Hey guys! I'm back from Canada and the whirlwind trip to Grafton for my mum's 90th birthday. I have heaps of photos to process, of course, but I thought I might post a few of the better or more interesting ones here as I do them... just in case you're interested in having a look.

I'll start off with some images from Skookumchuck Tidal Rapids. There are so few places in the globe like this. Skookumchuck struck me as a special place. Of course, it was overcast there at the time. I haven't done any colour adjustments on these, as I haven't seen the place in sunshine, and so I'm a bit unsure about what's realistic/true colour - so I've left them as captured for the time being.

The last image is of Shannon Falls which is near Squamish about half way between Vancouver and Whistler. Apparently the fall are over 300m tall... it had me fooled! I'm pretty used to estimating the height of cliffs and waterfalls, but I had it pegged a lot less than that. The Shannon Falls image is a panorama of 3 with some shadows and highlights and colour adjustment as it was very contrasty at the time.

All images captured with the Oly E-510.
