When the sun breaks through and the golden light magnifies & creates a golden marina

“Golden Marina Reflections”-2023

A glorious winter’s day in central Alberta. Diamond frost on the trees with a bright sun peeking through.

A moment from my first expedition snowshoeing at Crawford Conservation area, Ontario. The sun playing peek a boo shines enough light to enjoy this view. Snow makes any scene beautiful and I’m glad I got to capture this moment.

New York City. How many cliches can we fit into one photograph?

This was taken after visiting this magnificent church during evening stroll in Lisbon, church lights were on early contrasting with still bluish sky.

Taghazout Beach , in south morocco
Sunset Time , Incredible light
Horses walking along the beach
Perfect for an award ;))

My father was a wonderful artist. I did not inherit any of his talent. In this photo, I wanted to try and capture the feel of an artist making their first stroke with the paintbrush.

The golden glow of the fire inside the teepee was so warm and inviting…both from the inside and outside .

Salthill Promenade, Galway, Ireland

Indian Mound Park, Englewood, Florida. One of the oldest inhabited areas of Florida, where the indigenous lived and fished. Fishing boats still launch from this area along with the wildlife swooping and diving for fish. This heron stood watching and waiting…

“It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it.”
by John Burroughs (1837 - 1921) American naturalist and essayist.

New York City + New Years Eve + Festive Lights = Photo Potential

A beautiful view over the city of Zürich on a cold and more or less dull day. However, sometimes exactly those dull days enhance the beauty of a city.

The spot from where I took this picture was very near to the main building of the University of Zürich.

On my Amsterdam walk I saw this house. It’s build with a very sharp corner, at the right point it seems almost flat.

A tree under autumn sun… where I spent three days on a silent retreat. I did not miss talking and I was able to see and listen so much more.

A bench with a foggy view of trees and a mansion house.
Misty morning!

Verona, Palazzo Maffei House Museum, the internal staircase. A casket within a casket in the good living room of the city.

Downtown Toronto in all its glory on a -29°C day! Trees are majestic with or without leaves. To me snow decorates the trees in winters and that’s what I’ve captured here with the city backdrop.

An art installation in Bath, UK representing different towns in the area. Walking by I couldn’t resist the shadows it was creating.

Late afternoon photo of the painted ladies houses with the the city scape on the background and the park at the foreground.

The view from an urban precipice. It is always thrilling to ride on a glass elevator. This was the disorienting view from one of the upper floors looking down.

Salthill Beach, Galway, Ireland

Winter in Florida provides a unique perspective and this is the Wolf moon in January 2023, the first full moon of the year. I loved how it reflected in the shallows of the water as the sun set behind me, providing the soft colours in the trees and sky.

“When your barn is well filled all snug and secure, Be thankful to God and remember the poor.”
This inscription (1863) is carved in stone on a wall at Rockwood Academy, Rockwood, Ontario, Canada.

Amsterdam on a very cold, misty day. There are so many canals with beautiful houses and transportation by boats.

Lady Mendl’s Tea Salon in Manhattan; chic and full of beautiful corners. Met an old friend to talk about the past and saw time passed by quietly.

Here in Verona (but also in Venice) we call them "cocai". They are the small black-headed gulls, not to be confused with the large and intrusive herring gulls. In winter they invade the city and give it more beauty. Here in flight along the Adige river, in the background Castelvecchio with its bridge.

A tiny church in the Dolomites offering travelers a place to rest and reflect.

No snowstorm could stop me from capturing this beautiful view on a cold day at Harbourfront, Toronto. My fav neighbourhood boat - the Kajama stands there in all its glory !
