Project 366

A project I undertook in 2012 to share one photograph I took each day of that leap year. The subjects are diverse and show the development of my own photographic skills as I learned how to use my camera and compose photographs as I wanted them to be seen and enjoyed.

Steven Perched on the Edge of Crystal Falls

Along the top of Crystal falls is a short ledge of rock. Here you see +Steven Kennard perched precariously, probably taking the photograph you see in this posting :  https://plus.google.com/u/0/104584322313471697637/posts/Uz4YGUc2qs7

Taking one step backward would have had disastrous results. From where I was it seemed as if he was standing on the edge of the world.

We are having the visit of a dear friend (from my school days, not very long ago….) and so are having fun walking around and finding things to photograph. At least we did last night and found these free range piglets.

He has his eye on YOU !

Thanks to our dear Farm Girl Friday  +Sofie Løve Forsberg who is taking charge of the farm while we are having fun this week. We couldn't leave you without a submission, though Sofie!

Canning, Nova Scotia, Seen From the Banks of the Habitant River

Posted by Ellie

In album Weekly Photo Project 2013

My (Current) HomeTown. Can you imagine this as being a busy shipbuilding hub? The river you see here was the site of a major shipyard. The wikipedia entry describes the town as "much diminished in importance in recent years". I suspect the writer was perfecting his use of understatement in that sentence.  As I was taking these photographs, there were birds walking on the green algae growth on the surface of the river. 

1866 July – Schooner Escape

"When fire swept Canning's main street in July 1866, a small schooner was under construction on the stocks in the Bigelow shipyard. The wooden ship was ready for launching except for her spars, rigging, and sails. As the fire drew near, Ebenezer Bigelow saw the tide was high, and made a snap decision to launch immediately. Quickly, a crowd of people clambered on the vessel's deck, seeking to escape the flames. Later, the vessel would be named Escape. In 1874 Escape's luck ran out. She was lost with all on board near Digby Gut, Nova Scotia.
