I’m posting several shots of the beach at the Pinware Provincial Park. Something about the play of light on land and water intrigued me — a different quality of light here — it was a variable cloudy day, so light conditions changed rapidly.

I’ll post a second blog of the Labrador trip either later tonight or tomorrow. There’s too much material for one post.
