Marina in Hibernation

In this captivating photograph, an empty marina lies frozen in the heart of winter. The off-season has left the boat slips vacant, while a delicate hoarfrost adorns the trees, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The still and calm scene is further enhanced by the subtle sea smoke wafting from the unfrozen part of the river nearby. The tranquil beauty of this icy, serene landscape captures the essence of a marina in hibernation, awaiting the return of boating season. https://Duncan.co/marina-in-hibernation

Snow-Capped Archipelago

This aerial image showcases the serene beauty of the Thousand Islands in Ontario, Canada, during the quiet off-season. A fresh layer of snow has blanketed the landscape, creating a pristine and peaceful scene as it covers the archipelago and the surrounding Thousand Islands Parkway. The St. Lawrence River, partially frozen, meanders through the islands, reflecting the Canadian winter’s cold embrace. In this still moment, the islands stand in tranquil solitude, waiting patiently for the return of warmth and visitors.

Several islands are visible in the frame, including Ash Island, Goose Island, and Ivy Island. The nearby Ivy Lea Road and Ivy Lea Suites offer glimpses of the quaint village life that takes place during warmer months. Marinas such as the Village Quay Marina and the Landing at Ivy Lea lay dormant, their boats resting in hibernation until the season changes. The captivating maritime landscape is accentuated by the absence of tourists, allowing the region’s natural beauty to truly shine.

Amidst this snowscape, the photograph conveys the essence of Canadian winters – the majestic stillness and the gentle touch of frost on the archipelago. The St. Lawrence Region is transformed into a winter wonderland, where the seasonal beauty of the area stands unblemished and untouched. This aerial view, captured skillfully by Duncan Rawlinson, offers a rare glimpse into the pristine tranquility of the snow-covered islands, revealing a landscape that is as captivating as it is serene. https://Duncan.co/snow-capped-archipelago
