EMMETT SPARLING 🌎 TRAVEL

Every year, millions of herring spawn around the islands near Vancouver. The spawning herring attract predators such as sea lions, eagles, gulls and orcas. It turns into a feeding frenzy as the fish play a crucial role in the ecosystem. During this spectacular natural event, I heard stories from locals who have been observing it for years. The herring spawn is in danger of collapsing as overfishing has been threatening their numbers year after year. This is also sadly one of the last places along the BC coast where commercial fishing still happens. I’ve photographed the spawn twice now. A few years ago from an underwater perspective, and this year from @johnkelseyphoto’s sailboat with @taylormichaelburk.

You’ve been to the holy trinity of konbinis, but have you been to these 3? Add 3 more convenience stores to your list before heading back to the hotel: NewDays, Ministop, and Daily Yamazaki 🏪 ps. loved seeing everyone’s version of this triptych on Japanese konbinis! 🥰 #tokyo #japan #コンビニ #samishomexjapan

Chasing moody scenes in the Pacific Northwest! With @chrishenry / “There is just something about a strong breeze, foggy mountains, and an incoming rainstorm that makes me want to grab my camera every time. In 2020, I took a solo camping road trip through the Pacific Northwest and captured every moody corridor of the region that I could. Two weeks under constant cloud cover provided all the scenes I could have ever asked for, and to this day, I still look at these photos with adoration. The weather patterns in the Pacific Northwest are influenced by the nearby Pacific Ocean and the region’s mountain ranges, resulting in a transition between the cooler, wetter months of winter and the warmer, drier months of summer during the spring and fall. This shift often leads to increased atmospheric instability, which can cause impressive cloud formations. For instance, during the spring, the region may experience a combination of cold air from the north and warm air from the south, while in the fall, there may be a higher occurrence of storms and frontal systems moving through, creating striking cloud patterns. One particularly moody feature of the region is its dense forests, which can create corridors of mist and fog that evoke a sense of mystery. In this case, forests are at their most atmospheric during the fall and winter months when cooler temperatures and increased precipitation can create a dense layer of mist and fog. Moreover, the region’s coastal temperate rainforests receive an average of 80-150 inches of rain per year, which exceeds that of most other temperate regions around the globe. Some of the best places to experience moody corridors include the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park, the Columbia River Gorge, and the coastal forests of Oregon. And one of the best ways to experience moody corridors is by looking for trails that wind through dense stands of trees, and keeping an eye out for the mist that often shrouds the landscape. But always remember to be aware of your surroundings and be prepared for changes in weather conditions!” 🌳🥾 @nomadict: Which forests would you propose visiting to complement @chrishenry’s advice?

Dream moments on the East coast of Greenland. We have a couple of last minute openings on our @stormexped sailing expedition this August in Scoresbysund, the biggest fjord system in the world! We’ll be spending a week sailing through some of the most jaw dropping and remote landscapes I’ve ever seen in the North. You can see all the details over on the @stormexped website for how to join us 🤙🏼
