This is my contribution for day 22 of Becky’s October Squares: Lines photo challenge.
Lines in the fossil of a seashell. Found and photographed on the South Bruce Peninsula, hundreds of miles from the nearest salt water.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Pick a Place
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Pick a Place.
Having moved around the U.K. and Canada over the decades I had quite a few ideas for the challenge. It was my recent One Word Sunday: Luck that made me think of the summer of 1985.
I spent part of that summer living in southern Ontario. All the photos are from that summer.

Luck
I had a few ideas for the One Word Sunday challenge Luck.
Some lucky wildlife encounters, some lucky weather conditions. Then I remembered this shot. Taken in the late summer of 1985 after spending part of the summer in southern Ontario shooting wildlife, landscape and travel photos for photo libraries.
I wasn’t expecting anything of this shot, or the others from the evening. I was simply using up the roll of Kodachrome in the camera prior to taking all my exposed film to the Kodachrome lab in Toronto the next day. In the end it was included in a set of shots in a photography magazine that published a portfolio of my work a couple of years later.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Sculpture
This is my contribution to the Tuesday Photo Challenge – Sculpture.
I gave the challenge a sideways look and decided to go with a natural sculpture and a manmade sculpture that wasn’t planned as a sculpture.

Fossil of a Seashell
The new Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is Something Different.
I thought this photo of a seashell fossil was different. It’s probably millions of years old but resembles some of the seashells I picked up along the North Wales coast as a child. It was photographed in Ontario, Canada, now hundreds of miles from the nearest salt water.

I spent part of the summer of 1985 in Ontario, Canada shooting stock for a couple of photo libraries. So Throwback Thursday takes me back 33 years. In a strange coincidence, having moved around Britain and Canada in the intervening years I currently live about 20 minutes from where the photo was taken.
