Recently I posted a photo of this tree fort on a sunny day, but early this morning there was a fog warning and I rushed down the the inlet where I knew the fog would be thick. I took several photos of forts built along the railway track, but this one, with the bridge in the background, was my favourite.
A Walk in the Woodlands after the Rain.
Here in British Columbia it has been raining for 7-8 days straight. The weather reports says to expect another 7-10 days of rain. When I saw the rain had stopped, even if just for an hour or so, I knew this would be a time to take some images and drove in the dark to Richmond to a small part area that is maybe 3 city blocks square. There was a bit of waiting while the sun came up, and then I walked quickly into the woods in case the clouds totally lifted. I went down the single path that makes its way between the trees and underbrush. There are lot’s of birch trees, but most are dying because the bog has nowhere to flow and being surrounded by streets never really dies out with the change of seasons and the roots just rot our. As they fall in a windstorm some of their white branches can become caught in the web of other branches. In the photos the broken bits look like they are magically floating, refusing to leave the sky.

Time Seems to Bring Order to the Chaos
In their last endeavour, the remains and detritus of the summer garden bring about a short moment of order like dying soldiers in a Greek tableau of war. Such carnage. These images are printed fairly large, 30x45 or larger. Their size allows for patterns to be observed that otherwise would go unknoticed.
Control Shed at Peter's Dam
This is the control shed for the dam, formerly a source of water for farmers and fruit tree orchards in Orange County. Now part of a wildlife sanctuary. After flying down from the western forests in British Columbia the brightness makes it difficult to even see.
