We had all day to get to the Toronto area so we would have time on the day we left Port Stanley for some final picture taking of the local area. I had planned to spend some time capturing vignettes of the Kettle Creek but yesterday didn’t work out, so this morning was my last chance this year. It was unfortunate that the weather did not cooperate, and we had an overcast sky. But once packed and loaded into the he car I set off for the first bridge over the river – on Warren street.
I arrived at the bridge and found a spot to park and then walked to the bridge, it was not as colourful as I was hoping but I started to gather some photos only to fight with the auto focus of the camera. It wouldn’t lock. I had to resort to manual focus mode for the scene. After I returned to the car it was starting to focus lock again and was fine for the rest of the day! I guess it just didn’t like that location. Done with the first bridge I made my way to the second – a smaller single lane bridge where Sparta Line and Roberts Line join. Here there were much nicer colours and scenes to enjoy and so I took some time capturing the various angles and sights of the area.
I then moved on to a third bridge, Fulton Bridge, this was another single lane metal bridge and here I found a few more images that had some interest. Not as colourful as the second bridge but still it was interesting.
Done with the the three I had planned I decided to head on to the highway. We did pass a number of lovely bushes of colour, but the dull day hid almost all of it. So, I didn’t bother to stop. It will be a nice place to return to next year when the sun is out.
