Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Filling the Frame
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Filling the Frame.
I had a few ideas for the challenge before thinking of filling the frame with just one thing.
Filling the frame with water at sunrise.
Filling the frame with snow.

Filling the frame with trees.
Cosmic Photo Challenge: A Vision of Tomorrow/Through the Eyes of Yesterday
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: A Vision of Tomorrow/Through the Eyes of Yesterday.
It’s well known that tomorrow never comes but winter will be arriving in Ontario at some point in the near future. So for the “through the eyes of yesterday” I went with a couple of photos from two years ago. Both were taken when it was still autumn but show what was and is coming.
Snow on autumn leaves.
Snow on the shoreline and ice forming on Colpoy’s Bay with snow falling over the mouth of the bay.

CFFC: Water
This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Water.
Living close to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada and having lived close to the Quill Lakes and Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan in the late 1990s I have rather a lot of photos featuring water to pick from.
So I had a ponder about the challenge and thought about the various states of water. So here is water in various states at different times of the year. All the shots are of Colpoy’s Bay, a bay on the much larger Georgian Bay and taken around sunrise.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Hill
This is my contribution to the Tuesday Photo Challenge – Hill.
There was an obvious choice for me, Bickerton Hill, Cheshire, England.
Bickerton Hill is a sandstone escarpment forming part of the Sandstone Trail and the southern end of the Mid Cheshire Ridge.
The hill has a long history with an Iron Age hill fort on top of part of it and other evidence of settlement in the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods.
Autumn colour on part of the hillside.
Snow on the Cheshire plain looking north west from the top of part of the hill.
Some autumn colour isolated with a telephoto lens from the top of the escarpment.
Tuesday Photo Challenge – Outdoors
This is my contribution to the Tuesday Photo Challenge: Outdoors.
As someone who is primarily an outdoor photographer I had plenty of photos to pick from but I needed a theme to follow. So I decided to go with as wide a variety of subject matter as possible and to start in the 1970s and end this summer.
One of my earliest photos. The negative for the first version got lost or damaged so I reshot the scene next time there was snow. Trees in snow, Hatherton, Cheshire, England in the mid 1970s.
Entering the start/finish straight at around midnight at the Le Mans 24 hour motorcycle endurance race. Le Mans, France in April 1982.
