Winter Roads

Posted by Ellie
 

I was having a chat with my friend +Alexa KH the other day and said that I was about to go out, though the visibility was poor because of the snow. I thought as I wasn't driving (!!) I would take the camera to show just what I meant by blowing snow on the roads. It wasn't actually snowing at that point (I don't think, it's not easy to tell sometimes) but the drifting snow makes it hard to see the edges of the road and builds up drifts that can go right across the road. You can see that the snow isn't even very deep. Ah, the joys of a Canadian winter! 🙂

Coastal Cliff Erosion Kingsport Beach

Posted by Ellie
 

This was taken on another late afternoon walk with Joni and Linda at low tide with a threatening sky framing the horizon. (It frequently seems to be threatening over Blomidon Cliff that you see in the distance…. or is it that I just like to take photographs when the sky is heavy with cloud??)

Storms will often leave a changed landscape and on the latest of those walks we could really see the difference in the formation of the sandy cliff walls and the trees that had fallen down the sides of the face. The light was just hitting the sand and the end of that spit of land.

In a Blaze of Glory

Posted by Ellie
 

Today I thought we could bravely face head on the blaze of colour in this sunset. This photo was taken from exactly the same spot as my photograph shared yesterday but that one was facing the gentler eastern sky. It is often the more striking and dramatic that instantly attracts our attention, while the soft and kind sits quietly just behind us. This more muted one is found in this post: https://plus.google.com/105804664540125819976/posts/bZZWRKiGAd2 .

I hope that your day passes in a blaze of fun and excitement with moments of moving and warm gentleness for comfort.

Look East

Posted by Ellie
 

We were near the end of a road trip, after driving through some heavy rains interspersed with dramatic bursts of light through the clouds.

As the sun began to set the sky was aflame with colour and drama. The intensity of the sunset was almost overwhelming and Steven stopped the car for me to dash out to the side of the road, dodging rain drops to try to find a decent foreground for some photographs. I took a few and then I looked behind, to the East. The pastoral scene, with the last of the autumn leaves at the bottom of a green stretch of grass and bounded by a field of ripened gold corn was a beautiful foreground to the more muted, but still beautiful reflection of the garish colours in the West.

I am in the mood for a more tasteful, gentle palette tonight and so am sharing the Eastern sky view. It also fits the +Farm Friday #farmfriday theme, curated by myself, +Steven Kennard, +Susanne Stelle and +Alessia De Bonis. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

This was taken on the same evening which, not long before produced this scene: https://plus.google.com/105804664540125819976/posts/cn1PfKbaXnq .
