Habits in Shades of Black and White

Habits are the structure that holds your day together. Good and bad, they are what you make of them. I had a goal of shooting more B&W so I decided on a smaller goal of posting one black and white for every two colour photos. I have quite enjoyed turning it into a habit this year.  What habits have you formed out of a goal this year? How did you make sure it happened?

Chedokee Falls – Hamilton, Ontario

Chedokee Falls

Last Saturday my good friend Brad, his girlfriend Kina, my lovely lady Dana and I decided to do a nice summers day hike up through the Chedokee falls area of the Niagara Escarpment. It was an extra hot day and what better way to enjoy it then to stand under a waterfall with some of your closest friends.
If you’re ever in the Hamilton area be sure to check out the endless amounts of waterfalls, you won’t be disappointed.

Jökulsárlón

Our stop at the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón was pretty brief but the walk along the shores was incredibly breathtaking. Fed by the terminus of Breiðamerkurjökull the icebergs slowly drift with the tide from the lagoon out to the Atlantic. Some end up drifting back into a nearby beach but the majority enjoy their new found freedom and slowly become apart of the ocean.
I could’ve spent hours here and come October I will be doing just that! Flight back has been booked, so I shall see you the first week of October you frozen iceberg beauties.

“Kind-Horn”

Meet “Kind-Horn” an Icelandic Ram from the farm at Nýpugarđar Guesthouse. I named him because of how kind he was to trot over and let me take his portrait while the thousands of others I saw on the trip would simply run away. What amazes me about the Icelandic sheep is that they carry the same genetics as the sheep from over 1100 years ago when they were brought over from Norway. It is a common theme here that history prevails everywhere you look.
