Rideau Lakes & southern Ontario

April 2024

I don’t usually comment on my travel (spoiler: it’s usually business travel), but this invites something of a “why were you in southern Ontario in early spring?” question.

We were there for the eclipse. The eclipse was clouded over in Ontario but we out-ran the cloud and saw it from Mont-Saint-GrĂ©goire in Quebec. I didn’t attempt to photograph the eclipse though; it’s hard to do and I’d rather simply see it. Hence the easier-to-get lake photography.

Old Croton Aqueduct Trail

October 2019

Knowing I was coming up on photos of New York really did a number on my photo processing lo these 18 months.

This one was a trudge, 6km or so from Irvington to Dobbs Ferry. I had hoped to do it on the following day but there was rain forecast (in fact the remanents of Tropical Storm Olga) which saw me taking refuge in the Musuem of Natural History, trudging through there instead.

Weekends are always when the jetlag smashes down. Someday I will have the chance to re-learn that.

It’s a pretty trudge though!
