While I am not able to photograph every day let alone once per week, this will be where I post my 2015 shots. I will try to use the 52 photos themes as much as possible.

This is the Delaware Canal and its Towpath. The name is misleading because this is located in Pennsylvania, but it is the towpath and the Delaware Canal--lots of its length runs parallel to the Delaware River.

This one is suitable for the Landscape theme:

Nice photo, Hark.
We're have just about the same weather here in Ct. I'm finding it a challenge just to pick up the camera to take a shot. I find absolutely nothing interesting nor inspiring about snow.

I can't stand this weather although I'm sure we haven't been quite as hard hit as some of you who are located north of me. My main reason was I wanted photos of trees with snowy branches--something I rarely take. When I went out to run an errand, the scenes were so beautiful that it inspired me to run home and grab my camera. Usually by the time I get out, the snow looks dingy with lots of footprints. ;)

You North Carolina folks aren't supposed to deal with cold, snow, and ice! ;) Stay safe!

I posted this earlier this afternoon but needed to lighten it slightly. This shot of the canal is from a completely different vantage point about 1/2 mile away from the first.

A little history on the canal: it is man made and covers 60 miles. It runs parallel to the Delaware River and was designed to move goods between Easton, PA and Bristol, PA. Originally the goods were moved by mule-drawn barges. I'm not sure if New Hope, PA offers rides on the barges (they did at one time), but I don't think the canal is used to move goods anymore. It is a great place to find photo ops for wildlife and landscapes.

Quite often there are people walking, jogging, or riding bikes along the towpath.

Today I tested a lens originally purchased for my Nikon N70 and N90s--with a CP filter attached. It is a Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8D (constant aperture). Here is the SOOC jpeg only resized for the forum:

And here is the same jpeg with tweaks in Bridge, a slight crop in PCC, and resized:
