Past Squares #24

January Squares: Up #12

Star trails over Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario. I had gone down to the bay looking for Comet Neowise and set up the camera to record the star trails.

With looking for the comet I didn’t realise that the camera had recorded over a dozen meteors. I later learned that Earth was passing through three meteor showers at the time. The light along the shoreline are a vehicle on Mallory Beach Road.

A look back at some of my personal favorite square photos from previous months of squares. Some were popular, some not so popular at the time.

This was a post in Up Squares Month and is my day 24 contribution to Becky’s October Squares on the theme of Past Squares.

One Word Sunday

Mobile

I had a few ideas for Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Mobile prompt.

I forgot those ideas when I remembered that it’s the Le Mans 24 hour motorcycle endurance race in France this weekend.

So a trip to the archives for a photo of Team Bike entering the start/finish straight shortly before midnight during the 1982 Le Mans 24 hour motorcycle endurance race.

Month of Squares

Bright Night

This is my day 10 contribution to Becky’s April Squares on the theme of Bright.

I couldn’t resist the combination of bright and night.

Star trails over Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment with the lights of a vehicle driving along the shoreline road.

Lens-Artists

A Change of Scenery

This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: A Change of Scenery prompt.

I had a couple of ideas for the challenge but in the end decided to keep it simple and stay local. I decided to look back to last summer and autumn when some of the Covid-19 restrictions started being lifted and I could visit one of my sunrise locations again.

One of my first visits to Colpoy’s Bay for a sunrise after the restrictions were eased.

In July Comet Neowise was in the news. I made several attempts to see and photograph it. On one occasion I set up the camera to record star trails over Colpoy’s Bay while I looked for the comet.

Once the restrictions were eased a little and I could visit the bay I spent quite a bit of time photographing ripples on the water at sunrise. On this occasion a Common Loon swam into the section of ripples I was photographing and created a second set of ripples.

The autumn saw lots of storm clouds over the bay but I still went for the sunrise.
