Over time, many pictures contain skies, in one way or another. Very often the sky is overlooked, even if it is always present. While I have already blogged about Manitoba skies, I thought it would be nice to have some more.
Skies in Manitoba always seem to be interesting, whichever way you look at them. So, let’s look at some more of it, shall we?
It’s that time of the year again, scary, full of ghouls, ghosts and skeletons. And perhaps a Jack-o'-lantern here and there.
But I happened to catch a witch with her undoubtedly black cat, flying not too high… So, what’s going on here?
In a marshy area, it is not so easy to keep your feet dry. So when visiting Oak Hammock Marsh north of Winnipeg you expect to get wet feet.
Not so. Oak Hammock Marsh is currently in a state of “DrawDown”, an artificial draught to stimulate growth of new plants. The water is pumped away to dry out the lakes, or cells as they call them. The result?
In Manhattan, New York, you can expect skyscrapers and, by consequence, lots of shadows and shadowy areas. After all, you don’t expect sunlight to penetrate that deep between the buildings.
So I decided to go out and try to find that playful light and its reflections between the buildings, however scarce they were.
Every fall in Manitoba, the Canadian Geese gather on the ponds and lakes to wait for the first signs of winter. Sometimes they wait a long time, sometimes they’re gone before you had a chance to say “Goose”.
This year I had the chance to see them at Fort Whyte Alive, where the annual goose gathering is a special event.
