“Light at dusk” could be the English translation of the title of this book “Birtan í Húminu”. A book of poems by Canadian poets.
It was published by The Reykjavik International Literary Festival and features poets that have won the Griffin Poetry Prize, among them A.F. Moritz, C.D. Wright and Michael Ondaatje.
I had the honour of having one of my Photos on the cover.
Here is the original photo, it is from a fall trip to Port Renfrew.
Between Otter Point and Sheringham Point. Watched the sunset on our way home from Canoeing on the San Juan River in Port Renfrew.
…summer swimming, canoe trips and meteor showers. A nostalgic sketch on the near past, as it floats by ever so quickly.
Woods at night are scary places– you can see the trees closest to you and a glimpse of the further ones. So many things that can be hiding. This feeling probably comes from being from Iceland– no woods to speak of and nothing to litter the horizon, no scary cats or growling bears– only sheep. And they only attack when grumpy.

Did an assignment for PNR shooting the RCMP Musical Ride last weekend. It was a fun event with sky divers, Scottish Pipers and of course the RCMP Musical Ride. Great to see the RCMP in their distinctive red uniforms and the Musical Ride was pretty amazing.
I had the pleasure of Photographing a wedding a couple of weeks ago. Allison and Kevin got married in a small church in James Bay Victoria BC and then we headed out for some shots.
Me and Greg Miller went to Whistler to cover Chill on the Hill, for BCoutside.com – Had a fun time and some good shots. Look for a story on it on BCoutside.com tomorrow.
On the way back we got some crazy BC weather, went from 38 degrees in Whistler to a mixture of Sun, rain and strong winds when arriving on Vancouver Island. Made for a pretty sunset.
One of the most beautiful places I have visited on Vancouver Island is Nootka Island. Now Vancouver Island has no shortage of beautiful places and I have been to many of them, still Nootka casts a special spell on any traveler worth their salt. Rugged west coast feeling and rich history resonate with the explorers’ soul, plus there is some really good fishing!

Summer is sweet, busy but sweet. I have done some interesting assignments this summer but all of them are still in post production, have not yet been published or used. So I cant either.
I moved out to the country last month, 30km from Victoria to the beautiful Metchosin. Enjoying it thoroughly and doing a lot of personal stuff.
BCoutside is busy as always check it out for some fresh stories and photography, lot of new stuff will be there in the next couple of weeks.
I have begun Twittering, follow me on Twitter if you Tweet, it´s fun. http://twitter.com/SnorriGunnarsso
