OLD RAILWAY STATION, MATTAWA, ON

 On Monday John, Gerry and I visited Mattawa to take some pictures of the old railway station, or I should say the remnant of the old station. We were shocked to see the final state of this once busy station. It is sad to see how this building has been totally abandoned to the point that it would bestookt costly to restore. Thanks to neglect a community is losing one of its historic buildings.

FALL YELLOW

 

Fall has definitely arrived. The trees are turning rapidly to bright red and yellow. This picture of intense yellow coloured ragweed reminds me of some of Turner’s great landscape paintings.

FALL COLOURS

 

No black and white image this time, but a Fall colour image. Yes the trees starting their annual colour festival. Actually this picture was taken a few years ago when our friend Gerry took John, Dan and  myself on a little trip on the South River to take some pictures. The colours were spectacular. Sitting in the back of the boat I took a series of images of the boat’s wake which turned into some very nice abstract photo “paintings”.

CLOUDS AND WAVES, LAKE NIPISSING

 

Last Tuesday morning my young grandson Ewan invited me to go and take some pictures together. Of course I agreed and both of us went down to the lake. It was a gorgeous sunny day. It was the beginning of a great little photo trip and Ewan was enjoying himself taking pictures together with his grandfather. Both of us are looking forward to go on many future photo trips.

TEMBEC PAPER MILL, TIMISKAMING, PQ

 

This photo was made during a September trip to the village of Timiskaming in Quebec. It was a very early trip but well worth getting out of bed early. When my friend Dan and I arrived at the town the sun was just rising and the fog started to lift from the River. The clouds combined with the smoke from the mill made for very dramatic landscapes. Actually I think in another two weeks it might be worth another early morning visit.
