Well deserved, but won't replace the hole in our collective hearts. :(

Paralympic hopeful Andy Wigren getting pretty good at operating with two sticks.

NU playing in doubles. With bow numbers!

I've definitely seen worse timing in an eight. Well played HVL.

So many Twists, so little time.

Molly, bending some oars.

Launching at sunrise, because sunrise is at 7 now.

A stack of CBC juniors

Local wildlife from the back porch

John heading back to UBC at sunrise.

Racing the Head of the Kurmakov today.

Sean's tribute to Nik.

Close up.

Fishing Friday?

Thank you to whoever did this.

I can't believe Nikolay's gone. Just doesn't seem real. We were just talking on the dock last week about how his grandkids were doing, and how Paul was doing, and what parts of Kiev one should visit if one were to go there. Rower, sculler, coach, and friend to all. You will be dearly missed. Rest in peace.

Amel, getting a moonlight row in.

Close up of the moon at 1120mm (first photo was at 100mm).

Moonlight rowing from Eliot

CBC Juniors on Saturday morning

Longfellow Bridge, time warp, what's the difference?

For the rare photogeek in the audience, check out the EXIF information on this one. Pretty fun way to shoot all the way down the power house stretch with 1120mm..

Meanwhile, Alexis had to work late, so I got the early shift. Nice to see the sun warm up the eastern sky (I was in my car by the time it rose, heading home).

On Wednesdays, we go through Weeks. In ghost mode.

Heard the flapping of the wings, got the camera out just in time.

After a week of no sleep, nothing shakes out the cobwebs like a 1x7K. Good to be back with the group.

Special shout out to the newest RBC members not afraid to throw down in Peinerts. And going pretty damn fast doing it, too. Welcome, Hannah and Tony.

Trying some different. A view from inside Weeks Foot Bridge during HOK 2.

Greg goes sub 18, Gevvie goes sub 18:30, John is 7.4 seconds away from a 16:xx, and Mary went sub 19, no mean feat for a lightweight woman.

Just a sculler in the power house.

Matt and John head into the mists.

CRI sharks

Kevin back to his old tricks of training as the sun goes down.

First and probably only Charles sunset this summer.

Passing under Longfellow, on a particularly calm morning. Interesting to see the changes in the exposure as I pass under the bridge.

Matt O'Leary, the human onion.

Stopped by the office.

Frank and Jeff in the basin.

Starting sequence for the Womens+Masters SDR heats, and a finish sequence from the men.

Great performances from Gevvie and Alex K in winning the SDR finals. You can see Matt and Alex T watching the final in the background.

Hash dropped by in between the semis to entertain me.
