I had seen this beautiful flower carpet on the roadside when I was taking my mum to visit my uncle. It is on Picton Road. I only caught a glimpse of it as I went past but decided it was worth a look. It took aout five trips before I actually had time to stop and look for it but it was well worth it. When I was looking for it I described it as “someone has .thrown a pink mat on the footpath…Thanks for visiting

PICTON CASTLE ,at the Tall Ships Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 16, 2007 The Canadian 284-ton Barque Picton Castle is a traditionally rigged and operated sail training ship ,voyaging around the world under square sail. In 2005, on her fourth global circumnavigation, she sailed more than 30,000 sea miles across the South Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and South and North Atlantic Oceans, visiting remote islands and tropical ports including Panama, Galapagos, Pitcairn Island, Rarotonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Bali, Madagascar, Cape Town, St. Helena, and the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. All on board work, stand watch, and learn the way of a square-rigged sailing ship, also learning wire and rope rigging, sail making, boat handling, navigation, and practical seamanship. She also delivers educational material and other supplies to the remote islands. Outfitted to the highest standard with safety gear and equipment, she is a strong, seaworthy home afloat for young adventurers learning the art of deep-water seafaring.

Picton Ontario Picton Ontario is located roughly 3.5 hours from Toronto and is renowned for the beautiful waters, scenery and it’s wildlife. This shot was taken at one of the boat launches, unfortunately the dock itself is private so I was no able to get on it but was forced to use this perspective instead. The sky was gorgeous and I could spot the lovely reflection in the water, limited access or not I have no complaints with the end result. -Marc
Lake On The Mountain – Picton Ontario Lake on The Mountain is located in Picton Ontario and is renowned for the wonderful clear and clean water. This was shot in November 2008 and the weather as usual in Ontario was icy cold. I scouted the location the day before so I knew exactly what to expect the next morning opposed to figuring it out and loosing the magic moment. The next morning at 5:45am I knew exactly the composition I wanted knowing I could catch a bit of the look out deck and knew the opacity of the water would allow me to see the rocks and use them as part of the lead in. I was very happy with the end result. Handheld HDR 3 exposure -2 / 0 / +2 (99% of the time I am handheld) -Marc

Taken during Sail Gloucester tall ships show, MA with Nikon D60, raw, preudo HDR Homeport: Lunenburg, Nova Scotia / Rig: Barque / Sparred Length: 179’ / Draft: 14’ 6” / Beam: 24’ / Hull: Steel The Picton Castle is registered in the Cook Islands, in the South Pacific, and is owned and operated by the Windward Isles Sailing Ship Company, Ltd. The ship’s mission is deep-ocean sail training and long-distance education. Also, she carries supplies and educational materials to far-flung islands in the South Pacific. Her North American homeport is Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The ship is a completely refitted Barque that observes the rigorous standards of Germanischer Lloyds for steel-hulled Cape Horners. She is 179 feet overall, with riveted steel hull, clear oiled-pine decks, steel masts, and wooden and steel yards. She carries 12,450 square feet of canvas sail. The ship also has a powerful 690 hp Burmeister & Wain alpha diesel engine for occasions when sailing is not feasible. The galley is on deck, and its 1893 cook stove is similar to those used on commercial sailing ships 100 years ago. There are berths for 40 sail trainees and 12 professional crew members. (Usually about half our trainees are men and half women. Their ages range from 18 to 60+, with the majority under 35.) Sleeping accommodations are bunkroom style, in two tiers of pilot bunks. Bunks have curtains for privacy and individual reading lights. “Barque Picton Castle” was featured in Nautical on July 11, 2009
