NEW APARTMENT, KANATA, ONTARIO

 Time to start posting again. We moved last Fall from North Bay, a small city in Northern Ontario,  to Kanata a suburb an satellite community of Ottawa. Adjusting to this totally new environment was quite an emotional disruption  to our lives and we are still trying to assimilate to our new suburban lifestyle. Of course I am slowly adjusting my photography to our new way of life. So yes I see my images change. Black and white is becoming more prominent in my photographs.  Getting more adapted to living to our suburban life I think I’ll see a new interesting style developing in my photography.

HAPPY EASTER

 

After many months of inactivity I thought it is time to reactivate my blog. Easter weekend looks like a good starting time, We have moved to Kanata and because all the snow has disappeared, it is also a celebration of the start of the Spring season. 

Remembering a series of Easter pictures,which I never exhibited or even printed, looking through my files and found these strange images. The pictures symbolize the modern commercial Easter holiday with just a trace of the true meaning of the Christian spiritual celebration.

So I wish all my friends a meaningful and very happy  Easter holiday.

REMEMBERING, THE BONFIELD TAVERN

 

The old Bonfield Tavern, yes I remembered this place when I was enjoying a local photo trip with my friends Bob and Rob. We stopped off here to enjoy a small lunch and a beer of course. This tavern was a typical country pub.It is a pity that so many of these rustic establishments have disappeared. 

SCRAP YARD, NORTH BAY

 

This old abandoned truck was left in a city scrap yard, which I wandered into by accidents when I was looking around for some interesting photo subjects. There were some other vehicles and an assortment of different rusting metal objects left in a city scrap yard. Nothing spectacular but enough for me to take some visually intriguing images.

A WORK OF ART

 

One of my neighbours bought this beautiful small car. What a great piece of automotive design. It is in excellent condition, even though it had been in a garage for over thirty years. It is a Sebring MX. I had never heard of this car, which looks like a classic British sports car. Manufactured in the US where it’s still being produced but now with an  electric motor according to the information I read on the Sebring owners club in the UK.
