Frozen Landscape and a Glowing Horizon on January 16th, 2022.

A trio of another few of my favourite images. This frozen landscape felt so quiet and serene that I almost felt like an intruder being there. I found a spot to sit and observe the beauty around me since these aren’t sights you can experience year round. In the back of my mind, I was hoping be treated to a sunset but I didn’t want to ask for too much, either. Truthfully, with the current cloud cover, I wasn’t expecting a memorable sunset at all. But since I was already there, I figured might as well wait. Even if I got some blue hour photos, I wouldn’t have been disappointed. You won’t see it in these images but in the next just how vibrant the sunset turned out to be. The glowing horizon only added to this landscape but honestly, with ice textures like this, any time of day would yield beautiful results.

A cold winter day by a frozen Lake Ontario. I love the way winter and frigid weather can transform a landscape from something unassuming and typical to something mesmerizing.

A Frozen Landscape and Sunset on January 15th, 2022.

This just might be one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken. We found this secluded spot on a whim and I could not believe the views from here. Not only was everything beautifully frozen, but we had a nice view of the sky and sunset as well. There were tree branches everywhere and I thought they added some natural framing to the shot.

Most people would spend days like this indoors but many photographers love venturing out to see what frozen landscapes they can find. It was around -20°C on this day and I was for sure freezing my butt and fingers off. Even so, I enjoyed sitting on one of the rocks to relax and enjoy the view. If I listened closely, I could hear the sounds of ice cracking from one side of the shore to the other.

After taking a bunch of photos, I was reluctant to leave but it was very cold and the chill was starting to set in. I’m curious to see what this place looks like in the summer.

Frozen Winter on January 9th, 2022.

This spot has very quickly become one of my favourite photo taking spots. When we visited the day before, sand on the beach was still visible. There were a few branches by the shore that were covered in layers of ice, but as far as the landscape looking like a scene out of a winter wonderland, that wasn’t the case. I was in shock at how quickly everything froze over the next day. The water closest to the shore was frozen and just past that, small chunks of ice were floating in the water. If one listened closely, they would be able to hear the tinkling sounds of the ice pieces colliding with one another. The waves almost resembled slush as there was so much ice.

On the beach, there were thin shards of ice everywhere. It was so beautiful and I’ve never seen anything like it. The ice was so blue and so clear that if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought they were big pieces of beach glass.

A soft purple and pink sunset overlooking a snowy Cherry Beach. When the sky started to light up pink and purple, I was hoping for a more intense sunset as I really loved this landscape. I wanted a vibrant sky to be reflected in the calm water below. Alas, that didn’t happen but I’m still happy with how serene and peaceful this photo turned out.
