Miscellaneous Martimes

Generally when i post photographs here they are connected to some particular theme or subject. It may be images from a certain field trip or specific to some thesis, body of work or examination of a certain visual idea. This hold true even when my photos are all from Nova Scotia. Like anywhere there are many different facets to be found in this gem of a land, their only relation being that they are all part of this jewel called Nova Scotia. After posting more thematically focussed entries i am always left with a good number of individual images that didn't quite fit in with may more categorical posts. So today i present a collection of relatively unrelated images of this maritime paradise. I hope you enjoy them.

On a warm and sunny summer afternoon Lunenburg, Nova Scotia can be a vision of eye-popping postcard color. There is little one can do, but succumb to this palette of bold and brilliant primary and secondary hues.

When the Gentle Snow Falls...

Yes, it was a balmy 70 degrees on Christmas day even in the north lands of Nova Scotia, but 4 days later winter adjusted herself (as is her right) and we had a lovely storm that dropped about 8 inches of snow on us. I love the way snow transforms the landscape, shifting and drifting as it piles up, changing shapes and lines by want of the wind and accenting edges of objects with rims of pure whiteness. It's also an exhilarating rush to get out in the midst of the storm as it is blowing, even if it doesn't exactly make our electronic cameras very happy.

Jewels in a Winter Garden

 It is indeed strange to travel north to Nova Scotia for the winter holidays and find it a balmy 70 degrees on sunny Christmas day. The seasons are changing, shifting, in flux, and i'm finding that even traveling to Canada at this time is no guarantee of a White Christmas. Global Climate Change has confused the hell out of our plant friends, seriously messing with their growth cycles. Still, the flowers of summer are gone by now though i have always found what takes the place of that showy beauty no less photogenic than even the most colorful of blooms. Of course, within a couple of days the temperature had dropped well below freezing and before the new year there was about 8 inches of snow on the ground. If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes. It was like watching an entire season pass in just a couple of day creating somewhat different framing each day as i approached these jewels of a winter garden.
