Summer in the Farm
Last week, in the Greyhound from Montreal airport to Ottawa, I stared at the window for the two hours’ long trip. I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the scenery. We drove that road many times, and yet it still appeals to me: Canada is beautiful.
Such a vast land. Such empty places between cities. Such as wild place at times. The light, the sky, the colors, everything looked vivid and alive. It was like being in a painting. Don’t get me wrong, Europe is beautiful too, but coming from cramped cities such as Paris, open spaces are fascinating.
A few days ago, I walked to the Experimental Farm, nearby our place, to try to capture the summer atmosphere.Can you believe it looked like that just six months ago? The clouds that day were low and looked quite cartoonish, and the colors were just amazing.
You can see the whole Ottawa Summer set here.

@Agnes — Thank you!
@Linguist-in-Waiting — It’s actually right in the middle of the city! This is quite unique in Ottawa.
@DianeCA — Yes, these poor trees are often wounded by staples and posters. The lens I used there is a basic 35–55 mm lens, with a shallow depth of field for some pictures.
@London Caller — I’ve heard Scotland were a very scenic place. I should go visit some day…
@John — Thank you! And yes, you are right of course, it’s in the middle of Ottawa. I can see why people who have never been there assume it’s in the middle of nowhere though!
haha zhu. when there is nothing to photograph, you take photographs of nothing. a wire. some gravel. a post. a staple. you are brilliant and funny. and somehow, you make nothing look amazing.
