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 crow flys through a November evening forest. Double exposure. November tree line. A vignette; November branches. A crow flys against a boreal tree line. Intentional camera motion. Double exposure. Soft focus and edit to evoke the cool quietness of the woodland.

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.

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.

A foggy street, downtown Ottawa. Leafless trees and unlit lamps line a shadowed, near-barren road. A single car approaches the foreground.

A steel bridge in a heavy fog. The mist obscures all but the foreground of the bridge and its girders.

Evening blown out reds, blacks and golds. An entranceway. A restaurant’s interior casts a hot glow into the street and the entrance windows cast a multitude of reflections including some of the curved architecture of the buildings opposite the restaurant.

An evening street scene. A cyclist speeds around a street corner. He’s dressed warmly for the wet evening and is silhouetted against the background street and traffic lights, all of which are reflected and glow on the wet pavement.

A cloud bank rolls into Ontario cottage country in the Rideau Lakes region. The massive formation blots out the light on the agitated river waters and dwarfs the opposite forested shoreline.

A lake before the season’s fist snow. Quiet readiness and anticipation. A distant band of shoreline is a dark horizon that splits the frame into the overcast sky and the mercurial rippled water that mirrors the sky’s play of light and shadow.

A vignette; a vine of yellow leaves, backlit and luminous, stretched along leafless roadside brambles. A soft focus late autumn field and bordering woodland is the tangle’s backdrop.
