OLD CAR, NORTH BAY


Walking around a downtown neighborhood I photographed this old car quietly getting "older" in a driveway.

BILLBOARD, NORTH BAY


This picture is for Dave Brown, who is leaving North Bay. He will be missed because he is a very good photographer. So enjoy yourself in Windsor Dave and keep on taking pictures.What interests me here is texture and colour. The strong red is what draws my attention to this image.

TREE, LAKE NIPISSING


Thanks André and Carole for your comments on my pictures. Here is another image of Lake Nipissing. I reduced the picture to the minimum of elements,sky, water and tree. Hope you like the effect.

GOVERNMENT DOCK, NORTH BAY


Again time to post a picture. I have been busy with other projects lately so I have neglected my blog. Here is an image I took a few days ago of the government dock here in North Bay.

ANOTHER VIEW, PORT DOVER


This is a general view of the abandoned building André. As you can see it is totally hidden by vegetation. At one time the building must have been in use because the glass door looks quite recent but now it is in a poor state. Just as you said its a pity.

ABANDONED BUILDING, PORT DOVER


Time to post again. Last Tuesday we visited Port Dover, a small town on the shores of Lake Erie in Ontario, where I saw this abandoned building at the local cemetery. It was totally overgrown and crumbling. It just was sad to see this nice piece of architecture so neglected.

TRANSFORMATION, TORONTO


as I mentioned earlier I look at cities as a ever changing art gallery. I am attracted to subject matter which reflect my enjoyment of art, which translates into images like this wall in an ally in downtown Toronto.

WALKWAY NATIONAL GALLERY


When visiting Ottawa I always visit the National Gallery. It is not just for the exhibits, which are always terrific, but also just the pure pleasure of the architecture.

WHITE FENCE, OTTAWA


Lately I have concentrated more on the urban rather than the natural landscapes. I am interested in city landscapes because of the different visual,social and historical importance of cities.

CLOUD, OTTAWA


I just returned from a family visit in Ottawa. This picture is one of the very few images I had time to make. Of course I am planning to go back and explore some interesting areas in the city. I did enjoy this picture of a painted "cloud" on a wall.
