Photo of the #WestEnd #Vancouver. Taken from Locarno Beach. Five image pano. #Photography #LongExposure #Panorama&Vertorama #Nikon #Z8 Nikon Z 70-200 Sii @135mm, f8, 30 seconds #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow
This is a five image panoramic photo of Vancouver's West End, taken from Locarno Beach, which is west of the downtown. Each photo was exposed for 30 seconds so the water is very smooth, and  there are coloured light pillars in the water, showing the reflection of the lights from the various buildings.

"Fairmont Le Château Frontenac—a famous hotel and the most photographed in the world—stands atop Cap Diamant in Old Quebec. Built in 1892 by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, it was designed by New York architect Bruce Price in a "château" style inspired by the French Renaissance and the châteaux of the Loire Valley. It opened its doors in December 1894 and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981."

Crystalline light filters through the boughs of a fiery maple tree in Kyoto, Japan. The slowly moving waters of the Arashiayama river reflect the light from above. The brush strokes fit together like a mosaic of stained glass, breathing color and motion into the scene.

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland
A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.

Am is Circling in a space that never ends Twists and leaps and loops across universes Birth and death the two certainties that At the same time are uncertain One breathes the other exhales From the past to the present then the future Both sit at the edge of somewhere Waiting for the light to appear
The solar eclipse from last year. And now my attempt at poetry.
