Changes

Southern Vancouver Island

The landscape often has a way of marking time and on Vancouver Island that
can mean seeing pieces of the past melded with current industry, mixed in
with some of the natural beauty of the area. Logging has been a dominant
industry on the island and along the bays and inlets you can find piling
marking the old sites, where the logs made their way by water and were stored
for processing at the mills. Nature's reclamation process is working
towards repossessing most of these watery relics. Now there are newer mills
in the same locations, using trucks for transportation and land for storing,
sorting and processing the logs.

Pilings are certainly a photographers friend. They add great character to scenes such as this.

Very nice low point of view and great lighting. The capture of the bird is a nice bonus.

I like this, the atmospheric haze creates a nice metaphor for the faded history of the river.. Nice comp and a good crop. I agree, the heron flying through is an added bonus..
Cindi Smith06-Jan-2010 22:07
Love the scene and the bird flying...is that an egret or heron?

I like the pano crop and the emphasis on the foreground...and the background story completes the picture!!
Gary Blanchette06-Jan-2010 18:35
My eyes wonder to the structures in the distance wondering what they are.
