Another view of Ross Bay Cemetery, though it could be nearly anywhere. The healed amputations of limbs, on a tree that I did not notice much else about – actually I am not even sure if these shots are on the same tree, though this seems likely as they were taken within seconds of each other. Unlike the rampaging arborist hacking away with a saw many years ago, I did not notice if the tree was a conifer or deciduous.

Dockside View II
Another from my Dockside Green series that ran a few weeks ago. This is a view up the Gorge past the Bay Street Bridge. An early post, Dockside View, could probably be made into a panorama with this shot on the right side, though there was better lighting just a minute or so later when it was taken.
Ogden Point Timelapse
Last year I did a series on the Ogden Point Breakwater and it seemed a good place to try my first ever time-lapse photography. As it turned out the breakwater is undergoing an improvement – a hand rail is being installed along the top on both sides. This ruins the aesthetic of the place in many ways, but probably satisfies the risk managers, somewhere. My plan to capture the sunrise from near the far end of the breakwater was thwarted by barriers, so I set up on the side-walk beside Dallas Road.
The location I chose had a constant stream of walkers passing by, and I set the camera up to catch them in the distance. However the exposure soon darkened enough that they don’t show, and the frame interval was too long to give a nice feel of motion to them or the float planes that were landing for the first half hour, or even the pilot-boat that went to ships and came back twice while I was stood by the camera steering dogs on the ends of leashes away from the tripod leg.

Doug Lafortune Welcome Figures, University of Victoria
Last year I posted a series of images on a pole carved by Charles Elliott that is standing at the University of Victoria. On that same visit I also photographed these Welcome Figures which are carved by Doug Lafortune and stand at the main entrance to the First Peoples House at U-Vic. This building features a great deal of First Nation’s art from south western British Columbia – the artists are listed on this link, as well as information about the architect (Alfred Waugh is also an indigenous person) and other details about the purpose of the building at this link.
