CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

Those of you who have visited before will probably notice there has been a change in the name of my site.  On the advice of a very practical and computer savvy person close to me, I have changed the name to 'IMAGE AND THOUGHT' to match the web address as closely as possible.  I originally wanted it to work the other way around but somebody beat me to 'Interpretations' which was the original name I chose.  No room for late bloomers in such a competitive world.
However, since I did choose the new name as a web address originally, my subconscious was probably already on this track.
I just needed a nudge by someone whose judgement I trusted.

Merry Christmas to All

And to all

a good night.

Natural Light at Night

Night shots using natural light only result in an ghostly quality that I really like.

 Colours are surreal and people float in and out of the image like restless souls.

Has Christmas become too commercial?

I've been hearing this question asked ever since I was a kid myself.  And, No.  I don't want to get into a conversation about how long that has been but, if you are a child of the computer age, it's been longer.

There's a part of me that wonders if Mary asked Joseph the same question when the three wise guys showed up unexpected.  Right in the middle of breast feeding no doubt.  Gawd!  The nerve of some people!

Riverdale Farm, Downtown Toronto

This place is such a great escape from the hustle of Toronto.  Even though it's only a short walk from the downtown core. 

Bon Echo Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada

Bon Echo is probably one of the most beautiful public spaces in Southern Ontario
There's only one problem.... It's proximity to larger population centres make it extremely popular all summer long.  It's breathtaking scenery is still worth the trip.

Just try and get there during the week or in the off-season.

Mazinaw Lake is the second deepest lake in the province.  The scarp face of Mazinaw rock stands 100 metres above the lake's surface and extends over 140 metres below.

More intriguing than the geography of the rock face is the extensive collection of aboriginal pictographs that decorate it near the waterline.

 No one is really certain what all the symbols, attributed to the ancient Ojibwe peoples, mean or how far back they date but modern science has yet to be able to duplicate the durability of the substances used to produce them.
