Falling Into Winter 2022
Here are a selection of my favorite photos taken in late-September, October and November 2022, in Edmonton:
And some abstracted photos from mid-October:
Into November, with a rather sharp transition to winter:
Walkin’ the Woods
Another autumn day, another stroll through the wooded trails in Edmonton’s river valley, photographing the colors and forms of nature:

Not Quite Autumn Leaves
It is just early September but the leaves (and berries) are showing a strong movement towards the colors of Autumn .
These photos were all captured in Edmonton’s river valley on September 8th, 2021.
Abstract Autumn
Here are some of my recent (September 2018) abstract photographs:
These photos were created by using a shutter speed of around 1.5 seconds and moving the camera during the exposure. I then tweaked the digital images (contrast, color saturation, cropping etc.) using Lightroom.
I hope to use some of these images as inspiration for paintings.
Autumn Color
Here are some color photographs from early October 2016, featuring the colors of the season (or not particularly)!
Wrinkled Green Trunk

Just a Crow
Like Fireworks
Between the Blues

Simplified Geometry
Three recent (2015 October) photos – abstracts, in that what makes them interesting is the simplification of, the focus on, certain geometric forms.

On the Step
Leaf Beauty
Autumn is overwhelming – so many leaves, so much color!
I am often drawn to the broad sweeps of vivid color in the fall landscape but I also like to enjoy the natural artistry in the details. My camera encourages me to slow down and look at the beauty on a smaller scale – the beauty of each single leaf.

Autumn Leaves (again)
Ah, the seductiveness of the colors of autumn. Every year I am awed by nature’s spectacle.
“But not this year!”, I told myself as fall descended on my part of the world. It seemed every year I took pictures and I’m sure if I went back and actually looked at images from previous years I would find the same scenes and colors repeating themselves. The golden trees against the deep blue sky have become so cliche – it’s not just me, everyone is taking the same photos!
But you know what? I couldn’t resist. I’ve taken photos of those autumn leaves again and I will share them again. I will however try to share those images that are a little bit different.

Autumn Color
It is mid-September here in my part of the world and that means that autumn is arriving in a hurry. There is an exciting burst of color that will soon give way to 7 months of greyness. Fortunately images captured, can be images savored (and perhaps painted), during the long wait til spring.

Straight-up Nature Photos
Although I love to play around with abstracted and black and white photos, today I want to share 5 photos with nothing fancy going on – pretty much just nature as I saw it.
