Ebb tide

The tide has turned and is no longer flinging water over the wharf although people still drive out to check boats or just to get a little closer to the pounding surf.

There's quite a difference between this night shot and the last at the full moon. Perhaps I should take one shot a day for a year and put them on a new blog called A Deck a Day, or maybe What the Deck?

Autumn gale

It's blowing hard here and fishing boats sheltered behind the wharf are frequently inspected by fishermen who drive out to see whether the lines are holding.

Getting the 'feel' took a shutter closed down to f20 and an ISO of 50. Time was 1.6 seconds

October full moon

Since I've been remiss lately about adding photos to this blog, here's a shot from last week's full moon. It snuck up on me and was suddenly shining through my window, but the camera was handy.

Elms in the early morning

The tall elms seem to lose their leaves early in the fall, their flatter tops bare above the town tree canopy. This photo is for students in Indiana...oops, apologies, that's Idaho..who were wondering about trees in Nova Scotia, particularly Dutch elms.
