By the shore of Comox Lake last weekend, on a hazy afternoon. The day before, on the way up island, we found Cameron Lake in an odd still just before dusk. The air was moist and motionless — not a hair’s breath of wind. A mirror to the otherworldly. The most serene of moments. Stillness and low overcast ceiling made for fascinating imagery…Irina is again the one to credit.
The reflections were immaculate…And the little fluffy clouds hanging just above the lake…Completely surreal. Being, moment, mood, medium. All in symmetry.
More icon than image…Green and sensual…Umm…

Gorgeous pics. The last one suggests a companion piece, no?

I spent some time in the Carmanah rainforest many years ago, with friends. We hiked through the forest to the largest Sitka Spruce tree on earth, and then on to the pacific ocean. Your pictures evoked such beautiful memories of that trip. I can almost smell the rich pine, and ferns, and green lush, even though I’m just sitting here in front of my desk-top in my friggin’ office.

Thanks all…Pictures blew me away when I first saw them too…I knew the conditions were special, but it takes skill (and talent) to capture. Irina has both…

There is something about that last one that reminds me of that ink blot test they make you take if they think you’re crazy…The ones above that are fantastic though…Irina has a lot of talent.
