  • First Snow, 1000 Islands

    First Snow, 1000 Islands

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view over the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The image records the first snow of the year settling on mixed forest and open ground along a winding river. Rendered in black and white, the frame emphasizes the textural contrast between snow-dusted trees, bare riverside vegetation, and the smooth dark water cutting through the wooded terrain. Low cloud cover diffuses the light, creating even tones across the frame. The composition follows the river’s curve from foreground to distant shoreline, where a small community is visible. This photograph captures an early winter moment as the season arrives in eastern Ontario.

  • First Snow Highway Drive

    First Snow Highway Drive

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this view from behind the wheel as the first snow of the year dusted the highway near the 1000 Islands in Ontario, Canada. The roadway curves ahead between snow-laden evergreens and bare deciduous trees, their branches still holding traces of autumn brown. Wet pavement and guardrails mark the transition into winter. The dashboard and rearview mirror frame the scene, anchoring the viewer in the driver’s seat. Overcast skies soften the light across the forested corridor. This image documents the early arrival of winter on a rural stretch of Ontario road.

  • Lone Tree in Winter Field

    Lone Tree in Winter Field

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. A single bare tree occupies a snow-covered field, its dark branches reaching upward against a pale, overcast sky. Behind it, a dense line of evergreens and leafless deciduous trees marks the edge of the field. The muted tones of gray, white, and soft blue define the cold afternoon. The composition centers on the solitary tree, emphasizing its isolation in the empty field. This photograph captures the spare beauty of rural Ontario in winter.

  • Super Snow Moon Rising

    Super Snow Moon Rising

    The super snow moon of February 2019, the largest full moon of that year, rises over the St. Lawrence River in this stitched aerial photograph by Duncan Rawlinson. The Thousand Islands Bridge crosses the frame at dusk with its deck lights just coming on, and their reflections hang in the open water below the span. Beyond the bridge, ice covers the river in a pale sheet that runs toward the moonlit channel. Snow lines both shores and the cottage lights of Ivy Lea glint through the trees at left. The sky grades from the last warmth of sunset at the edges to deep blue overhead. Ivy Lea, Ontario, Canada.

  • Frozen Clearing Above the River

    Frozen Clearing Above the River

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The view shows a snow-covered clearing stretching toward the St. Lawrence River, visible in the distance under an overcast sky. Bare deciduous saplings and frost-coated evergreens line the foreground, their branches heavy with fresh snow. The colors—white, gray, and pale brown—create a calm, still mood. The composition leads the eye from the textured undergrowth through the middle ground of young trees to the water beyond. This photograph records a February day along the river.

  • Storm Light Reflected on Car Hood

    Storm Light Reflected on Car Hood

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this reflection on a vehicle’s polished hood in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The curved surface mirrors a stormy sky at dusk, with bands of warm peach and cool teal stretching across the frame. Bare tree branches reach into the reflected scene, their dark silhouettes contrasting with the lit clouds. Dry grasses and shoreline vegetation appear at the top edge, anchoring the composition in the natural setting. The image transforms an everyday surface into a study of light, weather, and how the physical surroundings appear in reflection.

  • Island Boathouses Through Winter Pines

    Island Boathouses Through Winter Pines

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada. A tall pine anchors the right foreground, its weathered trunk and rust-colored needles framing the view across calm water. Two small islands sit in the middle distance, each crowned with evergreens and a single red boathouse that contrasts with the snow-dusted ground. The water reflects the muted gray sky and the dark forms of the islands, creating a mirror-like surface broken only by faint ripples. Bare deciduous trees and snow-covered shorelines recede into the misty background, while a small sapling with copper leaves adds a warm accent to the lower center. The overcast light softens contrasts across the composition. The photograph captures the off-season in this archipelago, where boathouses and cottages rest dormant among the islands.

  • Dillon Pinnacles Over Blue Mesa

    Dillon Pinnacles Over Blue Mesa

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this view at Curecanti National Recreation Area in Colorado. The Dillon Pinnacles rise sharply above the calm waters of Blue Mesa Reservoir, their deeply eroded volcanic spires catching afternoon light. Sparse vegetation clings to the rolling slopes below the formations, while the blue water reflects the clear sky. The wide composition captures the scale of the geology and the still reservoir. This scene documents the distinctive terrain of western Colorado, where ancient volcanic rock meets the state’s largest body of water.

  • Twin Trees and Rocky Island

    Twin Trees and Rocky Island

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this panoramic view of the Thousand Islands in Ontario, Canada. Two bare trees rise from shallow water, symmetrically framing a small rocky island crowned with a navigation marker. The still surface mirrors the overcast sky, creating a study in reflection and balance. The black-and-white treatment emphasizes the simple geometry of the composition and the calm mood of the scene. A distant forested shoreline marks the far edge, while the glassy water holds the soft gradations of cloud cover above.

  • Fog Banks Over Thousand Islands Water

    Fog Banks Over Thousand Islands Water

    Duncan Rawlinson photographed this scene in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. Thick fog drifts across the water, softening the silhouettes of tree-lined islands and reducing the view to bands of gray and white. The mist compresses distance, layering the islands into faint, overlapping shapes. A small structure on the right anchors the composition. The calm water reflects the diffused light, creating a monochromatic study of atmosphere and landform. The panoramic frame emphasizes the horizontal sweep of fog moving through the archipelago.
