It is rare that this bridge in Cliff Gilker Park has been photographed from this side. When looking at my own inventory of shots, I too have rarely captured it from this view. Perhaps it is because the path that leads to this bridge does so from the other side. Tourists then cross it and follow down the path and along the stream.
Regardless, on this side the water is seen once again rushing due to the plethora of rain we have experienced. The bridge lies in the shade of the trees while the water that leads down the hill, does so in the light of the sun. And, the moss shines brilliant, as if plugged in to natures outlet.
This is at Castle Farms, and small fire in the back roof Friday afternoon and when I left just had to snap this shot of Norm and the fire trucks etc.

It is suggested that in order to generate depth in an image, a landscape photographer should lead the eye into an image by making the foreground dark, and the background lighter. That in fact our eyes will be lead into the image because they are attracted to the light. Sounds like a moth to the flame to me.
I however think there is more to it. Rather, the eye is drawn to a contrasting element and to illustrate my point, this image is the reverse of the accepted norm. Instead, the brightly lit trees are in the foreground and the darkest area a single tree, in the background. Do your eyes rest on the dark?
Please share your thoughts.

This is 'on my doorstep' here in Norwich, and it is something of a hidden gem, but actually I'm thankful for it's (usual) peace and tranquility.

Where, and when, my mind becomes pure
away from the confusion
instigated by the 'pull' of society
I break with habit, and the 'norm'
taking refuge, mindfree, in my childhood hinterland
so often, life took me away from such roots
destroying memories and freedoms
in the name of profit, but for whom?
into corporate pockets real freedom was lost
now, unable to outpace most on foot
I steal away with all my memories refreshed
restoring time, replenishing home
all was within me,
just as all is around me.

I think there has been a shelf of old bottles just like this, in almost every living history museum I have visited in the Maritimes and each and every single time I am compelled to take at least one shot of them. Definitely one of my favourite subjects to capture.
FYI, I have no idea what Norm Syrup is or does, maybe it's a Canadian thing??
Norm at Castle Farms very own Normandy French dragon, is made of 100% recycled metal, and boasts over 6,900 scales, clawed feet, humongous wings and razor sharp teeth. He was one of 25 semi-finalists in the Grand Rapids, MI 2012 Art Price competition. Norm can be found guarding the Castle from the Dragon’s Lair, a new garden featuring prickly plants and other ferocious flora.

When i was doing the tattoo my eyes kept going all blurry because the gun was shaking my hand so much.
Capitalistic determinations
Acculturated to the norm
Aligning ourselves with aberrations
The existentialists are forlorn
