Feeling the end of summer these days is rough, but here’s an opportunity to hang onto some of its delights: share a Thousand Islands excursion with Esther and me, illustrated by some beautiful low-altitude aerial photographs.
This mid-August trip took us to wonderful locations east of our usual haunts.
Read MoreIt’s a delight to be back in the Thousand Islands this summer, on our boat Second Wind.
I revel in the beauty of the islands and the waters between. The ever-changing skies. The herons, hawks, and gulls. Early morning swims and dining al fresco. Esther and I call it our paradise.
Read MoreThere’s a fascinating aura to winter waterfalls. All that liquid transformed into towering, spectacular, hard white columns of ice.
At Albion Falls, the waters of Red Hill Creek cascade down for 19 metres, before meandering to Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario.
Read MoreWinter drone images will often set our minds a-puzzling, inviting us to wonder, what exactly am I looking at? The abstract images of the ice on Grenadier Pond raise more questions than they answer.
Read MoreWarming cold winter days with memories of late summer, here are photographs of the trip home from The Thousand Islands. Enjoy some warm aerial images of Waupoos, Grassy Point, High Bluff Island, and Cobourg.
Read MoreTwo fine anchorages in The Thousand Islands: one a familiar locale, the other new to us. A good anchorage attracts many boats and makes for beautiful aerial photographs.
Read MoreI’ve been looking forward to shooting a second series of aerial photographs with George Caesar, a close friend and extraordinary canoeist, near the high sand cliffs of Scarborough Bluffs.
The day started out really well. George launched his canoe and helped his canine friends climb on board. They were eager, I was eager, and the winds were calm. The drone took off flawlessly.
So what could possibly go wrong? You’ll see….
Read MoreCobourg is a healthy small town, with lovely scenery, a vibrant downtown, and good restaurants!
Flying the drone there, over a couple of days in September, I was able to photograph some of its special waterfront features.
Read MoreIndividual features of the landscape, when viewed from a height, often turn out to be less visually interesting than the remarkable patterns they contribute to.
These images, photographed in winter at various altitudes, remind me of the unique ability of shapes and patterns to please the eye and tease the imagination.
Read MoreTo capture an image of a boat in full sail is challenging at the best of times. But to fly the drone at the same time from on board the sailboat, is even more of a challenge.
Read MoreThe foggy finger pointed inland across the Rattray Marsh until it dispersed in warming temperatures. Our two visits drew several intriguing contrasts.
Read MoreThe Humber River in winter bisects the urban landscape, with gala, random forest on one bank, and a prim golf course on the other. Nearby, I discovered a voluptuous sports venue.
