MOUNTAIN SHADOWS FALLING

BANFF MOUNTAIN TIMBRE
On this clear spring day the undulating interplay of light and shadow across the slopes of the mountains surrounding Banff Alberta were positively rhapsodic. Banff, Alberta Canada May 2016 ©2016 Elle Bruce www.ellebruce.com

WINTER RECEDES
There is a rock beach nearby on the shore of Lake Ontario that often in the spring is strewn with the debris of a winter's worth of storms. Most of it is man made garbage, but occasionally there are more sculptural pieces from the natural world. Lake Ontario, Ontario, Canada March 2013 ©Elle Bruce www.ellebruce.com
DARK STORM WHITE CLOUD ON GEORGIAN BAY
Early one January morning as a dark storm was rolling in, one white fluffy cloud seemed determined to brighten the horizon. Georgian Bay Ontario, Canada January 2015 ©Elle Bruce www.ellebruce.com
ICE WAVE SUNRISE
It’s early winter here and we’ve had enough days for ice to start forming along the shorline. On this particular morning the wind and the waves were building causing large pancakes of ice to break loose and begin a mesmorizing dance to and fro. As the sun began to rise the storm clouds on the horizon lit up with incredible colour. Collingwood, Ontario Canada January 13 2015 ©Elle Bruce www.ellebruce.com
ARCTIC FOG SUNRISE
The air temperature has hung at -30 degrees C for several days now which has the great Lake Ontario steaming. This summertime gazebo in Port Credit stands empty. A lone witness to the beautiful weather phenomenom unfolding at dawn. Port Credit, Ontario, Canada © Elle Bruce, January 2014 www.ellebruce.com
MUSKOKA SUNSET
Summer weekends in cottage country are precious. The good weather season is short. A full day of rain on a Saturday can be very disappointing... but sometimes Mother Nature makes up for it by sending a spectacular sunset. ©Elle Bruce 2014. www.ellebruce.com
SUNRISE THROUGH ROSE COLOURED GLASSES
GEORGIAN BAY MORNING STILLNESS
Calm mornings at the water’s edge are among my favourite quintessential Ontario summer moments. Getting up in time to make sunrise images means a very early start and though I am often still sluggish as I set up my gear, on calm mornings there is a peaceful energy that radiates from the quiet calm of nature and recharges my soul. Perhaps it’s the promise of a sunny day ahead just waiting to be filled with warm weather pastimes. Thornbury, Ontario, Canada July 2014 ©Elle Bruce www.ellebruce.com

IN THE WEEDS
There are times when the best view is a small one right in front of you. To be "in the weeds" usually is a bad thing but not so in this case. The subtle gradation of colour reflected in the water, the gentle ripple of a wave highlighted by the sunrise and a silhouetted sprinkling of water weeds.

NEW YORK CITY BOKEH DOUBLE EXPOSURE
In my opinion cities are at their best when all lit up at night. This image uses a combination of techniques to convey the magic of a city alight at night. TImes Square, NYC as seen from the Intercontinental Hotel. December 2013 © Elle Bruce 2014 www.ellebruce.com
HARVEST MOON RISE AT HOPE ISLAND
I was happily setting up to do some star photography when the most incredible orange orb began to rise above the tree line on Hope Island. Hope Island, Georgian Bay Ontario, Canada © Elle Bruce, August 2013 www.ellebruce.com
GLENORCHY REFLECTIONS
We took a hike one evening along a lovely boardwalk and path that wove in and out of quite areas of reflection. It was a pleasant evening and as long we kept moving the sandflies seemed to leave us alone.

DEER PARK HEIGHTS POND
Deer Park Heights Pond Queenstown, New Zealand We had to climb a good distance to get to the top of Deer Park Heights from where we were dropped off. It was quite steep. So steep that I almost stepped into this pond as I came over the rise. Very convenient as I needed to catch my breath anyhow. ©Elle Bruce, February 2013 www.ellebruce.com taken on Trey Ratcliff's New Zealand Photo Adventure
AUTUMN ALONG SPENCER CREEK
A late autumn hike along Spencer Creek towards Websters Falls and most of the leaves are down and brown. But if you let your eyes wander along the creek to the bend you will see just a little shot of tenacious fall colour that pops agains the evergreens behind.

GILDED - A Golden Forrest Abstraction
The goal was to focus on the colour of the forrest but to leave enough detail that it could be recognized as a forrest. The light was beautiful that day illuminating the oranges and yellows and gilding the autumn leaves.

ALL FALL DOWN
Our first frost and a bit of wind has finally brought down most of the leaves. There is now a delicious rustling noise to be made when walking through the park. Ontario, Canada October 2012 © Elle Bruce 2012 www.ellebruce.com
