Winter sunrise

My office is right by the river in Douglastown, almost exactly opposite where I live. I've watched many sunrises from there, though not by choice, thanks to stupid early deadlines on Tuesday and Thursdays.

Some nice photo ops ensue sometimes:


Some parts of the river hadn't quite been snow-covered yet, meaning some colourful reflections:

That is all.

Coyote on the river

My 18-200 lense was finally repaired this month, and I continue to be amazed at how insane the zoom is.


This shot, of a coyote on the frozen river, was taken from the shore, hundreds of metres away. It's a little fuzzy, but the fact I could see it at all is amazing. I only really have a workman's grasp of my camera and its lenses and what they can and can't do, something I'd like to change this year.

First time I seen one of these things. It was just making its lazy way up the centre of the river toward the bay, no care in the world.
