Last week I did a little storm chasing but never got lucky. I'm still waiting to catch a good lightning photo. I came across this spot that I've shot before, and while there wasn't any lightning there was plenty of good light.

Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #26

This weeks photo is one of the last ones I shot in Tobermory. I shot many of our dock on Lake Huron. This was quite late in the sunset, and I used a small flashlight to light up the foreground.

One day during our time in Tobermory, Laura and I did a little exploring to some abandoned places on the Peninsula that I found on the internet. This is the stairs at a tiny old schoolhouse.


A typical night for us at the cottage, drinks by the fire until the howl of coyotes in the bushes at midnight sends us back indoors. Me on the right, Laura on the left. My sister and Rob behind Laura.


Anyone who's been to the area is no stranger to bratty Red Squirrels.

So, I'm a week late but I have a good reason. I spent the last week in Tobermory gathering photos (1245 to be specific). I spent a good hour last monday trying to post these photos from my girlfriend's iPhone but I couldn't get it to work and decided to give up and enjoy the campfire on the lake.

The first photo is from one of my nightly sunset photo sessions along the water behind the cottage we rented. We didn't get any really stunning sunsets but they were decent at least.



This is a photo of our cottage from the view of our campfire on the lake with the full moon rising. I had already brought my camera gear back to the cottage for some reason and rather then walk a few feet to retrieve it, I used my girlfriend Laura's Camera. I also lit the trees up with a hefty flashlight.


I also have a couple panoramas from Bruce Peninsula National Park. This first is from my favourite little overhang tucked in the trees away from the rest of the tourists that I like to hide in for some peace. This is the same location as my cliche feet-hanging-over-the-edge photo that I've shot on a few separate occasions.


Finally, here is a panorama of the outside of the grotto. Surprisingly there was no one else here at the time. Usually this time of year its packed with at least a class worth of kids on a school trip. Stay tuned later for THIS weeks post. I just need to make a few last edits.

My girlfriend and I went to explore some of the abandoned houses off Huron Church Line here in Windsor last week and managed to find one that was open. This is the upstairs bathroom.
