Fenced Flow

The theme this week is Patterns and/or Repetition. It isn’t something we generally go looking for when out photographing but once you set your mind to it you start to see them everywhere. I stopped at Bellamy Harbor Park yesterday on my way home from work. It was a warmer day than we have been having and the sun was begging me to not go sit on the couch again. I also thought I could work on some pattern recognition.

I managed to capture quite a few nice images that will work for this week’s theme but I wanted to share this one a little ahead of schedule. It was the first click of the camera as I started to explore the park. I liked the striation of color in the background created by the water flowing over the small dam while focusing on the link fence. Just a few tweaks using Lightroom otherwise very minimal processing beyond the crop.

Nature’s Ice Sculpture

I went looking for the bald eagles over by the dam outlet at Delta Lake on Saturday. I had a good walk but was not fortunate enough to spot any eagles. I did manage to get some images of the ice that forms on branches hanging into the river. This stuff always fascinates me.

Cruisin’ the Barge Canal

This is the second time I have seen this boat on the barge canal. Looking up the website I find there are some very interesting tours available. Next stop would be the bank to see how best to rob it so I could afford one. lol
