Approach to the End

More apocalyptic imagery...ever wish you had actually gotten a shot and yet pretended ike you did even though you hadn't? Embarrassed I present you with my version of that scenario. I so wanted to have actually gotten this shot, but I didn't. It's shit. I'm so tired. Why did I post this?

UPDATE: thanks everyone. I guess I was pretty grouchy last night. I was referring to the resolution. The shot is badly motion-blurred if you look at larger sizes, which is why I didn't bother linking to them as I normally do. Thanks for being so generous to thhis shot that isn't quite there.

Was Explore #1n for a while. Seems to pop in and out of that position.

Vancouver Coal Harbor waterfront with Canada Place front and center.

LOL at your whiskey inspired planet of the apes moment :) i'm just the right age for that film (the original) to have a powerful visual resonance deep in my mind, i wondered how many others would be similarly afflicted

And i do relate to your description above, often, comes with the territory i'd say, we're always wanting to take the perfect shot, that's why we keep on keeping on
