No Point Corrugation

IMG_9502-Edit

Corrugated metal is not that common in my part of the world.

But it seemed to keep on appearing while Melinda Green Harvey was visiting.

I carried her bag, and it was not heavy enough to contain surplus metal.

So I suppose she just has a magnetic attraction to the stuff. Like this shot of hers.

Note that on the west coast, we do mix our metal with cedar, so it is not quite the same.

This fence is at the Point No Point resort where we spent one night. See the others from this stay here.

Skidegate Channel

Another shot from last week’s visit to Haida Gwaii.

It was raining heavily, which it did for a few minutes here and there throughout my visit.

This is looking out from the Village of Queen Charlotte on Graham Island east along Skidegate Channel, with Moresby Island to the right and in the distance.

Drain Yoga

I came across a woman doing yoga on the Ross Bay storm drain one morning in April.

After she was done she took a picture with her smart phone.

She took enough time to have posted something to Facebook about this great spot for yoga.

Then she washed off the intertidal odours and continued with her run.

Seventeen from Autoboy 3

From the (+/>) 52 rolls of film in a year project with a 1980s Canon point and shoot that works just fine.

This is my Roll 17 for the 52 rolls project. Since I got a lot of decent shots from this roll, I can include 17 of them, for the sake of arbitrary numerical symmetry and because pretty soon the week number will be higher than the number of frames in a typical roll of film.

I recently picked up a Canon Sure Shot Supreme (aka Top Shot in Europe and Autoboy 3 in Asia) for a few dollars at a thrift store. After the very nice results from an Autoboy 2 (see here and here), I was intrigued to try the next model in that line-up and since this one came with batteries it was a no-brainer as the 2CR5 batteries cost quite a bit more than I paid for the camera.

I was not disappointed by this camera. It has its quirks, like the flash disable button is under…

On the Kwuna

I spent much of last week in Haida Gwaii on a job – lucky me! I did not have as much time for photography as I hoped – I was too busy with work and catching up with old friends.

Temporarily called the Queen Charlotte Islands, the place-name reverted a few years ago, via statute, to Haida Gwaii in a reconciliation with the Haida people.

Lichen with Flare

 

IMG_9776

This fence post allowed me to discover some of the limits of my most recent lens purchase.

I have been having a hard time finding the flare in this lens and then it decided to put a face to the flare.

Can you see the face? Could it be the spirit of past occupants, fading with the remnants of the settlement?

This is more from my recent trip via Jordan River to Port Renfrew.

We explored some of the crumbling houses and industrial buildings in this area.
