Vectorial Elevation is a large-scale temporary public art installation comprised of 20 robotic 10,000-watt searchlights that illuminates Vancouver's English Bay throughout the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The light patterns can apparently be seen from 15 kilometres away.

What a day at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics! I shot over 1800 frames in a single day -- and it could have been a lot more if the weather had cooperated...

This is my best frame from the short track event I attended at the Pacific Coliseum. It's from the Men's 1500m short track semi-final. Jung-Su Lee from Korea won the gold medal. The image is pretty much straight out of the camera with minor exposure and white balance adjustments - it's not even cropped!

An hommage of sort to Julieanne Kost's book "Window Seat"...



I always ask for a window seat when I fly, plan where I'll sit based on the anticipated light direction and keep at least a point and shoot camera handy at all times. This was one of roughly 150 images I snapped while flying to Montreal on Christmas eve. The snow dusting covering and enhancing the relief features made for some beautiful abstract images in the late afternoon light...

Frigatebirds are fascinating birds that can stay aloft for over a week at a time. They are also "kleptoparasitic" and like to steal their food (and nesting materials) from other birds -- including other frigates as seen in this picture.

Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, USA

Snoqualmie Falls looked stunning during the recent cold spell in Western Washington. But although the falls looked spectacular surrounded by giant icicles, the light wasn't terribly inspiring when I visited yesterday. So I turned my attention to the frosted rocks and the flow of the river...

First image in a little while and it's an "oldie." This one was captured in the Tropical Butterfly House at Seattle's Pacific Science Center. Great location for an afternoon of fun...



Just came back from a trip to the Galàpagos Islands in Ecuador. So you can look forward to more wildlife and bird photography in the upcoming posts...

Yet another infrared image... This one is of the spectacular view looking West on Chimney Rock Trail. Drakes Bay is on the right while the Pacific Ocean is on the left of this narrow peninsula.
