Marshall Point Lighthouse, Port Clyde, Maine - Christmas 2016

, , ,

Welcome back to my blog!   I haven't done any landscape photos this past week.. it happens.   A mini "dry spell" is all it is. 

This is a photo which I took last year almost to the day.  It has a somber but romantic, thoughtful atmosphere.   When you look at the girl walking, you imagine she is being quietly reflective as she walks.  She is soaking up the environment, the sounds of the water and the wind. Maybe she is thinking about her family, or her future. I imagine she feels good inside, and she realizes that her life is stable and blessed.  Even the color and style of her clothing matches that of the environment.  Although the scene is dull and cold, the lighthouse symbolized hope and light, and the wreath a quiet expression of Christmas.

It's been a pleasure sharing this with you

Throwback Friday... a photo from my files

, ,

Hello my dear viewer!

I want to share with you one of my favourite photos from my files.

This is from a Mennonite area of Waterloo region, just south of highway 86 if my memory is correct.   I was driving back from a real estate shoot and noticed this scene.   It was in September (2017) and the some of the fields had this lovely chocolate brown crop (dried I suppose).  Interspersed was this fluffy white flower.   It really caught my eye!

I edited the photo with even more brown tones to bring out what I saw.

This would be a great piece of wall art for your dining room or hallway.   This could be printed on paper, wood or metal.  A spotlight on the photo would also bring out the white flowers.

Enjoy!

Wellesley, Ontario

, , , ,

Hello again! Here is an image which I took earlier this month – and forgot about posting it.

This was taken in an area of Wellesley, Ontario which was just off the highway, adjoining the river.   I’m sure I and many other people have driven past it before without noticing.   I mean basically this is a "swamp" or flood plain - what have you.  Roadside empty land.   For some reason I felt compelled to get out of my car and do photos that day.  I saw something in it.   The line of trees, the water, the stormy sky.   When the sun came out - CLICK - I nailed it.

 

Just for fun, I created a view of what it would look like in a home, hung over the fireplace:

I also converted the image to black and white....  lots of fun.  Not sure which I prefer?

I have to say the great thing about looking at winter photos is we can stay snug and warm while we view them ))))) 

Have a wonderful day
