RAINY DAY, OTTAWA

It has been a few days since posting a new picture. This image Took on my mobile phone when we went downtown trying to get into a parking garage. Yes this time the picture was quite abstract. The raindrops on the window and the strong colours created a quite good composition of a dark, rainy day atmosphere.
 

MAIN STREET CAFE, STITTSVILLE

 

Friday morning we had to go for some errants in Stittsville. I did not have a camera with me, but of course I did have my phone. So when we went for a quick lunch at the Main Street Cafe I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures. It simply is a habit of me to always take at least some pictures. 

Changing environment is not that easy. We miss our longtime friends and our familiar milieu. Of course the positive aspect of the move is that I now have will find new subjects for my photography, which I am certain will result in a new way of seeing your surrounding environment. So lets see how my pictures will change. 

SPRING REFLECTION

 

Spring has definitely arrived. Yes the last two days were grey and wet days, feeling more like early Fall days. But we had some nice beautiful Spring days. Time to wander around looking for fine photo subjects. This image is more reminiscent of a impressionistic painting. It is a picture without strong subjects but rich in textures and irregular patterns. Your eyes wander first to the iregular pattern of the leaves then you see the strong shape of the the maple tree reflection in the water. 

In the next few days I will explain why I always or nearly always post only one image per day.

SPRING, LAKE NIPISSING

 Today's picture is a nostalgia image of Lake Nipissing. It is a visual remembrance of our life in North Bay. Yes we absolutely miss this truly beautiful lake and of course I will post memories of our wonderful time in North Bay.

ABSTRACT

 

Last month we visited the Ottawa City Gallery. Surprisingly we had never visited this gallery before and for us it was a great belated first visit. There were some very interested exhibition. Of course I couldn’t resist taking pictures. This was one of the more successful images. It is a picture which Andreas Feininger would identify having strong “stopping power”. The image has, beside the vivid colours, a. strong graphic power vibrating across the surface of the picture.
