Musings on the Nikon Coolpix 2500


Now that's a sunset.

One of the neat things about the specialty modes of the Coolpix (sunset, night scene, etc.) is that they tend to suggest certain pictures. After all, if you're out wandering the streets and you turn to see a dramatic sunset, well then you just have to whip out the old camera and grab a picture.

Albion Ferry by bike, accompanied by ice


This is a shot of the Fraser river, taken from the Albion ferry. The river was filled with ice chunks as far as the eye could see.

What was I doing crossing the Fraser so far from home, on a day when the temperature never got above freezing? I was in the middle of a 60km bike ride.

Albion Ferry by bike, accompanied by ice


This is the sister ship to the ferry I was riding. As you can see, more ice.

The day was dry enough, and I did enjoy the ride after a fashion, though it was the kind of day wehre you really had to be interested in riding as its own reward.
