Hedgerows
Autumn Glory- Mono Cliffs 

This aerial photograph was taken from a single engine light plane about 45 minutes after the dawn of an October morning.  The trees were at the height of their autumn colour display


This is a rift in the Niagara Escarpment (a geologic feature left behind by the retreating glaciers about ten thousand years ago) it is north of Toronto Ontario.
One morning a few autumns ago my pilot friend Jim, bundled a bleary eyed photographer, into a small chilly single engine plane. It was misty cold morning towards the end of October. We took off, just as dawn broke and by the time we were 500 feet in the air I was no longer sleepy, I was enthralled. Below me was were thee farmlands and hills of Southern Ontario painted with the colors of fall and wrapped here and there in a mist filled with long shadows cast by the rising sun. 

The view was breathtaking, and I captured many photographs in the next hour and a half that are the best I have ever taken.  

Here in a small valley, in the Caledon Hills, the fog, illuminated by the low sun gave a modern cluster of building a mysterious look, as if we were looking down into an ancient landscape, from hundred of years in the past. 

We watched in awe as the sun broke the horizon  painting the morning mist golden pouring its radiance over fields and through autumn’s painted trees gently waking the land still wrapped in the wisps of last nights dreams
The Angel Appears

When I took this photo I had no idea that it would become proof? that angels exist. Look in the window.

Autumn Glory- Mono Cliffs 

Later in the flight,  after the fog had been dissipated by the rising sun new wonders appeared and this aerial photograph was taken on the same October morning.  The trees were at the height of their autumn colour display.

Hedgerows and Hay Bails
AS we were on our way back to the airport we passed over farmers fields. Here you can see the bails of Hay that had been recently bundled.
