  • The bulk carrier CSL St-Laurent, approaches the Port of Thunder Bay.<br />
<br />
The port is home to the only Canadian shipyard at the head of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system. It’s the largest grain supply chain in the world: a dynamic, navigable waterway that stretches 3700 kilometres into the heart of the North American continent. The Port was built to provide access to European markets for Western Canadian grain producers.<br />
<br />
CSL (Canada Steamship Lines) operates self-unloaders, bulk carriers and transhippers on this waterway. Transport includes iron ore, coal, ilmenite, salt, slag, limestone, dolomite, wheat, corn, soybean, canola and gypsum.<br />
<br />
The Sea Keeper mural of the CSL St-Laurent: Between mid-February and early March of 2017, four Montreal artists created a mural on the forward façade of the accommodations block of the CSL St-Laurent. It depicts a Canada goose with its powerful wings spread in flight, its forward motion a tribute to Montreal and to Canada.<br />
<br />
The Sleeping Giant (Nanabijou), which provides the backdrop of this photograph, is Thunder Bay’s most well-known natural wonder. The landmass itself is an Ontario Park with hundreds of kilometres of hiking trails and campsites to enjoy.

  • Thunder Bay (ON): Fog rolls over the waterfront, blanketing the harbour with low visibility.
    Thunder Bay_95A0199b.tif
  • A large scale panoramic, the clouds were added to make the sky more visually dramatic, as it was quite tame during capture. For those that know Thunder Bay, you’ll recognize just how wide this scene is. I love that a cargo ship was making its way in front of the Sleeping Giant, which I captured in the photograph.

  • A flock of Canadian swim on Lake Superior. In the background the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park: a series of mesas formed by the erosion of thick, basaltic sills on Sibley Peninsula, which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.<br />
<br />
Captured on Lake Superior in Thunder Bay, ON June 13 2021.

  • Nestled on the shores of Lake Superior, sun flare washes the sky over the City of Thunder Bay (ON, Canada).<br />
<br />
With this photograph I wanted to show viewers not just the size of Thunder Bay’s waterfront, but also to give an idea of how many residents live very close to the shores of Lake Superior. This provides easy access to the harbourfront’s Marina and Port via a short walk or car ride.<br />
<br />
The Port of Thunder Bay is home to the only Canadian shipyard at the head of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system. Coming from Toronto, I’d never seen such large sea vessels with such frequency. The Port was built to provide access to European markets for Western Canadian grain producers.

  • Port Arthur's Landing in Marina Park, Thunder Bay, ON: There was something to be said for the stillness of this new morning. Everything was whisper quiet, aside from the occasional bird call. The air, full of fog, danced ever so slightly with a light drizzling of rain. Dew drops settled atop eyelashes. Barely a ripple across the lake. And, not another person in sight. <br />
<br />
Captured early Autumn just as the sun was rising.

  • Thunder Bay's Marina on Lake Superior. <br />
<br />
In the background is the sea vessel LYULIN, a Bulk Carrier built in 2011, sailing under the flag of Malta.<br />
<br />
It’s carrying capacity is 30686 t DWT. Her length overall (LOA) is 186 meters and her width is 23.7 meters.<br />

  • Captured mid-June, the colours of a summer sunrise can evoke feelings of joy as there are several weeks of summer to look forward to before the arrival of autumn.<br />
<br />
In this photograph the unmistakable outline of the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park adorns the surface of the lake, with the Lyulin Navibulgar bulk carrier to the right.

  • It was chilly when I ventured out this morning. About -6ºC. This was good. Really good. Most of February had been a deep freeze.<br />
<br />
I had wanted to make this cityscape photograph for some time. One which captured Thunder Bay’s big sky and expansive Lake Superior waterfront. I love this perspective of the city. <br />
<br />
Witness grain elevators and the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park across Lake Superior.<br />
<br />
Captured from Hillcrest Park<br />

  • An early morning view of the lighthouse, Sleeping Giant Provincial Park and one of many cargo ships frequenting Lake Superior, this one being Malta's Navibulgar.<br />
<br />
I love how the sky and the water's surface travel in the same direction, giving an idea of wind that was present.

  • Thunder Bay (ON, Canada): In the craft of photography, the completed image is missing elements that may have influenced the photographer at the time of capture. Not present are the sound, scent, thought, circumstance, past expervience and emotion the photographer was in the midst of. That’s part of what can make photography uniquely beautiful and individual. At least to this photographer.<br />
<br />
How the viewer sees the final photograph is unique. To residents of Thunder Bay, the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is instantly recognizable in this photograph. To those not familiar with this beautiful landmark, does the photography still stand on its own? I think this image plays both parts equally well. I’ve titled it Shadow and Snow.<br />
<br />
It was a mild winter day. The first melt of the year. Perfect for a walk along Thunder Bay’s Port Arthur harbourfront. As often happens I found it hard to ignore the scene playing out in front of me. Looking out past the shore of Lake Superior to its frozen top-water and the Sleeping Giant in the distance, I was taken with how shadow and texture danced together. How they complemented one another. To me, it was striking. The afternoon sun was the perfect conductor as I imagined what music Mother Nature was playing. Heheh. Hopefully you get the idea.<br />
<br />
The stars of the show in this photograph are shadow, light and texture with the Sleeping Giant and sky adding the final layers of story.<br />
<br />
Bright afternoon sun bouncing off a snow-covered lake isn’t an ideal photography situation without the proper camera gear. I hadn’t planned to photograph so I pulled out what I had on-hand... my mobile camera phone... to see what I could do. While this photograph may not be technically perfect, it’s close. Imperfectly perfect, one could say. <br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it.

How the shadow cast by a neighbouring tree splayed across the scene. How they all complemented one another. To me, it was striking. The afternoon sun was the perfect conductor as I imagined what music Mother Nature was playing. Okay… a little cheesy, but hopefully you get the idea.<br />

  • Port Arthur's Landing Marina Park, Thunder Bay, Ontario: Completed in 2011, the permanent art installation entitled Jiigew, includes an auditory and digital media component.<br />
<br />
Comprised of two 20-meter-high Corten steel pillars embedded with cascading LED lights and a recorded audio narration of Morse code, Jiigew, which means “by the water” in Ojibwe, is situated along the shoreline where it serves as a beacon, connecting water, land, and people.
