Here is the same subject shot differently, this time in black & white mode.

Here is the last of this sumac tryptich. Up close the sumac burned with an inner glow and was dusted with diamond snow. I'm not sure I captured that f (...)

I suppose I could have lightened the last image to make the snow look pristine white but I would have lost the sumac colour. Besides, it was a dull da (...)

The end of the trail came sooner than expected. I stood at the gate looking around. I liked the way the snowflakes decorated the top of this fence pos (...)

I then decided to examine the fence a little closer. I was thinking in black & white and watching for the shape of things to come. I ended up with thi (...)

Ouch! That last image looks darker than I wanted. I hope your monitor shows it better than the one I'm presently using. With the trail ended I'm headi (...)

When photographing in a certain mode (Black & WHite or Sepia) one should always expect the unexpected. The unexpected showed up as this abandoned hat (...)

Crows are notoriously difficult to photograph. They like to land behind you and caw with laughter. I suspected these ones were luring me in and would (...)

I left the Bruce Pit wondering where to go next. I'll just post the images rather than give a travelogue. Those who know Ottawa will figure it out. I (...)

A dull day usually comes along with light snow and mild temperatures. Here the ice had engulfed this link fence in interesting ways.

Another look at the grip of ice on the link fence. Global warming anyone?

Around the corner from the ice fence ... a massive ice formation on an abandoned dock.

Trudging along the road I came across this gangsta graffiti half buried in the snow. I struggled to find a decent perspective. The road was a distract (...)

We are now deep into the cityscape yet the past is still around for those who can see it.

As an artiste I don't have to explain my work. It's an abstract. Deal with it.

Deal with this too. A giant piece of bronze posing as art and fully funded by your tax dollars. This thing does resonate with the architecture of the (...)

I turned my back on the waste of bronze, much prefering to look at the derelict building across the street. New isn't always better.

As I mentioned earlier the bronze piece did echo the nature of the buildings around it. This view confirms it. That isn't fog, by the way. It's steam (...)

Coming to a theatre near you ... Night Of The Living Bloc ... OK, this is an in-joke for the Ottawa crowd. I was paying with the post-image settings w (...)

Governments are notorious for having limited vision. This may explain why.
