The Other Balaclava Photos

Once we were done with ye olde sawmill, we looked around nearby. There isn't much around the ghost town, although town is scarcely the right word — one house across the road, one beside the mill, and one around the corner.

There was a barn and a truck belonging to the third house which lies around the bend that will appear further down this post. It was golden hour, and I liked the soft effect on the old truck. The camera picked up more of a misty effect than I noticed in person  


A little farther over was just a field. The light was still good but not quite as good.

I mentioned that there was a house around the bend. You can just see the fence off to the right in front of it here  . I didn't include the actual house, for I was mainly photographing the bend and thinking what a nice scene it would be in a few weeks time when the autumn colours come out. By the time I took this photo, golden hour had all but passed.

I'm not sure what Nick was photographing here: maybe also the truck.

Then, it was time for the drive home.

  1. I think this could be a site for future photo adventures - exploring Balaclava in all seasons.

  4. Those golden photos have a surreal effect. Unusual images. Good outing with Nick. I like the photos in your previous post too.

  8. Exploration can be so addictive with a camera in hand. But the thrill of accidentally walking into a private land and facing a landowner pointing a rifle at you are certainly no fun ...

  9. I like that second shot because of the contrast with the house on the left.

    I was just looking at your personal information on your sidebar. Gosh! Similar to mine in age, occupation and children (except I have a son and daughter) and we've been married for 50 years in January of next year.
