What a Sunrise

Yesterday morning I noticed that it was foggy out, so I thought I would go up to Duncan early to take a few photos before I picked up my kids. As I drove up the Malahat pass, I came above the fog, and it looked amazing. I stopped at a viewpoint and captured the image below.




There were many other people taking shots as well, but a stranger came up to me and handed me his business card. He said his camera batteries died, and he figured I would get some good shots.
I looked at his card, and he is owner of a large graphic and web design company.

I guess my point is that it is worth "stopping to smell the roses". Not only did I get a very nice shot, I also got a bit of a business lead.

One more eagle photo

Here is another in the series of photos I took in Goldstream before Christmas.



I have worked on it quite a bit. I moved the top eagle to the right a bit, to get it away from the trees. Getting the colours and tones just right took a lot of tweaking.
And I worked on the whole image with FOSS graphic programs Including DigiKam, Krita, Cinepaint, and Gimp.
It is easy to get into political discussions when talking about open source software, but I do believe we are witnessing the beginning of a new economy.

But enough of that, I really like this photo...

Funny Comic

I find this very funny....

But last night when I tried it, my wireless conked out. It must have just been a coincidence....
