulls, often referred to as seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. An older name for gulls is mew, cognate with German Möwe, Danish måge, Dutch meeuw, and French mouette; this term can still be found in certain regional dialects

Certain times it happens that I decided to review some older photos with the idea to improve them through the new post processing technique I've learned.This one of the Etretat Cliffs is a typical example, the previous version was apocalyptic and spectacular enough, but the realization was raw with a lot of small particulars I didn't like. This one is the new image, 2016 edition, in a color process I really like more than before and with some small corrections of details I've always noted in the old one. Anyway, this is one of the big arches of the Etretat Cliffs, it is almost the sunset, and the light is turning to red and warm tones. The sunlight is reflected from the sea on the bottom of the clouds, everything gets a blue/purple tone, even the white rocks of the cliffs are colored in pink and the scene assumes a look worthy of a fantasy tale. My luck has lured a lazy seagull flying from a rock to another in search of a place where to pass the night, why not to frame everything in a single dream?
The rose is a mythically beautiful flower. Unfortunately, I have little luck growing them. I do well with flowering shrubs--the kind that do well on their own, and require little encouragement other than a decent watering. Yet despite all the special fertilizers, bug killers, fungus controllers, and soil enhancements, there's a side of me that would like to grow a beautiful rose. But then, there's those pesky thorns.

An early morning spotlight on my favorite row of trees in Midden Delfland. They planted a new row of trees last year, possibly meant to replace the old trees in a couple of years.
Female Kingfisher (Alcedo attis). At last, after several tries, I managed to see and get some decent shots of a Kingfisher so please forgive me if I do share quite a few as I just love these stunning birds.
I was driving past in my car when I spotted this raccoon headed for an open garbage can at a Michigan Metropark. When I stopped and rolled down my window, he paused and stared at me for just a moment before diving into the can. Seconds later, he was on his way, making a beeline toward a nearby wooded area with a plastic garbage bag in tow. These garbage cans need lids, methinks.

I went this morning to get a shot of the sunrising behind them, but liked this shot better. Those are power lines in the background and I was going to photoshop them out, but I think they add a sense of being tied down. As always let me know what you think.
The tawny owl is one of the most common owls in Britain, able to live in a wide variety of habitats. Despite this, because it is nocturnal it is rarely seen. Most often, we only know of its presence by the familiar deep ‘tu-woo’ or ‘kee-wick’ most commonly heard about two hours after sunset in late autumn or winter.
there are magic hours after sunset. we all know that. it was just me, the sand, the sound of the tide. darkness came slowly and embrace me. i stayed to capture the last tiny bit of light. when there was nothing left, i turned to the moon on the other side and walked away feeling the sand under me while the cold air rushed back to the sea.
