v. intransitif:  retourner au lieu d’ù l'on était parti
(to return: Return to the place we had left, to revisit)
Welcome... make yourself comfortable. This site is a simple collection of images captured throughout the course of my various walkabouts. I'd be deeply honored if you would leave comments or impressions on any pages that inspire you.

My hope is that I provide you with an opportunity to share in the beauty of a few of the magnificent places I've had the amazing fortune to experience.

More often than not, the most healing images are derived from and reflect remote, inaccessible, and wild places: literally a world apart from the destructive influence of the dominant culture. Our survival depends upon remembering our interdependence with nature, and not in the delusion that we are superior to or separate from it.



This site provides not only RSS and Atom feeds, but also an RSS Media feed, perfect for taking advantage of the Cooliris media viewer addon. If you don't have this installed, visit the Cooliris site. If you prefer not to install anything, you can also simply use the slideshow links on the image and catalogue pages for a online "lite" version. However, the full Cooliris experience is the best way to view the images.

You're welcome to use any of the images here under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License. If you'd like even larger versions than found here, send me an email at revenir@myprivacy.ca: it would be my pleasure to share the images with you.

In creating this site, I'm grateful to a variety of people, a few of whom are listed here:

· The folks at Pixelpost, creators of one of the best photo blogging tools around.
· The developers at jQuery, and Google.

A properly adjusted monitor can make a significant difference in the perceived quality of the images viewed. You should be able to distinguish each tone in the following image, particularly at the ends of the scale. Generally, you should increase the contrast to the maximum, and then vary the brightness accordingly.
