Yesterday’s photo adventure was a failure, somewhat. I was given directions to an old graveyard where some trails lead to a river. Well, I found an old graveyard but the trails didn’t lead to any river. Thankfully someone in an SUV came down the trail to confirm this. I was already at the point of giving up and turning and walking back to my car. I had been walking a good distance already. It turns out I am at the WRONG graveyard. Either way I took a 5 angle HDR panorama while I was there. I plan to find the correct one in the near future and hopefully find the river near by too.

Today I decided to head out after dark for some night shots. I stopped by 2 parks tonight and took a total of 8 shots. Enjoy. Here are 5:

I really like the light and composition of this one but am disappointed with the fence in the background.

This was taken at the first park I stopped at just after getting out of the car. The posts were asking to be photographed.

The weather has been really interesting lately. Making for some great scenic shots.

This is my favourite photo. Something about the light and fronts/snow on the tree is mesmerizing.

This is the second park I stopped at. I took three variations of this shot and this was the best. I really like the blue lights. It’s a shame about the one light inside the structure.

On my way to work today I decided to finally take some photos of this really old hunting shack. During my lunch break I had to get out and snap some more shots. The fog in the air is making for some great scenery.

This morning I tried to catch a sunrise of this tree. After realizing I would have to get my feet soaked in the icy cold water I decided to give up and continue on to work. After work I went for it. The water was about a foot deep at times when I broke through the ice. Needless to say, my shoes, socks and pants where soaked. I took these 2 HDR shots there. 30 minutes later I was VERY happy to get out of my wet shoes and socks. Just now getting the feeling back in my feet. lol

I am sitting at my PC this morning and all of a sudden this owl crashes into one of my windows. It fell on to my deck. So I quickly get out my camera and head out. Not to often you can get with in 2 feet of these guys. I only got about 3 shots before this guy took off. Then the group of birds chased him away. Unfortunately, he left the mouse that he had caught behind.

This is one of about a half dozen or so birds that were chasing and taunting the owl. They made one heck of a racket too. While I was taking the photos of the owl they were literally 3 feet behind me on the branches. Watching my every move.
