Life On The Canal

I have started my quest for images on the Holland Marsh. As mentioned on my site I will be spending time photographing the Canal and Marsh area during the summer. For those who are reading this and are not familiar with the Holland Marsh, it's a farming area about 50 km north of Toronto. The soil is almost black and the area is predominately used for growing vegetables and flowers. The Holland Marsh has a very distinct feel and I hope to capture it over the next three or four months.

Don Valley

I went out last Sunday to get a shot that I have wanted to get for some time now. Off the Don Valley there are several huge (I think they are planters) that look like elephants or large pants with 4 legs. I found the side street that would take me to them and saw that they were way up on a hill. With all my gear I climbed the hill which was extremely steep. I needed to pull myself up by grabbing trees and weeds growing on the side of the hill. At the top I saw that there was a trail about 100 feet further up that I could have just walked up...Sheeesh. Anyway I got the shot and that's the main thing.
