Out of many reasons I didn't really take photographs that time. I just was amazed and pleased about that new little "tin box" with its tiny sensor inside. There was nothing that could be done manuelly and the small lightcollector wasn't able to create a selective focus for a blurred background. So I rather snapshooted, than photographed and my images of that time offer more a documental value, than anything else. At least I think so. And of course, they keep memories. At least for me. Well, meanwhile I am able to handle some image editing tools and again, I am amazed and pleased about what can be done with this old and small files - assumed you take the time it is needed. The image up here is an example for such pictures. I wasn't statisfied at all with it, but some evening hours of editing made it at least respectable, I think. A jumble however it remains ...

Alvar - leveled and massiv limestone, planed by ice age glacier. Non to little soil development during last few thousand years create an envirement for very specialized plant communities. Those stronger cracks have to do with the structure of the limestone, the finer scratches origin from glacial movements during the last ice age.

The French River (French: Rivière des Français, Ojibwe: Wemitigoj-Sibi) is a river in Central Ontario, Canada. It flows 110 kilometres (68 mi) from Lake Nipissing west to Georgian Bay ... The French River flows through typical Canadian Shield country, in many places exposing rugged glaciated rock but also through heavily forested areas on the upper portion. The mouth of the river contains countless islands and numerous channels which vary from narrow, enclosed steep-walled gorges, falls and rapids, to broad expanses of open water. Together with the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers, the French River formed part of the water highway from Montreal to Lake Superior in the days of the fur trade. It remained a major canoe route until about 1820. Around 1855, the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada provided newfound access to the area and the Georgian Bay. This led to increased exploration and interest for fishing and logging during the era of the Industrial Revolution. After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, there was a boom in logging along with the creation of Lumber barons in the Great Lakes. The French River was "ripe for the picking with its seemingly inexhaustible supply of timber and proximity to the American markets". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_River_(Ontario)

Devil's Rock (also known as Devils Rock and Mani-doo Aja-bikong) is a granite escarpment located 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Temiskaming Shores, Ontario, Canada. The cliffs rise 300 feet (91 m) above Lake Timiskaming and extend nearly as far underwater as they do above, giving Devil's Rock a cliff face roughly 600 feet (180 m) tall.

polytropos , LutzP und meine Wenigkeit werkeln gerade an einem kleinen Nostalgie-Meeting. Alle drei waren wir zu verschiedensten Zeiten beim "Donnernden Wasser" in - was uns betrifft - Kanada. Na ja, da die Sache jetzt durch polys Einstieg größeren Umfang annimmt, springe ich über meinen Schatten und durchbreche meine Ordnung beim Veröffentlichen im Fotostream. Autsch, tut zwar weh, aber selbst auferlegte Ordnungen zu durchbrechen, hat ja auch sein Gutes und bringt frischen Wind ... sagt man zumindest ... ;-)) Hiermit veröffentliche ich auf Ipernity also eines meiner ersten digitalen Fotos - und bringe mein Erstaunen darüber zum Ausdruck, was aus diesen alten 7,2MP kleinen JPG-Dateien in der Nachbearbeitung (Camera Raw, Photoshop, Nik-Collection) alles noch heraus zu holen ist. Bitte besucht auch poly und Lutz. Mittlerweile ist auch Erhard Bernstein zu uns gestoßen, mit einem Standbild aus einem 1977er Super 8-Film . Und Berny mischt auch schon mit.
