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.

Stacked Petal Forms

Duncan Rawlinson created this piece using artificial intelligence to explore abstract color relationships and synthetic organic form. Bulbous petal-like shapes stack vertically, their surfaces shifting from electric blue tips through cream to coral bases in smooth gradations. A bold black chevron wraps the central column, anchoring the composition’s upward movement. Scattered yellow circles orbit the tower at the margins, punctuating the piece with bright accents. The work combines saturated hues—magenta, cyan, orange—against a soft blue field, building a playful yet structured study in color relationships and digitally generated shapes.

Masked Figure with Glitch Effects

Duncan Rawlinson created this AI-generated image using digital art techniques and artificial intelligence to explore futuristic identity. A figure wears a wolf-shaped mask covered with glitch patterns and reflective surfaces, suggesting a cybernetic character. Pale, worn garments cover the shoulders, decorated with dried flowers that contrast with the technological elements. A glowing ring floats behind the head while smoke moves through the frame. The colors combine cool blues and purples with touches of pink and green against a dark background. The composition centers the masked subject, showing layered textures and the combination of organic and synthetic materials.

Fiery Maple Canopy in Fall

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this maple canopy in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada, during October 2019 at the height of fall color. The frame is packed with maple leaves in red, orange, and yellow, their saturation intensified by natural afternoon light. Shallow depth of field renders the background into a soft wash of warm tones while keeping the foreground leaves sharp against glimpses of blue sky. The composition isolates the foliage from the ground, concentrating entirely on the color and structure of the deciduous canopy. This is a real photograph of an eastern Ontario autumn, where the forests deliver a dependable annual display of color.

Storm Gathering Over the River

Duncan Rawlinson made this photograph in spring 2020 over the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. Heavy clouds press down toward the St. Lawrence River, their forms shifting and building above the water. A small island sits alone on the left, anchoring the composition against the wide stretch of river and sky. The monochrome treatment emphasizes the tonal gradations in the cloud formations, from bright highlights to deep grays. Mist softens the distant shoreline, adding depth to the frame. This image captures a moment of changing weather, where the scale of the sky dominates the river below.

Autumn Canopy in Gananoque

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this residential street scene in Gananoque, Ontario, during the peak of fall color in October 2020. A mature maple tree dominates the frame, its canopy filled with red and orange leaves that contrast sharply against the overcast sky. The tree anchors a neighborhood block, where parked vehicles and modest homes provide scale and context. Fallen leaves blanket the lawn and pavement below, marking the season’s progression. Evergreens and bare branches frame the composition at the edges, while soft natural light filters through the clouds. The photograph captures a moment of seasonal transition in a small Ontario town, where residential streets become temporary displays of autumn foliage.
