The other day my Scottish husband said, "where did summer go?" and it made me think about how much I actually enjoy that season. After spending so much time in Scotland, we got used to just flat out not having summer. Ever. A year and a half here and we've turned into spoiled weather-brats. I have to say it, I miss the sun. I miss going out without a coat. I miss my Birks! Thinking about sun made me think of the best time I had last summer and that was our stroll up The Chief. I'd known of it my whole life but had never done the trek. It was all it was cut out to be and more.
So, I'm thinking about summer and of sweaty, smiley hikes and flipping through the Unplugged Flickr Pool and there it is. My mind described photographically! This image filled me with joy and it was just so timely. It also reminded me that I've got a handful of rolls of film to get developed from right around the time that this was made! Adventure, thoughtfulness, calm and the future are what I see in this image and these things are so much of what summer means to me.
Thanks to your September-self for making this image, Thomas and for the reminder to get that film processed!
There was a lot of amazing photography in the pool this week folks, please keep posting and spreading the word about the Unplugged Flickr Pickr.
It’s that point in your consciousness where you can feel at one with nature, escaping the trappings of the day-to-day to an almost dream-like place where nothing else seems to exist besides you and your natural surroundings. It is our opinion here at VIA that Vancouver holds a unique place in the civilized world in that reaching this state often requires no more effort than simply pulling off to the side of the road, pocketing your keys and taking a few steps into the forest
