The swans are migrating south at this time of year.
Every morning there's at least 30 to 40 swans on Frenchman's Bay.

A dreary pedestrian underpass is now a work of art thanks to London's Community Art Project. Twenty students from Rick Hansen and White Oaks public schools in grades 7 and 8 collaborated with local mural artist, Andrew Gillet. This side is painted a cool blue with orcas.

Monday Murals - Under Construct

Andy | Monday, November 05, 2012 | Best Blogger Tips

Artist: Tracy Root. She is painting a 16 metre wide mural commissioned by the London Arts Council and the city’s heritage committee. Unfortunately for me, I was there on Tracy's day off.

**************************************


Work is taking place along the bike path, under the Thames River crossing of Oxford St., in London Ontario. Tracy designed the scene to include a valley, rolling hills, houses, farmers, and a river running through the middle. The valley is bordered by lush forest on either side and the whole scene is framed with a bright blue sky. She started the mural on September 28th and hopes to have it finished by October 27th.

Same Scene - TwoViews

Andy | Friday, November 02, 2012 | Best Blogger Tips

Focal point is the part of an
image that draws the eye of a viewer to the most important part of the image.

In this photo of the same scene using selective focusing I have directed your attention to the foreground. I rate myself as a amateur photographer and this is not intended to be a lesson. It's just me having fun with my hobby.
