I’ve always loved the symmetry of electrical wires and the way they look against the sky. There’s something about the negative space that draws me in, every time. Here, I was drawn to the stark contrast of the hazy sky against the shadowed wires.

Looking at the waves in these photographs, one can easily deduce that this was a very, very windy day. And when wind shows up in winter, so does the cold. But I braved through it as I thought the clear ice scattered along the shore was absolutely stunning. Paired with the turbulent turquoise waters, it made for a gorgeous scene.

My first photos of 2022! On New Year’s Day, we decided to go down to Ashbridge’s Bay by the lake for some fresh air. Even though it was very cloudy that day, the water was so turquoise! I was anticipating murky grey or blue water to match the sky but the lake looked beautiful that day. It reminded me of Navy Pier from our trip to Chicago a few years back. Had the lake been its usual cloudy day colour, I don’t think I would have enjoyed taking these photos as much.

A cloudy day spent at Jack Darling Memorial Park. Even though it was cloudy and a little hazy, I’m pleased with how these photos came out. Personally, I think sunny days are usually boring and unflattering in regards to outdoor photography so I love taking photos when it’s cloudy. I’m looking forward to hopefully visiting this park again once the leaves start to change colour.

Rouge River has quickly become one of my favourite places for photography. This was my first visit during summer and I was interested to see what I would be able to photograph. All my previous visits have been during the fall to capture the leaves changing colour so I was glad to be getting a different perspective to the area.
Right from the get-go, what captivated me were all the lily pads! It was so surreal seeing that many all at once. When I first saw them at a distance, I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at. I thought maybe they were overgrown plants that had somehow managed to grow above the water. Judging by the reactions of other people there, I wasn’t alone in my captivation and wonder.
These were also taken when the skies were particularly hazy. In my opinion, this contributed to the landscape looking even more ethereal. The lighting was so soft and there was light layer of fog by the horizon in the distance. Even with a cloudy sky, the sunlight still shone through and bathed everything in a beautiful golden light at times.
I’m very pleased I got to experience a scene like this with my own two eyes and I’m thankful I was able to take photos of it as well. I hope to eventually visit during winter, too.
