Tonight's the Night - Will Everything be All Right?

We wonder if Tonight's the Night when everything will be all right. There's a 2016 Election Countdown Clock online.  It tells me it is not available at my location.  The headlines below it want you to click on sites based on these tantalizing headlines.  Which one would you choose to look at?  Math Trick to Win any Lottery (7-time Lotto winner spills the beans) 20 Photos that Donald Trump didn't want released to the Pubic Hillary Clinton's leaked IQ will shock you! Trump's IQ will shock you! Another countdown site had this teaser headline: Stephen Hawking's prediction shocked everybody You can find the article here. Stephen Hawking's 'prediction' isn't about the election but that 'we can now access 100% of the brain'.  We are to order our supply of Focus Nutra Intellgex to make it happen. Our pictures today are of the scenery along Locust Lane with the Hidden Bench vineyard.  Then we stop at the Mike Weir winery to see the Toronto skyline across the lake.

Skies Count

What a difference a week makes - Niagara had beautiful colours yesterday - golden yellows were in abundance on the escarpment. What I noticed was the difference the sky makes in a photography.  Look at the top two - same view at Locust Lane (Hidden Bench winery) towards the Lake, which can just barely be seen in the background.  The first image has more emotional appeal with the clouds 'pulling' the trees upward. Our second comparison is the tree that I've been photographing on Moyer Road, in Vineland, where Vineland Estates is located.  The second image seems to have greater appeal - with the clouds higher on the horizon, giving the tree room in the landscape to be fully appreciated.

View From Above

I went out to see the Autumn colours yesterday.  I started at Beamer Park up on the escarpment.  The park is an example of a preserved Carolinian forest here in Ontario, and has excellent views out across the region.  The view in this picture is towards Niagara Falls, and one can see its high rises. The winds have been blowing the colours off the trees so there isn't the show that one might like for photographs.  And as the winds blew and blew, a storm blew in. The last picture is at Locust Lane, where the Hidden Bench barn is located, and looks out over the Lake. While the Lake is in this picture, there's no Toronto floating on the horizon today. Dezi and I arrived home just in time for the rain to start.
