The sun just breaking through the fog on the River Thames #landscape #scape #lamdscapephotography #photography #StunDay #Nikon #ThePhotoHour
A winter day with the early morning sun slowly breaking through the fog. The trees are bare there is a house in between the trees. The trees have no leaves in them and they are reflected on the river. The house is also reflected in the water

Summer memory
#sky #BlueSkyArtShow
An early evening view of the Ottawa River with soft focus and slight intentional camera movement to celebrate the pretty meadow. The sky is thick with clouds but the sun sits beneath them and shines on the visible sliver of river. A celebration of pastels.

A winter park. The park trees, leafless but for one small tree still adorned with burnt red leaves, stretch serenely into the mist. The curve of a road, a picnic table and a lamp post sit in silence with the trees.

A winter woodland scene. In the foreground, centre stage, the trunk of a majestic deciduous tree. One small coniferous tree lives in the background to the right and the rest of the woods are more leafless deciduous trees. All rest beneath a dusting of snow and embraced in the soft, cold air.

In the foreground are roadside grasses. Behind, obscured by the grasses, is a mowed field bordered at the horizon by a woodland. All is muted and dusted with snow.

A leafless elm stands naked and wild in a November field. Her bark is soft and silvery in the late day sun. A woodland traces the horizon.

A forest road in the early November evening. Shadowy and backlit; framed in the manner of an old snapshot.

A small fire burns in a stone fireplace, its flames and those of one small candle burning in an amber coloured glass votive, are the only light. A serene Buddha rests illuminated in the warm glow.

A vignette; dried marsh grasses and seed heads. Soft focussed and desaturated to evoke the quietness of the November pond.

Vignette: November pond. Dried marsh grasses, varied in height and shape but uniform in colour, cloister a small, frozen pond.

Constance Bay. An opposite shore bordered with leafless trees. Gatineau Hills and heavy blue clouds in the background. The horizon is rich with shadows and the shoreline basks in afternoon sun creating a lovely geometric contrast.

Road to the pond.
A gravel road passing through brush and disappearing into the horizon. The November afternoon light precedes an evening snowfall.

A late November boreal forest wrapped in frost and a dissipating mist. The warmth of the leafless trees and forest floor contrast against the dove grey sky and sparkling twigs.
