Fall at Dawson Creek Park is to be enjoyed, experienced and photographed. Dawson Creek Park is a city park in Hillsboro, Oregon. Believe it or not, it is all man made in the midst of a large industrial park! The morning and evening light here during the fall season is excellent! This was taken late in the afternoon with a Canon XT and a 28-135. I also slightly darkened the highlights.

At the historic Diamond Tooth Gertie’s in Dawson City in the gold rush Klondike region of the Yukon, I found myself at the back of the hall during the floor show on 29 August 2008. It was the only time in my whole week in the Yukon that I left my second camera in my hotel room, with my 70-300mm lens. Because I’d never been to Gertie’s before, I just assumed that one camera, with my favourite 18-125mm lens, would be sufficient. I was wrong. I was SO wrong. But when this segment of the floor show began, with each dancer using long, broad ribbons, I had to pick up my camera and do my best. (By the way, I have never used a tripod in my life!) I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, with a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F4.5, 1/20 sec, ISO 800, focal length 58mm. Featured in MOVEMENT: MOTION BLUR, May 2009.

Ever tried photography from a helicopter? It’s a great test of improvisation, simply because of the constant vibration and the way the chopper continually shudders, even in the hands of the most capable pilot. It’s not often you get to look down on clouds and mountains, but in late August 2008 I was in the cockpit of a Fireweed chopper, flying out of Dawson City in the Yukon, Canada. This shot was taken over Tombstone Territorial Park. I was able to shoot from both sides of the perspex canopy but this was taken over my left shoulder. I waited a few seconds to get the light on the veil of cloud, and to get the peak positioned perfectly against the huge ridge we were flying over. I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way. I used two cameras on this chopper flight – a Pentax K100D with a Sigma 18-125mm lens and a Pentax K200D with a 70-300mm lens. This was shot with the Pentax K200D, F6.7, 1/2000 sec, ISO 400, 120mm.

After a summer rain this past week I went out to the yard with my macro lens hunting for raindrops. This particular one was twinkling on a fir tree and immediately caught my eye. I loved the way the rays of light were coming in toward it. I’ve included a close-up view. What looks like a lens flare near the top of the drop is actually the sun going down behind me in the horizon :) / Detail Crop / Photograph & Camera Details: Image taken in my yard – Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada with a Canon Rebel EOS XTi and Canon EF 100mm macro lens.

This building is now a Dawson Historical Complex National Historic Site of Canada. / This two-room log cabin, set amidst the willows and the alders on the lower slopes at the eastern end of the town, has long been a tourist attraction. Here, Robert W. Service, bard of the Klondike, lived from November 1909 to June 1912. During this time he wrote his melodramatic novel, The Trail of Ninety-Eight, and composed his third and final volume of Yukon verse, Songs of a Rolling Stone. Service lived a spartan life. A remote figure, he was a good listener, absorbing, in his own words, “Yukon lore by every pore. The cabin, which may have been built as early as 1897 or 1898, is typical of the time- logs well chinked with moss to keep out the sub-arctic cold, a double door, with front porch. It was heated by a wood stove, and probably illuminated by coal-oil lamps in Service’s time, although downtown Dawson had had electricity since 1899-1900. A Mrs. Matilda Day held the original title to the property, dating from May, 1900, but it was later acquired by Mrs. Edna B. Clarke, from whom Service rented it during his later sojourn in Dawson. The poet left Dawson for the last time on 29 June 1912, ostensibly on one of his periodic trips “outside” to consult with his publishers in Toronto and New York. The Dawson Daily News reported his departure in a few lines, without comment. By 1917 the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, with the owner’s rather reluctant permission, were promoting the little cabin as a tourist attraction to raise money for soldiers’ comforts overseas. After the war, the I.O.D.E. furnished the cabin in typical miner’s style of the gold rush period. Donated to the National Historic Sites Branch of Parks Canada by the City of Dawson, it has been restored to the period when Service lived in it. / (Accessed on the internet July 12, 2009 / http://www.pc.gc.ca) / / / Photographed at 12:43 am in full daylight July 16, 2009. / Canon Rebel XTi / F/5.6 / 1/13 sec. / 47mm / ISO 400
I have NO IDEA how the penny got to be on top of that perch – all I know is that I did NOT put it there! I didn’t even see it until I viewed the image on my monitor. I’m sure there is a very reasonable explanation, I just don’t know what it is…lol I would rather believe that an angel was thinking of me…someone dear and close whom I miss very much. That’s what we always say in my family when a penny is found in an odd place – that an angel dropped it down so we would know they were thinking of us and still watching over ;) This little Chipping Sparrow has become quite accustomed to my presence. I can now get close enough to photograph him with my macro lens – although that’s not the lens I used for this particular image.

