Hiking on Vancouver Island can be sensory overload. Not only does one see all the amazing vistas along the ocean, but the wind is wild against your skin, and the smell of the salt spray lingers in the air; the taste of it on the skin. It's easy to become mesmerized and want to photograph the waves, the pounding surf, and the ships on the horizon. But I find myself overcome by the details all around me, especially the work of the wind. No matter where I am on earth, I am always amazed at how the wind can change a landscape, and in turn, how the landscape adapts to it.
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." (William Arthur Ward)
