Or should I call it Lines and Glass?
From the summer. Nothing much going on here in Kuwait as it is the work week now. I tried it in black and white but it wasn’t too interesting. Perhaps if I spent a lot of time on the black and white, but this version with colours over the top is fun. Reminds me vaguely of Escher
I took this photo of the birds in a pet store with the camera phone. A bit of a challenge as the birds move and the phone is very slow to focus, but as it is like most point and shoots with a small sensor you can easily get close for photos.
This is also my first post in the category “daily photo”. Let’s see if I can do this nearly daily. My next challenge is to get some photos to capture the spirit of Ramadan.
These are taken with the camera phone. There was so much rain that I put the big camera in a waterproof back in the backpack. And I just carried the phone in a small plastic bag in my chest pocket, readied it while in the bag and took it out very briefly for the photos due to the heavy rain. Overcast light is always nice for portraits and great color saturation.
The above photo was taken at the top of Twin Falls.
Below is the view from top of Twin Falls towards Yoho Glacier
Finally, below is a view of Takakaw Falls from the parking lot through the car windshield. It was raining fairly hard so the shot was taken between windshield wiper passes! Note the lack of tourists, though it was also about 6:00 in the evening.
Takakkaw Falls is a waterfall located in Yoho National Park, near Field, British Columbia, in Canada. Its highest point is 384 m (1260 feet), making it the second-highest officially measured waterfall in western Canada, after Della Falls on Vancouver Island. However its true “free-fall” is only 254 m. “Takakkaw” is derived from the Cree word for “it is wonderful”.
I hiked up this mountain when I was much younger with legs of steel. It is a steep hike up the smooth side on the right (South side) with no dangers unless you have a fear of wide open spaces.
Guess how I got the ripple effect in the photo?

View from the Whaleback
From our trip last week. We were lucky to have some clearing at the top of the Whaleback. There are four glacier visible in the view. The clouds rolled in a few minutes after this photo and then there was no view.

I was at the University after a very valuable visit to the Running Injury Clinic and popped in to the oval for a few photos. It is a regular stop for the tourist groups. In the past I’ve skated on the oval a few times. It’s fun!
Beautiful hike in Highwood Pass up to the col at the base of Mount Tyrwhitt. I did not ascend to the peak as that is a more serious undertaking, a scramble up loose exposed slopes. One thing for certain, this isn’t Kuwait!
