Lab Dock III
This is a view from the Friday Harbor lab dock taken shortly after dawn from in the shadow of the boat shed which can also be seen in yesterday’s post. I was inspired to take this picture by the reflected light on the under surface of the shed rafters, which has become lost in the rest of the photo, but contributes to the whole, at least for my eyes.
I am torn on these two versions of the same image as to which one works the best. The colours are fantastic, but the light in the grasses and shrubs near the water, and the way they reflect in the black and white version is particularly pleasing to me, and the complete tonal range.

This post was scheduled in advance as I am out of town and completely off grid for the first two weeks of June. Naturally I won’t be answering any comments until I get back – but please, don’t hesitate to comment, I will do my best to respond when I can.

Hi Toad – I am back, just getting my bearings in the urban setting then I will post some pictures from Haida Gwaii – in a few days that will happen. Thanks for sticking around in my absence, and for including a couple of my posts in one of your recent compilations of photos – very much appreciated, even if I was not around to notice 🙂

Hi Val – I am back. Slightly in recovery mode. My fingers are swollen from carrying 50-70lb buckets of dirt and a backfilling frenzy on the last two days, which makes typing feel unfamiliar. Otherwise I have come through with only a few of the usual bruises, no dunkings, not even soakers over gum-boot height. The weather was a mix from heavy blowing rain to bright warm sunshine. Interesting finds were made. Good times were had. It is strange to be back, but soon enough re-entry to urban life will be complete and it will be a suite of memories.

Love the continued reflection and the richness of the color in the first one 🙂

Hi Lynne – thank you! And thanks for all your comments while I was away. Looking at these pictures two or three weeks later I definitely prefer the colour version. Perhaps because today is overcast and chilly?
