As fall approaches in the Canadian Rockies, the cool foggy mornings often create some amazing conditions for a photographer. In this image, a thick fog had been passing through this valley for most of the morning. Every now and then, there would be a break, and the sunlight would be able to penetrate through, creating some of the most incredible moody light rays I have ever seen.
Deep in the network of logging roads on Vancouver Island is a small grove of giant ancient trees in a protected area called Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park. Accessing this park is not for the faint of heart. Several hours of extremely rough active forestry roads are the only way in. Once in the park you are rewarded with some of the islands oldest and largest trees. This image is just a typical view along the main trail through the park.
Only accessible at low tide, this small cave is one of many at Heceta Beach on the Oregon Coast. I found it interesting how the waves during high tide would force the smaller stones to collect in the bowl shaped rock.
