I'm gettin' old and lazy. This is the first adbf where i totally skipped out on day1. oh well. I didn't even come for the AM of day2.

Parts 1 and 2 of 3:

(pt3 is just a bunch of photos from my backup camera so don't hold your breathe.)

some of my favs from pt1:

The flowers.


The Ben.


That is some serious red hair dye and a seriously cool green make-up job.


Hurray for Canadian broadcasting!!


Thumbs up to these folks from the air travel industry, living on the edge with super white uniforms in the super brown creek.


"Mush monkeys, mush!!"

some of my favs from pt2:

It's so excitingly close when you can see 5 and a half steersman in a tight shot like this. . . they must've been tempted to throw a little something at their neighbor, come on.


I bet he'd have no problems eating a Vera's in 2 bites.


"hee hee, i love brown wake, and loud screaming from the steers"


That was pretty sweet. I'm both impressed and disappointed there were no collisions at the finish.


Whoah ... even closer.


ewwww . . . so brown . . .

by default, photobucket does not affect the colors of your photos.
However, Photobucket does have an edit feature where you can manually adjust your colors, contrast, etc.
Nice pics!

...Speaking of brown waters, there's a picture of "Eye Of the Dragon" on page 4 of yesterday's 24Hrs magazine.  Looks like someone took a mouthful.  Unfortunately, he didn't (read: can't) see it coming. Sick

Who is that man?!?!?!!
 Razz
no pics will be sold by this man from Alcan as I was too busy (except for a few select photos) to take many pics
I will however be compiling and shooting for Water's edge this year so check www.canpaddle.com for more info
Check for a Whistler Photos post later today to see the "HAWT" action !
