My imaginary world… alone with the Lighthouse, at Peggy’s Cove!

In Peggy’s Cove, how can you choose which way to point your camera?
No image, is as good as being there… here’s my glimpse of the harbour.
‘Peggy’s Lighthouse Study #2’

Peggy’s Lighthouse Study #2-2017, 45″x 45″
It’s been a struggle to find solitude with this formerly, lonely beacon…
Although combed by relentless waves of tour buses and RVs in the summer; this structure was a lonely lifesaver for countless mariners and still serves. Many a shaken fisherman made it home to their families, thanks to this beautiful, lonely structure.
I don’t know how many lives it’s saved… but it’s a huge number.
Hats off; to those who built her and stood watch… in Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia.

‘Peggy’s Lighthouse World’, 2017-40″x 40″
This is my take on this iconic tourist attraction; Peggy’s Cove, in Nova Scotia.
I arrived early to avoid the tourist buses and the Photoshop work I’d have to do, to remove them from my scene. The sky was beautiful so I decided to highlight it, in this piece.
More takes on this subject coming soon… I’ve been on the East Coast shooting, for the last few weeks…
‘Green Timbers with George’

Green Timbers Forest is pretty good as urban forests go.
It’s a world of it’s own… deserving of protection.
My dog, George… thinks it’s his turf. He patiently waits while I fiddle with my camera.
‘Green Timbers Tunnel with Dog’

‘Green Timbers Tunnel with Dog’-2017, 40″x 40″
Green Timbers Forest is in Surrey. That’s Surrey, in Metropolitan Vancouver, not London England!
My dog “George” is patiently waiting for me to stop fiddling around and continue the “sniff and wiz”.
He’s unaware that he’s been brought here today specifically to model.
Being a charming Standard Poodle, he’s a very good poser and very patient with the hired help (that would be me).
Nothing phases him, if this tunnel was there… he’d jump right in.
‘Library Glass Warp’

‘Library Glass Warp‘-2011, 20″ x 29.75″
Vancouver’s main library looks like a modern version of the Roman Coliseum. Of course, it’s surrounded by beautiful glass buildings, so I just decided to wrap them around it. The Library is also circular, so I stayed with the circular theme. This was a winter project. As usual; there was no snow… lucky to be living in “Lotus Land”!
