As I walked along the road looking down on the lake, I was so intrigued with the shapes. How did they all come to be? I could hear the ice creaking and groaning; sometimes the sound of a high-powered rifle would send a fissure travelling across the entire lake. I presumed the heat from the […]
Why do I get so excited about Line!
Continuing my walk , the contrast I was looking at yesterday (previous blog post), also revealed lines. Lines can be curved, straight, diagonal, or oblique, and each evokes a different emotional response.

Driving Home Through the Night
I had to go to Vancouver for a couple of days, and when it was time to drive home, I chose to leave around 7 pm. This means that by the time I reached the Fraser River Canyon north of Hope, the temperature would have cooled off, there would be little if any traffic, and […]
