Iona Beach

 

OK, GONE ARE ALL THE OLD PICTURES OF IONA BEACH REGIONAL PARK. HERE ARE THE AUGUST 2ND, 2026 VERSION: A DARK AND BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH THUNDER IN THE SKY AND RAIN ON THE GROUND. 

I JUST LOVE IT WHEN THOR AND ODIN ARE COMBINING AND PUTTING EVERYTHING ON DISPLAY IN A DARK AND "RAGNAROK" WAY.

WAITING FOR "MR PARK" TO OPEN THE GATES, AS THE
SUN RISES IN THE EAST (WHERE ELSE?).

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE SUN. 
HELL (HEAVEN TO ME) IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE.

WESTJET ON APPROACH; 
LAST FLIGHT BEFORE THE STRIKE

BALD EAGLE WAITING FOR DINNER (ACTUALLY BREAKFAST)
TO SWIM BY

SEAGULLS. RATS ON WINGS. STILL, GO READ
"JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE SEAGULL". EXCELLENT READ, AND SHORT.

OK, BRING OUT THE SHOTGUNS!!!

THIS ONE IS FOR ALL US TREE-HUGGERS.

ULTRA SIMPLE. JUST A MIRROR IN FRONT OF A LOG.

LOW TIDE. A FEEDING FRENZY FOR BIRDS LIKE THE SANDPIPER.

SOMETIMES BEACHED LOGS RAISE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

DON'T KNOW HOW THE HELL THEY DRILLED THAT HOLE
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE LOG?

A NEW TREE SPROUTING ON A DEAD STUMP.
MOTHER NATURE HAS HER WAYS.

NEVERMIND THE PLANT. IT WAS THE SAND THAT FASCINATED ME,
BUT I NEEDED SOMETHING TO GIVE DEPTH TO THE PICTURE.

AUGH...THAT'S JUST PRETTY. EVEN FOR A GUY.

REMEMBER THE PRIVIOUSLY MENTIONED SANDPIPER?
HERE (S)HE IS, IF i AM NOT MISTAKEN.

(S)HE'S EITHER POSING FOR ME...OR KEEPING AN EYES ON ME.

PLEASE, SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW?

HELL (HEAVEN TO ME) IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE. MY FAVOURITE PIC.
JUST LOVE WHEN THOR ROLLS HIS CART ACROSS THE HEAVENS ON HIS WAY TO RAGNAROK.

DEFINITELY NOT A DOG. SOMETHING WITH LONG, SHARP CLAWS. RACCOON?

BIRCH BARK, FOR SURE, BUT HOW? NO BIRCH IN ABOUT A 500 KM
RADIUS, AT LEAST. THOSE DAM SCANDINAVIANS, I'M SURE.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ZOOM IN, BUT SEE THOSE 3 STONES?
YOU COULDN'T GET THEM OUT WITH A JACKHAMMER. MOTHER NATURE RULES SUPREME.

DOOMSDAY, GENESIS, CALL IT WHATEVER YOU LIKE.
RAGNAROK IS COMING!

FOOK! THAT LOOKS LIKE A SLICE OF MY OWN SOURDOUGH BREAD.

SOJU? IT'S THOSE DAM KOREANS, AGAIN.
CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF, 개자식들.

 NOT SURE I CAN EXPLAIN THIS ONE. YOU EITHER SEE IT, 
FEEL IT, OR YOU DON'T. I DID.

 ARE WE KEEPING TRACK? SHOULD I CALL THE MILL AND TELL THEM TO COME AND PICK UP THEIR SHIT: "I'M NOT HERE TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU"?

TWIRL, BABY, TWIRL.

OK, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ZOOM IN, HERE, BUT SEE ALL THOSE LITTLE HOLES? SANDPIPER DIGGING WORMS IN THE SAND. LUNCHED SERVED.

DAM, THAT LOOKS LIKE ME WHEN I HAVEN'T SHAVED FOR 48 HOURS.

REAR FOCUS

BEING POMMELED BY THE RAIN.

SALMON JAW. IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN A CHINNOOK,
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

RESPITE! EVIDENCE ON THE BLADES OF THE TALLGRASS.

THE THUNDER TREE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT DARK, "GOTHIC" FEEL.

THUNDER TREE, DIFFERENT ANGLE.

THUNDER TREE IN MONOCHROME.

TRUST ME, YOU COULDN'T GET THAT STONE OUT WITH A JACKHAMMER.

HUNTING FOR THAT MOIST, THICK, WET AIR.

I THINK I GOT IT, HERE?

BARNACLES. LIVE ANIMALS. THE SEAWEED YOU JUST PICK OFF AND EAT.

THE HANGMAN WAS HERE...AND LEFT HIS ROPE BEHIND.

NEED NEW SPARK PLUGS? HERE ARE A BUNCH OF FREE ONES (WHAT FUCKING MORON DRAGGED HIS ENGINE DOWN TO THE BEACH AND LEFT IT THERE?).
