David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > The Sentinel - Algonquin Provincial Park
In the summer of 2006 I canoed north on Canoe Lake. It was a gorgeous day with mild winds and enough cloud to prevent a severe case of sunburn. It appeared to me that this lone pine was standing watch for the island of rock that is its support and nourishment.

Look closely
David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > The Loon is the quintessential bird of Canada's near north. It has a haunting cry that is most often heard echoing over the water of the tens of thousands of lakes that nestle in the smooth rocky curves of the Precambrian shield that makes up the majority of Ontario Canada.
David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > Ancient Caledon

Earlier in the same flight mentioned in Autumn Glory we flew over a bank of ground fog. 

The sun was just over the horizon and deep gold in colour. 

Of course nothing in Caledon is ancient except the rocks but it felt like we were somewhere in Lost Horizon and an earlier time in England had emerged from the mist.

This is a rift in the Niagara Escarpment (a geologic feature left behind by the retreating glaciers about ten thousand years ago) It is somewhere north of Toronto Ontario Canada, probably Mono Cliffs in the Caledon area. 

This aerial photograph was taken from a single engine light plane about 30 minutes after the dawn of an October morning when the trees were at the height of their autumn color display. Our altitude was probably about 900 m.

On The Acropolis Athens Greece




I am passionate about wondering, wandering and story telling and in the past seven years I have traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometres in the US, Canada, Israel, Cuba, France, Belgium, Italy,Switzerland, Greece, Bali Indonesia, Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi (Bridge on the River Kwai) and Phuket (Tsunami) Thailand, Vietnam and Egypt in pursuit of stories and photographs.

I am particularly interested in human conflict and Canadian history and thus have made extensive visits to World War battle sites in Europe, including Ortona Italy, Vimy Ridge and Normandy and Dieppe in France and in Asia.
David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > At The Edge Of Wonder

The sunset of the day
lengthens the shadows of
our knowing
I turn and seek your warmth
and the reassurance
of another morning
But you know, as I
that the promise of
tomorrow is found
not in any certainty of waking
but in the cycle of earth
and the nuclear hearth
that warms us
So we sleep in hope
and are grateful for each
new dawning
David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > MORNING MIST				

In the morning of our day 
a mist shrouds our sight

In the heat of day
often in seeing too far
find we can not bear
the knowing or being known
										
In the dusk of our day
we consume the long looking back 
and yearn for the mist of the morning
to ease our pain

In the night of our day
we wonder at the stars
Late twilight time exposure.
