The other night I ended up on a roof in Vancouver as the last bit of the fireworks festival was happening. I turned off the flash and set the camera down with the auto-time going. Got a couple but this is my favorite because as soon as I saw it I thought about Hans Gruber. For those of you not familiar with the name.. it is the first big appearance of one Alan Rickman who most everyone knows nowadays as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movie series.
But back to Hans Gruber. Hans was the antagonist opposite Bruce Willis' character back in Die Hard. Yes no numbers after that title. Die Hard the first. It is a classic movie. And Alan Rickman is in another one of my favorite movies as well and that would be Quigley Down Under starring Tom Selleck. Come to think of it... other favorite Alan Rickman movies would be Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, and Christian Slater (as Will Scarlet) and Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen.
There ya go.. amazing how the mind wanders from one photo to another. Oh we of the wikipedia/internet age. ;)

Temperate Coastal Rainforest
It's been much too long since I've written or posted.. such is life eh? Seasons for creativity, seasons for observation, seasons of business and ones of time....
All in all.. life goes on and it's in a positive progression.. i guess progression automatically indicates that.. otherwise it'd be regression eh? ;)
Make the most of your moments and be thankful for what we have left... ever heartbeat one less to live.. every breath one that'll never again be breathed.. and every smile a new creation
