Quidi Vidi Winter

quidividiWe are having a record breaking amounts of snow for a December and the city has turned into a winter wonderland. It should be a great period for photographs but we’ve actually had so many storms that I haven’t had a chance to go out with my main camera. That said I was out at the Quidi Vidi dog park over the weekend and had my iPhone with me. The lake is frozen over and the whole place was covered in relatively fresh and undisturbed snow. I took a pano with the phone and used snapseed to convert it to black and white.

 

Harbour Hydrant

HarbourHydrant-1I let posting images to my blog slip a little but in fact I have been out a few times over the last month taking photos so I really have no excuse. Here is one from a trip down town a few weeks ago. There is a tiny part of the harbour that you can get to that is all run down and abandoned. I was there last year and decided that I’d have a look around there again. This time I noticed this old fire hydrant with Signal Hill in the background and some nice autumnal light hitting it so I crouched down to take some photos. I later learned that apparently that’s around the spot where the city sewage goes into the harbour so maybe I won’t be doing a return visit. Though there was no smell so maybe it’s just a local myth.
