Meadowlily Bridge on the Thames

I was riding my bike along the Thames River at 7am one July morning in 2015. The fog was so thick, it leaves these colour photographs with a black and white feel.

Biking Along The Thames

I was riding my bike on the paths along the Thames River. It was very foggy that day, which made these colour photos turn out as if they were black and white.

This is the oldest diamond in all of North America believe it or not. It sits right on the edge of Thames river across from Harris Park. Captured this photo while the groundskeepers were maintaining the field late at night

Here's another one that was taken around sunset - a shot of the railway bridge that crosses the Thames near the intersection of Wortley Road and York Street.

Thames River at Sunset

I took this one while standing on the Springbank Drive bridge, just as the sun was setting. I've always liked the view of this part of the Thames and thought it would make a worthy submission.

"Watching the River Run"

As i approached a known meditation spot at the shore of the Thames River in London Ontario, i soon saw this sculpture someone had a hand in. i studied it from as many vantage points as possible from my side, and beat it home to get my camera, hoping "someone else", other than the original sculptor, would not mess with it. This is one of two photographs i took that afternoon with my 30 years old Nikon FE2.

Meadowlily Bridge in Infrared Light

Taken may 29, 2015, from underneath Meadowlily bridge, which is the dividing line between the Meadowlily Woods ESA operated by the city of London and the land owned by the Thames Talbot Land Trust. Taken with specially modified camera that shoots only black & white infrared light. Light visible to the human eye goes roughly from 400nm (violet) to 700nm (deep red). The spectrum of this photo is from 780 to 850 nm, far beyond the range of human vision. In this light, all healthy green plants appear white as they reflect IR light. Unhealthy plants will not appear white, which is why IR photography can sometimes to be used to identify sick plants and trees (fungus, disease, insects, etc) before the problem becomes visible to the human eye. enjoy
