This week Lucia and I are on vacation/ working in Canada, on Prince Edward Island.  This is our third trip here in the last couple of years, and I’m once again overwhelmed at how beautiful everything is here.  In the distance is part of the confederation trail, a network of maintained bike paths hundreds of miles long,... [Click here to read the story and see all the images]

On Prince Edward Island in Canada, there is a network of bike trails hundreds of miles long, perfectly manicured paths meandering through beautiful countrysides, and almost completely untraveled and open.  On a three hour ride, it wouldn’t be at all unusual to pass less than ten other people enjoying the trails.  There... [Click here to read the story and see all the images]

This is the same bridge as yesterday’s post, but with the view of the traveller, showing the expectation as one crests a footbridge, and the really interesting light that falls onto the beams. The day after I shot this, I saw a workman removing and replacing the first two beams at the bottom here (evidently, they were... [Click here to read the story and see all the images]

St. Peters Bay is known for the mussels that are raised in the harbor, and is an entry point to the Points East loop of Prince Edward Island. Here’s another example of a multi-exposure image and the fun, painted look it gives a photograph.  With a standard, single exposure the shadows below and on the bridge would be... [Click here to read the story and see all the images]

Here’s a different angle of the same harbor, and I like the colors in this image much more than yesterday’s image.  Click here to see all the images →

On the North side of P.E.I. is a fishing village, Montesque, that could be anywhere in Maine, except for the brightly colored paint scheme, and the low rental prices.  Slip rates for boats in this harbor were $15 a week, or $50 for the whole season!!!!  Click here to see all the images →
