Kayaking the Great Bear

Kayaking in the Great Bear

This is a bit of a departure for me - including a human in an image!! But when this scene unfolded before me during a recent trip into the Great Bear Rainforest on the BC coast I couldn't resist pointing my camera its way!

Before anyone thinks "over-saturated colours" I have to say that the colours have been globally DESATURATED (by 10 Photoshop "units") - except for the reflections in the water immediately below and around the kayaker. One of the many reasons I travel into the Great Bear Rainforest each year is the colour!
