last

this was the last shot I took prior to slipping on one of the painted basketball court lines emblazoned on the tarmac, in the puddle to the left of the net, and breaking the left leg...looking at this today was a bit strange, as the lure of that late afternoon light over Burrard Inlet led to my downfall both literally and figuratively..now, nearly 6 weeks later, the ordeal might be nearly over...Friday at the hospital all will become clear

Nikon D90
Nikkor 16-85mm - 1/160s f/11.0 at 62.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Love the light on the ship at centre-right, David. *V*
Sorry to hear of the break. Glad you're well on the mend again.

Well I hated that you got hurt but the location was pretty and the basketball goal does make an interesting foreground element for all the ships. You weren't trying to dunk a basket were you when you got hurt were you? Voted
