Photo of the Week 2017-07-10

While on vacation last week, we decided to take a sunset cruise. It's closing in in four years since we bought the cottage and there are a few "tourist things" we have yet to do. This cruise was one of them.

We had decided to tack on an extra night, Monday, after the long weekend and that night provided a clear sky, and calm if a little chilly, conditions for the cruise. It was cool to see the shoreline between Tobermory and Cave Point from the water having experienced most of it on land while hiking sections of the Bruce Trail.

Though the scenery was gorgeous, it proved difficult to capture images that convey the beauty and scale of the escarpment shoreline. From all the images I made, I selected this from just south of Indian Head Cove and cropped to remove what sky was in the original frame to give a sense of what I felt as we passed along the shore.

I continue to try new post processing software to replace the NIK Collection that Google has abandoned . For this image I performed basic adjustments in LR, Topaz Suite and reverted back to NIK Color Efex for the vignette/border that I have yet to find a alternate app for.

    We MUST take that cruise sometime! When we came up a few weeks ago, in the off-season (as recommeded), we were disappointed to find it not running yet.

      I'm not sure when they start/stop the sunset cruise. Best to call or look online before you try again. We waited until we were assured clear sky for sunset and then booked tickets online to make sure we would not be disappointed.

      Hi Sue. I had to think for a bit ... if you take either branch of the Horse Lake Trail down to the boulder beach, it's at the very right hand end of the beach where you have to scramble out onto the rock at the base of the escarpment. It was accessible this way last year but I can't speak for now with water levels up more. Exercise caution when exploring along the base of the escarpment and at the edge of the water. As always, leave only footprints, take only photos & memories :-)
