Morning Meditation by elizabethgadd

Woke up before sunrise to get to this spot to spend an hour or two in silent solitude this morning… that hour or two turned into four hours before I even realized it. Time stands still for me in these places.

Follow Me into the Forest by elizabethgadd

I’m so delighted the snow has returned to the mountains this year (after a terrible nearly snow-less year last year!). Wandering through this winter wonderland yesterday was extremely refreshing for the soul. 🙂

Shadows in the Snow by AdamGibbs

I took this image several winters ago and actually had it in my collection here on 500px. It was a rather small jpg so here it is again in a larger format.

I was up at Seymour today and have to say that perhaps it is time for me to look for a new local winter shooting location. Because the mountain is so close to Vancouver its popularity has gone through the roof over the last number of years. Day hikers, day skiers and photographers the mountain that has been so good to me has succomb to popularity. The summits of Seymour are not large so finding clean areas to shoot that haven’t been tracked over is getting increasingly hard to do. It is still a great place to get a jolt of exercise and a small reprieve from city dwelling.

Eternal Light by AdamGibbs

Sandcut beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Sandcut waterfall is a great place to spend a couple of hours photographing. Make sure you visit during a wet spell otherwise you might be disappointed as there might not be any water.

Pensive Pepper by elizabethgadd

A moment to appreciate my loyal partner in crime during photoshoots, and all of life in general: A pensive Pepper pondering upon a tree stump for a whole 0.2 seconds before the woodland squirrels beckoned and the regular mighty chases ensued throughout the fairytale forest.

Pemberton Valley by AdamGibbs

I really need to get out and make some new images. This is a shot from a couple of years ago after a nice snowfall in the Pemberton Valley along the Birkenhead river, just east of Whistler.
