The 215.5' Arc x 13 sculpture on Sunset Beach in Vancouver's West End.
Part of the Vancouver Biennale outdoor art exhibition this sculpture is now a permanent fixture with the city having purchased it in 2011. Its name comes from the 215.5 degrees of arc the 13 iron rings cover.

Vancouver's Cambie and Burrard Street bridges (pedestrian, cycle and automotive pipelines into the city) looking quite architecturally sexy in the spring sunshine.
2012 05 May 04 IR HDR West End 01a
Vancouver's West End looking all tiny in the perspective distorting clarity of infra red light.
Distance haze in real life and photography is due to water in the atmosphere. Our brain tell us that the more something is caught in haze the farther away it must be. Totally smart.
Water, by design, reflects blue light which is why our oceans, as seen from space, are blue. However, by design, an Infra Red (IR) camera is indifferent to blue light and is thus equally indifferent to the haze water creates.
Take the haze out of the equation and our brain concludes that those distant objects must be up close and personal.
Tiny mountains.
Shooting in infra red is like have super hero vision.

It had been two days since the skipper had sent Gilligan and Marian out to find the needed supplies of 7 double tall half caff no foam lattes and those yummy soft taco wrap sandwiches from Starbucks and the pair had yet to return.
Needless to say he was becoming both worried and cranky.
2013 05 May 01 Sunset Beach Macro 06ann
Looking like something from the latest remake of the H.G. Wells classic "War of the Worlds" a collection of tiny flowers, each about the size of a quarter coin in real life, loom large.
We come in peace.
Klaatu barado nikto.
