The natural curves in trees can produce very rhythmic photographs.
Undulations similar to those employed by dancers.

The ice in Nipissing is being blown around by the wind.

Looking like panes of broken glass, the thin ice that formed overnight was piled on the shore by this morning’s wind action.
Very delicate.

Ice Beauty
The ice on Lake Nipissing moved a bit last week when the wind blew from the North.
The Canadian Shield, tough and unyielding, piles the ice on top of itself.
Little bother, the sun will remove the burden in the next little while.
*Thanks to Francoise Noel whose blog revealed a new (to me) method of changing colour to monochrome.

Fishing shacks are hauled off the ice before breakup.
The large flat area is perfect for flying model aircraft in calm wind.
Or sitting reading in the sun.

Despite the grumbling.

Conditions here are much more hospitable for resting the winter away.

Reeds and Cloud
Today is the shortest day of the year, or if you wish, the longest night.
Darkness abounds.
Tomorrow we begin climbing back up the year into light.

Curves are everpresent in nature.
These reeds growing this past fall near my place have some of the most gentle and elegant curves to be seen

Monochrome
King’s Landing is an interesting place to make photographs of Lake Nipissing.
The moods of the Lake and clouds are emphasized by black and white. Colour reduces the impact somewhat.
