The Grandmother Tree

My friend Nigel suggested a hike at  Splitrock Loop trail and now that the fall colours are at their height up north, it was the perfect opportunity to check out this trail.

On the way there we pulled over quite a few times to take some photos of the country roads. This one in particular caught our interest.

After navigating to the parking lot for Splitrock Loop trail, we were greeted by the scene above. Talk about an inviting entrance to a trail. The trail itself is only about 5km and is a loop which makes it a fairly easy trail to hike. There isn’t a lot of up and down on this one either.

My favourite part of this trail is the gorgeous tree that we passed towards the end of our hike. Like a grandmother with her arms open, inviting us further along the path. What a great trail. I highly recommend this one if you’re in the area of Mono Cliffs. I will definitely be visiting this one again soon.

Roadside Astrophotography

Tonight there is no moon so my friend Nigel and I decided to jump in the car and head north to look for some stars. As we headed north towards Luther Marsh things got a little on the cloudy side but not enough to deter us.

The layer of clouds seemed to hover along the horizon so when we found ourselves a spot to view the milky way part of it was covered. Ah well. You take your chances with weather when you’re out shooting.

That orange glow in the sky looks like a sunset but its actually the lights from the city of Orangeville located not too far away.

A beautiful night out and a good start to a summer season of night photography.
