Girl in the Window

 I was in Halifax last April, for the first time ever, celebrating the wedding of my niece.  The city is quite captivating - rich with history and fascinating architecture.  

The image to the right is a sculpture, designed to represent a young woman, leaning out the window.  It really captivated me and I'd love to go back some day and visit the little cafe/bar where this image was captured. 


Halifax Public Gardens - Gateway
The city was covered with fog, which gave  me some very intriguing opportunities for photography.  Fog in any city is enticing, but that goes double, for an old city, with interesting architecture!  This is the gateway to the Halifax Public Gardens - a genuine example of an original Victorian garden.

It would be interesting to see this garden in sunlight, the way its designer intended, but it was eerily beautiful in the fog!






On the other hand, a cemetery is just MADE for  a foggy day.  This image really captured the moodiness of the day!  I was wandering somewhat aimlessly, so I cannot be sure which cemetery this is, but it was PERFECT for what I had in mind for a photo!

    Good morning! Love all of these photos and you captured the feel if this place si well. Is that girl partially sculpted? Is it all just painted because I love the painting. Your 2 cemetery photos are so creepy. I expect to see the ghost of a young woman there. They are excellent! You should visit the people who left messages in previous blogs if you haven't already. :)

Alley in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada The lights in this alleyway, really liven up this little alley!  Walking and photographing at night is always such a different experience from taking images during the day.  Black and white really suits street photography.

My fondness for capturing birds Baltimore Oriole is probably the most defining aspect of my photography.  It connects me to my late mother, who loved songbirds. She enjoyed looking out the window at her feeder, with her beloved (and much worn) bird guide in her hand.   In one way, it's sad that I never got to share my photos with her, as I came to photography late in my life. Yet it connects me to her in a profound and special way.
