This is my first fall trip to Simcoe and I wanted to capture some of the color along with dusk.
Jocassee kayak trip

My good friend Bill and I went on a late summer kayak trip to the northern most tip of lake Jocassee. This man made lake seems very natural and full of wonders. Last year we saw a black bear on the shore while paddeling back.
Monticello and UVA

I always wanted to visit Monticello ever since I saw it on the back of the nickel. Jefferson has facinated me when I studied the Lewis and Clark expedition. I didn’t realize how much the third president has contributed to this country…good and bad. Monticello was a paradox in that it celebrated the rational and scientific man, but at the same time was run by slave labor. Jefferson ultimately fell on hard economic times and his entire estate was lost to bankruptcy. Along with his farm, Jefferson designed the University of Virginia campus and it is a true gem of neo classical architecture.
Ottawa in July

Ottawa is a nice blend of architecture, nature and size. It’s not a big imposing capital like Washington or London, but it’s not your typical bland non descript one as well. Parliment Hill is a hybrid of English and French style of neo gothic and normand influences. I usually attend the animation festival in October, but this year Ann and I went there in the summer.

ala Montreal

Montreal is a city within a city. You have very old right next to a modern urban center. Language aside, it is not unlike most major cities in North America. Unfortunately the only thing that is a real drag is the weather. In late May you can still see flurries.

Toronto Old and New
June 4, 2009 at 9:26 am | In architecture, canada, ontario, toronto | Leave a CommentToronto is a city that you cannot capture with just one image. Sure the CN Tower is probably the most pictured image of the city, but there’s a great mix of old and mostly new architecture in the city. I particularly like the U of T area of the city where you get a great mix of people and place.

Lake Simcoe Spring
May 19, 2009 at 5:54 am | In canada, lake, ontario, spring | Leave a CommentTags: canada, donar, lake, ontario, simcoe, sketch, spring
The spring in Canada always seems to come late. It teases you with nice weather and then wind, rain, snow and sleet all come at once. When leaves finally emerge, this is a great time to bring out the bright yellow and greens of early spring. The wind picks up and the waves create a nice energy to the once frozen and static scene.

Jamming at the Hagood

Ed Bolt, Dean Watson and pals can be found jamming on a saturday afternoon at the Hagood Mill. I love to sit back and capture the great music on paper.

Another clear beautiful day at lake Simcoe. This time I wanted to capture the wonderful sunsets over the frozen lake.
Lake Simcoe, Keswick Ontario
December 31, 2008 at 7:13 pm | In canada, ontario, winter | Leave a CommentTags: canada, keswick, lake, ontario, simcoe, snow, winter
Lake Simcoe is big lake 40 minutes north of Toronto. This was a clear sunny but cold day. Once the lake is thoroughly frozen it is alive with snowmobilers and ice fishermen. One day, Ann and I ventured out for a walk on the ice and saw a bunch of hosers driving their pickup trucks on the ice. Other than the rednecks…it’s a beautiful place and I enjoy the view everytime I’m up here.
Selugadu Cherokee Corn Fest
November 17, 2008 at 3:59 pm | In south carolina | Leave a CommentTags: carolina, Cherokee, hagood, mill, pickens, Selugadu, south
This is the corn festival held at the Pickens Hagood Mill. I love this place as it is one of the few original mills still in operation. They grind wheat and corn at these monthly events and this month, November is Selugadu, a Cherokee cornbread festival. They have traditional and not-so-traditional events with native american dancers from around the continent and bluegrass.
