November, 2011

Took a few panoramic shots this morning while down at the beach, and this was my favourite:

Long Contrail Over the Beach

The original is much, much larger, since it is composed of several shots stitched together.

This year I discovered that there was going to be a “pumpkin parade” in the east of the city, much closer to where we live than in Sorauren Park in the West End of Toronto where we have gone in the past.

This was the second annual event for East Lynn, and while the park is smaller than Sorauren there was a very good turnout and so plenty of Jack-o’-lanterns to see. I brought along my camera with it’s fastest lens and a tripod.

There was nothing as spectacular as the “pumpkin killer” or “pumpkin crocodile” that we saw at last year’s pumpkin parade in the West End, but there were a few stand-out carved jack-o-lanterns here too, so as this one of a bat which had been carved into the pumpkin:

Another one which got a lot of notice was this “Jack-O-Layton”, a tribute to the late Jack Layton:

Here’s a selection of some of the other carved pumpkins that were on display:
