Taken at Shorepine Bog Trail, Pacific Rim National Park, Tofino, BC. Did a little HDR and colour work but the location is very grey except for the brush. Best viewed in Hi-res but you already knew that.

Weathered

Taken in an area very close to the city ... it is an old fishing village on a Slough at the mouth of the river. Fascinating place to photograph!

Busy

San Bernardino Light

Wandering the halls and arches at the Convent of San Bernardino (Yucatan, Mexico) was an amazing experience. The whole inside is painted a pinkish russet colour which changes depending on the light. It literally seems to glow, especially when the sun hits the central court. It is a strange, mystical...

It looked so much like what I imagined the Doll that Lestat gave Claudia I could almost feel him breathing down my neck. The whole scene was very haunting (to me), so even with the l...
