Faye was quite busy with the camera during our visit to far southwest Ontario, she has quite a good eye. During the next few days I will share several of her compositions.
Looking into the late afternoon sun at Point Pelee, light and dark dominate. Beauty is stark, austere.
Southwest Ontario is very, very flat. Some people can find the flatness boring, or, uninspiring, or depressing. It can be any an all of those.
I think the flatness can be inspiring, intriguing, mind-opening. You can see a very long way, for one thing. Our small town’s water tower is visible from ten miles away. Sunsets can be spectacular – the sun sinks below the horizon as flat as a calm lake, sea, ocean. Far-away thunderstorms are clearly visible. Bush scattered here are there is readily apparent.
Southwest Ontario is a good, ever-changing, intriguing place to live. One has to work a little mentally, visually, to find the beauty in the landscape. I like the challenge.
