Photo of the Week 2012-07-16

After a couple of late nights (for me anyway) it was an early start at 5:30 am to head north on Hwy 6 so we could catch morning light. The objective was warm sunlight washing over yellow canola fields.

A Wellington County Morning

Alan was driving and as we passed over the Irvine River I startled him by shouting "stop!" after looking east and catching a glimpse of the scene captured in this image. He found a suitable place to pull over on the far side of the bridge and we scrambled back across.

The early hours of daylight offer wonderful light and subtle colours. This time of year that means getting up at O'dark-thirty to head out and be on location before the sun gets too high in the sky and everything is blasted with harsh light. Some think that this is ... well, just stupid. I think this is why they invented the afternoon siesta.
