Intertidal Connections

This series of photos was made while exploring secret bays and shoreline sanctuaries along several hundred miles of wild and natural B.C. coastline from a dinghy, and an old 30 foot steel sailboat. Intertidal connections is a gallery featuring expressive light, and color from the northwest coast shoreline. Here I found an interconnected abundance, and considerable beauty in the nature of things expressing themselves. In these coastal realms, timeless themes of flow and forming, tides and life cycles are ever present. Slide show: upper right. Your Votes of this gallery, and photos you enjoy is appreciated.

Norman, the scope of this "Intertidal Connections" gallery is truly breathtaking ! IMO, what you have gathered here is one of the finest tributes of coastal wildlife and landscape photography that I've ever seen. Through your approach of photography as an art form you are making significant contributions, clearly based on your deep love for the natural world, as well as decades of commitment as a visual artist. Each and every shot is worth looking at and reflecting on, and then looking at again, delving deeper and seeing in your own words "the nature of things expressing themselves". This fine gallery suggests a profound, animistic celebration both of place, and of the creative process itself.
