Inspiration of the Week - 20081019

Whew … what a week. Thankfully I did end up processing all the photographs from my recent trip to Colorado. But one photograph has kept me inspired throughout a challenging week sans the Canadian election. I guess it reminded me of the challenge I quite enjoyed as I hiked up the Great Sand Dunes. When I arrived, it wasn’t hot — actually there was quite the cool breeze however hiking on sand was a very different experience. There were times when I thought I’d slip and roll down the sand dune… which could be fun in some sense although I wasn’t intending on trying it out…

There were two kids up ahead who didn’t have any water whatsoever. I did end up providing some water to them but I hope they reached the peak — they were certainly determined to :)

Leaping Through Time

No, not quite Quantum Leap although I did love that show.  I normally don’t tend to comment on adaptations of novels but this was quite different because it was not only turned into film, but also a live television series, Manga and anime.  I just so happened to stumble across it while flipping through my RSS feeds.

Interesting trailer although it really doesn’t give me much to work with.  Technically the anime film is two years old but since it took a year for it to migrate over to North America, it’s really only one year.

I’d recommend anyone interested in reading about the history of the novel, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki o Kakeru Shōjo) to check out the article on Wikipedia but beware of spoilers…

In the meanwhile, stop and view the trailer.

What’s most interesting about all of this was how I stumbled across this.  I wasn’t even looking for it.  More on that later.

An Earthbound Update

I just ran across Earthbound Magazine, and I noticed a photograph of mine was being used (they asked for permission).  Surf on over and check out their latest November/December issue.

Are you able to figure out where the photograph was taken?
