Finding Shelter in the Trees

On August 12, 2017July 17, 2017 By Mike and Christy

Looking out from the shelter provided by giant trees while waiting for the rain to slow before we hit the water for a paddle around the Acous Peninsula on Vancouver Island, CA.

  Hi Eliza, we did have a great time but getting back to the routine is taking some doing this time.

This shot looks like an old photo! Do you have used photoshop or other software ?

  Thanks, that photo was taken with my phone and a few filters to give the vintage look. Something about the rainy landscape made the vintage feel seem right.

  Thanks Jane, I used some filers on my phone to capture that photo. I tend to pull our my phone, which has a waterproof case, more than the DSLR when the weather is rough.

Rain while under a tree gives a feeling of nostalgia for me for some reason but i sometimes enjoy seeing the rainbow at the end.

  Yes, a rainbow after the storm is a nice ending to the story but sometimes that rainbow takes the shape of the storm as was the occasion this day. Hop your day is going well and wishing you a wonderful week.

  Hi and it somewhat did feel like a moment frozen in time. Being away from the masses and in truly wild places have that sense of timelessness in them. It is a nice feeling to be without the constraints of time once in awhile.
