This is not a picture of Canada

…reminding me of how cold and snowy it emphatically is not, at the moment. If I wasn’t still sick — still!! It’s been over three weeks now; very boring — I’d be out enjoying the weather. As it is I’m just wrapping up work so I can head off for a massage and then two much-needed weeks of vacation.

But back to the photo. I liked the curve of the shoreline and the reflection in the water in this one — something about the light/dark balance — and the fog adds a bit of mystery. The photographer is Finnish.

  1. It adheres to the “rule of thirds”, which is what your eye was probably attracted by… images are most appealing when they are divided, by light/colour/composition/focal point, into thirds, or thirds of thirds, etc etc. This one definitely does it!

  2. So it does! I had forgotten about that rule.

    When I saw there was a comment, I thought it was going to be something about the hideous weather on the West Coast!

  3. I choose not to comment about that 😉

    They manage to fill hour after hour of local news here with weather stories… I’d watched it for a few nights in a row before I realised that I still had no idea what was actually going on in the world, despite watching the 6pm news! What the hell?! Lordy, sometimes I miss BBC World…
