I have chosen five photographs (three previous and two new ones) and have written cut-lines for them. Some are fictional, while others are my attempt to make the ordinary seem news-worthy.
The ring pictured is apart of a touring museum exhibit titled 'The Last Great Warriors'. The ring was discovered in a Viking burial ground nearly a decade ago, and is one of several pieces of fine jewelry. They are believed to belong to a king's wife, and are all handcrafted by the king. The jewelry is still in mint condition, and are truly stunning. The exhibit will continue touring for the remainder of the year.
Nicole Busby, age 9, takes advantage of this weekend's glorious weather to explore the tide pools on Newcastle Island with her brother Peter and family (not pictured).
A football lies abandoned in a leaf-littered park. The fierce storms this past week have resulted in power-outages, and have left residents cold and without light. Rains have flooded water ditches, and are leaving streets flooded. Many residents have barricaded themselves behind sandbag barriers and are waiting out the storms.
'Lipstick on Purple' is one of nearly three dozen pictures on display at the Modern Art Gallery this month. The exhibit is titled 'Simple', and features the works of photographers all over North America. Every photograph captures something we would consider ordinary and shows it in a new and exciting light. Based on the popularity of this exhibit, it may become a permanent part of the Modern Art Gallery.
The view, above, from an abandoned bridge in the Foothills. The Foothills was designed to be a luxury, ocean-view housing development in the Upper Lantzville area. Construction began nearly two years ago, with dynamite crews blasting through rock, and trees were cut down by the dozens. The company behind the Foothills' creation went bankrupt in March of last year. Now, all that remains are lot numbers, cleared roads, and bridges.
