A reminder to members of City Daily Photo: the theme for November 1st is Out Of Focus. And a suggestion for the December theme day, what with that being Transition, if you've still got fall colours around, photograph a grove of trees now, and then a month from now. I've already selected the subject of the last shots for today as my take for that second theme day.
The sun's getting up later these days, so I'm able to photograph around dawn. I crossed Bronson Avenue, here where the Rideau Canal widens into Dow's Lake, early one September morning, photographing west into the lake, and then east over the Canal.
On another day, further east, I crossed the Bank Street Bridge late in the afternoon and liked the interplay of sunlight and clouds over the Canal. Both versions seemed to appeal to me.
Beautiful water! And your skies look spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the scene in a fabulous way! I love them all.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are noticed they are of a professional, are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteTomás.

ReplyDeleteWhat a calm, tranquil contrast to the photos of the last few days.
ReplyDeleteSo peaceful!

ReplyDeleteGlorious morning shots, William. Love that sun sparking up the sky...and the glass-like surface of the water...very beautiful, all of it!
ReplyDeleteNice shot with clear sky and vapor trails crossing one another. It's awfully dark here when I get up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty skies!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sunrise shots! I love the tint in the sky.
ReplyDelete@Karl: they were.
ReplyDelete@Lowell: it was a calm morning. Even a bit of fog on the water.
@Red: It's getting up well past seven this morning. Today though I have no idea when it was up- we've got overcast conditions.
@Halcyon: they certainly were.
@Sharon: so do I.
Lovely shots, William. I particularly like the sun on photos 4 and 5.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! That is one good thing about the later start to the day that we can get out and take sunrise photos. lol
ReplyDeleteThese convey such a feeling of serenity....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous series, William!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely shots, William!
ReplyDelete@Mike: it's always a good idea to have a camera along- otherwise that sky would be a distant memory.
ReplyDelete@Pamela: I certainly would not be taking sunrise shots in late June!
@Norma: they do, yes.
@Linda: thank you!
@Mo: thanks!
@RedPat: I thought so too.

ReplyDeleteI easpecially like the last shot.
ReplyDeleteThese are very cool. I love when the light is just so. Makes for fun shots.

I liked the cross star effect in the last photos. Soon enough we will be seeing skaters on the frozen canal, but for now it really looks fall-like.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteBoth versions are wonderful. I especially like those last two shots. The water in all of them looks so glasslike and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, great shots.
ReplyDeleteThe wataer is so dark!
