Geometry, Morrocan-inspired Lattice Screen Wall and Light

Geometry ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #67

With arc and sphere
With line and square
I fix the world
In sight and mind
The world I build
Becomes this kind

While Nature’s skilled
Geometry
Is rarely square
Organically
Math more complex
So beautifully

Decaying Pier and Orange Cone, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

One of these things…

Sometimes
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better

30 Seconds

The light falls fast
While I setup the camera
Darker and darker
As I extend tripod legs

Quick glances to the valley below
Hoping for enough light
To capture the clouds in the valley
To find detail in the trees
And the valley mist

Finally, set up
And capturing frames
When I begin to notice
As one light fails
Another rises

Fog in the Valley, Cheakamus River Valley, From Tantalus Lookout, Sea to Sky Highway, Near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

Faery Breath

The mist roiled down the valley
Flowing through the trees
Like faery breath
Settling over the village
Whose inhabitants slept
A night of aimless dreams
Then awoke with the terrors
Of the previous days
Quietly rescinded

Gone from memory
As if
They’d never
Happened

Tantalus Range Obscured, From Tantalus Lookout, Sea to Sky Highway, Near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

Formidable

There is nothing quite so formidable
As monumental terrain
In unfriendly weather

Light in the Darkness, Squamish River Valley, Tantalus Lookout, Sea to Sky Highway, Near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

Hunting in the Dark for Light

I go hunting in the dark
For light, I find
Where eyes see naught

For in the darkness
Beauty thrives

Captured here by glassy eyes

Snow Falling on Aspen, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Spectacle of Winter

The quaking aspen
Its shivering leaves
Long since yellowed and fallen
Spreads bare branches

A net to capture
Brittle broken crystals
Falling gently
Alighting on smallest twig
A coat of soft white
On gnarled white bark

Winter ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #65

I want to take a picture
Of winter descended
But the snowfall changed
To light drizzle
It’s cold and damp outside
True signs of a
Coast Mountain winter
