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.

Friendly Friday: Abandoned.
This is my contribution to the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Abandoned.
The sun sets behind an abandoned building on Chantry Island just off the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada.
No one seems to know what the building was used for. One theory I read is that it was an ice house, used to store food when the lighthouse was tended by a keeper living on the island.
Although that theory makes me wonder why it was built so far from the lighthouse and keepers cottage.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Unique.
I had a few ideas for this Lens-Artists Photo Challenge which is Unique.
It was only when selecting photos for the challenge that it occurred to me just how many are unique. So I decided to restrict my selection to photos taken around the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada, because that was where the first two photos I selected were taken.
A unique mix of driftwood and pebbles on the Lake Huron shoreline at sunrise.
A unique mix of Canada Geese and clouds over Chantry Island at sunset.
A unique mix of ice and open water on Lake Huron at dusk in the spring.
A unique mix of sun and cloud over Chantry Island soon after sunrise.
A unique splash as a wave breaks over a rock.
