October Squares: Red Lines in the Sky
This is my contribution to day 31 of Becky’s October Squares: Lines photo challenge. The final day of the challenge so a sunset seemed appropriate.
A big thanks to Becky for another interesting and entertaining Squares challenge.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Layered
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Layered.
My initial idea was a post about the layers of rock that forms the Niagara Escarpment.
Then I thought about some of the photos of layered clouds and changed direction.
Layered clouds over Chantry Island and its lighthouse on Lake Huron, Ontario in the winter.
Layered clouds over Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment, Ontario at sunrise in the summer.

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.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Seascapes and/or Lakeshore
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Seascapes and/or Lakeshore.
Having been living close to various lakes since settling in Canada in the late 1990s I had rather a lot of lakeshore options for this challenge.
So I decided to go with a selection of shots of the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada. I lived a few blocks from the lakeshore for a few years in the 2000s which means that the photos are a mix of film and digital.
