“At End of the Pier” / Theme: Leading Lines
A little about this photo…
One of my first photos of 2019! Went down to the lake on January 1st and captured this shot. Among many others. I had a hard time figuring out which photo to use and which prompt to start the year off with! Well… this is the one I chose. The lighthouse at the end of the pier.
In the summer, this place is packed with people. On a cold winter’s day, we had the place to ourselves. (This is Lake Ontario, by the way. If you look closely, you can see the city of Toronto off in the distance.)
THIS WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is posted every Saturday. Please join me in posting your own photos with #2019picoftheweek

Out of season and early morning, best time for photos. Love the colour tones. 🙂

Thanks! I liked how the colours turned out myself.
And yes, and I found that New Year’s Day is also a great time to avoid people in the shot as they’re all still sleeping!

Early New Years Day.
I did consider a short walk out, see what I could find at nearby Breydon. Ah, but , phone calls, emails, visits. It didn’t happen. It didn’t help that I’ve taken so many photos of Breydon Water that, beautiful though it is, I’m beginning to feel a tad jaded. 🙂

I know what you mean. Shooting in “our backyards” gets a little more difficult each year because (we think) we’ve taken all the angles. The key is to see it in a new way. If that’s possible.

Thanks for visiting my blog, Maria. I’ve finally posted a FROZEN pic. I’m sticking to the order, else I’ll end up with all the hard ones in the latter part of the year. I remembered to use the tag. Really excited to be part of this challenge since I know exactly what you mean about getting jaded, for it was happening to me. 🙂

Whatever works for you. 🙂 Remember, you can skip a prompt here and there. The year has 52 weeks, and there are more than 52 prompts. (There are 60 if I’m remembering correctly. And technically more if you treat the prompts separated by the / as two prompts!)

No doubt I will end up skipping here and there – like I do most everything else in my life. 🙂

I went to school there in the 90s. Good memories. A lot has changed since then, though!