Sometimes you see symmetry that includes a disparate element – and this street scene certainly falls into that category. This is the facade of the Westmark Inn in Dawson City, in Canada’s Yukon region, famous for its Klondike gold rush history. There is so much symmetry in the strong parallel lines of the timber building, as well as the perfect 90-degree angles of the windows’ framework. Yet the asymmetrical element comes from the fact that the bay window, while perfectly integrated into the overall scheme of the building, seems almost out of synch with the other rectangular frames. This was shot in the last vestiges of dusk light on 29 August 2008. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens.

Featured in Rural Canada Coast to Coast pre 1960’s – September 6, 2009 Jack London’s original log cabin was built on the North Fork of Henderson Creek, 120 km south of Dawson City, just prior to the gold rush of 1898. London entered the Yukon in September of 1897 as a 21-year-old prospector looking for gold. While he didn’t strike it rich, he later turned his Klondike adventures into fame and fortune with his legendary short stories and books. London’s cabin was abandoned after the Gold Rush. It was re-discovered by trappers in 1936 who noted London’s signature on the back wall. Yukon author Dick North organized a search in 1965 and eventually had the cabin dismantled and shipped out. Two replicas were made from the original logs. One is at the interpretive site in Dawson City, while the other was re-assembled at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA., London’s hometown. The Dawson site was developed by Dick North, the KVA and the Yukon Government. It contains photos, documents, newspaper articles and other London memorabilia. Dick North still spends his summers as an interpreter at the centre, a job he shares with Dawne Mitchell. Together they share their knowledge of London and the cabin with thousands of visitors who visit the site from around the world. The centre is maintained by the KVA and is open to the public seven days a week, mid-May through mid-September. / (http://www.yukoninfo.com/dawson/info/jacklondon.htm) / / Photographed in Dawson City, Yukon at 12:46 am / Canon EOS Rebel XTi; 17-85mm lens / 1/25 sec.; F/4; 17mm; ISO400

Two adjacent storefronts in Dawson City, in Canada’s Klondike gold rush region, caught my eye a few minutes after I arrived there last year. I was probably 65-70 metres away, because I was walking along the banks of the historic river. But I had two cameras around my neck, one with my 18-125mm lens and the other with my 70-300mm lens, so I was able to compose a really tight frame from where I stood. It might look as if these are two separate images “stitched” together electronically – but it’s one image, simply depicting two different styles, cheek by jowl. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K200D with a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 400, focal length 300mm.

Grows in dry, rocky, open sub-alpine and alpine slopes throughout most of the area. Blooms from late may to mid-June. / A low loosely matted evergreen plant with rosettes of small, wedge-shaped thick, somewhat fleshy leaves having 3 sharply pointed prongs on the ends. During dry seasons, they become very sharp and prickly. During the winter and in early spring the leaves are very red. The lower part of the stems contain many dried up and old leaves. The flower stem, 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) is quite stout, light in color and has a few small modified leaves. The stems are topped with a cluster of small flowers with protruding ovaries. Each flower has 5 lavender spotted, sharply pointed cream colored petals. / (Wildflowers Along the Alaska Highway – Verna E. Pratt) Photographed near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. /
