In addition to spending some time at the cottage tearing down a shed, my younger son Jordan and I finished off with a sightseeing flight over the Bruce Peninsula. We had planned to take the flight on Saturday but weather conditions were bad. They improved on Sunday so we packed up and headed to Owen Sound for a 3:00 take-off.
There was more haze than I would have liked for photography, but the views were breathtaking as we crossed the peninsula to Sauble Beach then made our way up the Huron coast over our cottage on Hay Bay, on past Tobermory and down the Georgian Bay side.
I found photography from the plane quite difficult with window glare, reflections and the atmospheric haze but managed to get a decent image of a section of the north shore of Hay Bay that where our cottage is (lower right).
We made several passes over this location and each time we came around into position, we ran into turbulence that made shooting near impossible. I have several better compositions that are far too blurry from camera (plane) shake.
Clouds moving in also cast shadows over some parts of the scene just when we made these passes. Still, I'm quite pleased with the image above and will likely frame one for the cottage wall.

Did something similar here to photograph the Wodehouse Karst when it was flooded in the spring. Worked well. Must have been a great experience!
