Winter Church Facade

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The monochrome image presents a church facade where icicles hang from the roofline above a pointed arch window. Snow blankets the dark roof and clings to bare tree branches visible at the top of the frame. The horizontal lap siding creates a repeating pattern across the white wall, punctuated by the vertical thrust of the Gothic window. The composition contrasts the architectural geometry with accumulated winter ice and snow.

Blurred Floral Sweep

Duncan Rawlinson created this abstract image using artificial intelligence to explore motion and color in floral forms. Red and white flowers appear to sweep diagonally across a soft gray-green backdrop, their petals stretched into streaks of coral, red, and cream. The motion effect transforms the flowers into bands of color that radiate from a darker cluster at the left, suggesting movement frozen mid-sweep. Green stems and foliage blur into horizontal lines that reinforce the directional pull. The muted background keeps attention on the flowers themselves, where the contrast of sharp and smeared edges creates a sense of speed. This AI-generated artwork balances recognizable floral elements with abstraction, offering a contemporary take on botanical subjects through digital techniques.

Fog Over Thousand Islands

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this wide view over the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada, in spring 2025. A dense layer of fog blankets the river, obscuring much of the water and leaving only the dark silhouettes of islands visible above the white. A ship moves slowly through the fog, its presence marked by the faint sound of its horn as it navigates the channels. The soft morning light reveals a blue-gray sky above, while the forested shores and scattered islands stretch across the frame. The composition emphasizes the scale and stillness of the region, with the fog adding depth and atmosphere to the scene.

Unfinished Projects Wait

Shot by Duncan Rawlinson. Duncan Radlinson photographed this scene during a fall drive through rural Ontario in 2018. A rusted hot rod frame sits on the driveway beside a weathered garage, flanked by idle lawnmowers and bare trees shedding their autumn leaves. The image shows the weight of unfinished projects—dreams deferred as life moves forward. Muted tones of rust, faded paint, and damp pavement anchor the composition. The empty windows of the car and the still machinery suggest ambitions that wait, patient and persistent, for a return that may or may not come. This photograph captures a familiar rural scene where aspiration and reality coexist in the yard.

Barn in Early Snow

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this rural Ontario scene from above during the fall of 2018. A weathered wooden barn sits alone in a field dusted with the season’s first snow, surrounded by trees still holding their autumn yellows and greens. The aerial perspective reveals the structure’s isolation and the patchwork of color and white across the ground. Nearby homes and a road trace the edges of the frame. The light is soft and even, typical of an overcast late-October day in the 1000 Islands region. This photograph captures the brief overlap between fall foliage and winter’s arrival in eastern Ontario.

Blockhouse Island Waterfront Spring

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view of Blockhouse Island and the Tall Ships Landing Coastal Resort in Brockville, Ontario, during spring 2025. The frame looks down over the marina, the tall residential tower, and the surrounding waterfront properties where the St. Lawrence River meets the developed shoreline of the 1000 Islands region. Fresh green foliage fills the residential blocks inland, while boats rest at their slips along the protected docks. The late-afternoon light brings out the architectural detail of the high-rise and the varied rooflines of the historic downtown core. This photograph records a moment of seasonal renewal in a small city shaped by its relationship to the water.

Palouse After Harvest

Duncan Rawlinson photographed the Palouse in eastern Washington, a region of rolling farmland. The freshly harvested wheat fields show contour lines left by farm equipment curving across the hills. Storm clouds overhead cast blue light across the sky while the stubble fields below hold warm, straw-colored tones. The composition emphasizes the sculptural quality of the land. This photograph was made during a summer trip in 2018, capturing the agricultural character and natural geometry of the Palouse after harvest.

Harvest Scarecrow with Pumpkins

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this Halloween scarecrow decoration during a fall drive through Ontario in 2018. The figure wears a red-and-white gingham shirt and a straw hat topped with sunflowers, its white pumpkin head surrounded by green raffia hair. Three orange pumpkins rest on log stumps at its base, with dried flowers and soft green grass nearby. The shallow depth of field keeps the scarecrow sharp against the blurred background. This seasonal display shows autumn festivities in rural Canada, combining traditional harvest motifs with playful Halloween decoration.

Unnamed Island, Thousand Islands

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this small, unnamed island in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The rocky outcrop rises from calm blue water, crowned with birch and cedar trees that cling to the granite. Late afternoon sun brings out the warm tones in the stone and the fresh greens of summer foliage. A single flat rock rests in the foreground water, adding scale and depth. The composition isolates the island against the surrounding water, showing the undeveloped character of this part of the St. Lawrence River. This aerial view captures the Canadian Shield meeting freshwater.

July 4th 2026 Fireworks At Boldt Castle

On July 4th, 2026, Duncan Rawlinson photographed the Independence Day fireworks bursting over Boldt Castle on Heart Island in Alexandria Bay, New York. Shot during the last minutes of twilight, the display filled the sky with gold, crimson, and violet while the fading sunset still glowed along the horizon behind the castle. Dozens of spectator boats gathered on the St. Lawrence River, their lights scattered across the water and the reflections of the show shimmering between them.

This is an annual tradition. See the fireworks at Boldt Castle from my previous years: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
