My wife and I have owned a house in Nova Scotia since 2005 and I have had the chance to explore most all of the province as well as the rest of the maritimes. I love capturing the landscape of the maritimes as well as the people and culture that exists there. This photo was made at 5 Islands in Nova Scotia on the Bay of Fundy, which has the highest tides in the world. Although this bay is empty at the time of this image, a few hours later it was under several feet of water again. In some areas of the Bay of Fundy, the tides exceed 40 feet!

One of the most popular places in the Page, AZ area is Antelope Canyon. It is a canyon made by millions of years of weather and water cutting a path through the sandstone. To say it's beautiful down there is an understatement. The possibilities for abstract are pretty much endless. The canyon is on the Navajo reservation and is run by two native families. The upper canyon is pretty crowded, but bigger. The lower canyon is more cramped, but also a bit less busy. They run tours on the half hour, but if you bring a tripod, they also allow you into the canyon on your own with a time limit. This is the way to do it! Antelope Canyon is also a place where shooting at high noon is actually beneficial as at this time, the light comes through the narrow openings and finds it's way down to the canyon floor, lighting the beautiful sandstone walls on it's way.

The photo below is one of the hundreds that I made in Sedona, Arizona in 2011. This image is a 20 second exposure made well after sundown in Red Rock State Park. Cathedral Rock is one of the most photographed rock formations in Sedona. It's visible from many locations in and around town and looks a little different depending on your angle and location. This particular evening, we had to compete with several other photographers for a place to shoot from.

The New Year has just turned as I'm writing this, 2016 is over and many are glad of it. For some reason, we tend to associate a year with events that happen, especially the bad ones. We had a lot of celebrity deaths in 2016, but was it the year? Not at all, it's just that we seemed to not even be able to digest one before the next one was reported it seemed. I grew up as a huge music fan and for me, most of the people I listened to now find themselves in about the same age range, I've been saying for a long time that when they start to go, there might just be a wave of them.....2016 saw that start to happen.
We didn't have our planned New Year's Eve fireworks tonight due to weather conditions, but this is a shot made Canada Day of 2015. Hope you like it. I have published a couple from this night before, but this is a completely new one.

I'm a day late, this is usually up on Sunday, but yesterday being Christmas, I never went near my computer all day. I took a workshop with a friend awhile back and she has been encouraging me to make panoramas more often. I have been experimenting a bit here and there. This is one that I made at RMC looking back toward Kingston. I mostly think Kingston has a little boring cityscape as we have few tall buildings at the waterfront to create architectural interest. In the case of a pano, you can bring some interest to it I think. Thia particular image, at full size would be 68.5 inches long!
