Supurb Sunsets

Up on my vantage point just to the west of the Burnaby Heights, I sometimes have the pleasure of seeing fantastic sunsets.
Taken in a February, the streaks of clouds seem to lead to the brightest point of the sunset.

Not amazing, but I like the texture of the cloud layer.

An incredibly vibrant winter sunset.

The moon dips low enough to be taken alongside a hazy sunset and a barely blooming plum tree.

IRC Chums

For the last couple of years, I've been involved in the Infinity TQFE community, during which I've made several friends (or they may consider acquaintances). Being a secretive bunch, we rarely trade photos of what we look like, so I've had to form persona's of what they look like as I'm a very visually oriented person.

Nature Art

Last year, I came across the British nature artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Since then I've been quite interested in the use of simple ingredients to create a fantastic picture. This led me to finding other nature artists like Richard Long. I've occasionally gone to the forests and parks near here and tried my hand at making some pieces.
Here are some of the results thus far:

This one involved me breaking a dozen bricks apart and picking through a pile of gravel. Several attempts at symmetry later and viola!

One rainy February afternoon, while waiting for friends to complete a musical competition, I went to English Bay and while creating some original pieces, also copied one of Andy Goldworthy's ideas to a satisfactory result. Shell butterflies, shell flowers and a shell size gradient.

At another point, I went to the Deep Cove Bird Sanctuary and spent the afternoon intent on building inukshuks.


More whenever I fix my bike and go out this summer.
