Dusk at Balmy Beach is my favorite. Love the soft glow it gives.

 

[Derrel]

Very good and interesting pictures!

Yes, you are blessed since you were able to create these photographs. (And you live in Canada where there's lots of hockey says the hockey fan!)

I particularly like the one in B&W, it looks miniature in size. Stunning series.

It's been mind numbing cold here in Toronto for the last couple weeks, as it has elsewhere. Truth be told I absolutely LOVE when it gets incredibly cold because of the image opportunities it creates. Though I live in a metropolis of 6+ million people, I live walking distance from the shores of one of the Great Lakes which is wondrously transformed when it gets ravaged by Ole Man Winter. Here is a sample of a few of the images I've taken while wearing 2 pairs of sock, long johns and two winter coats.

Stay warm my friends. Pray for more chilling temperatures and embrace winter!

Thanks for the kind words....weather was fiercely cold for another week until sniff sniff... it warmed up. Above freezing the last couple days.

MY WORLD IS MELTING!!

Love your work. I live near Lake Ontario on the US side. I am kicking myself because all the snowstorms and really cold mornings occurred when I had to rush to work or were otherwise busy! Or some other excuse. Lol. Not that anything I took would be as great as yours.

Still freezing cold this weekend but weekday warm snap melted my glacier - still managed to get these before the melt
