Two weeks ago the London Photo Walk took a road trip down the road to Port Stanley, Ontario. Heading out that afternoon I was happy to see that it was a generally nice day without any wind in sight.  I must admit though that I was a little ‘worried’ that because of the location (outside of London) and the winter weather that the turnout for February’s photo walk might not be that good.  Well I have to say that I was impressed.

With about 15 people turning out and a bunch of new faces, the London Photo Walk explored Port Stanley, Ontario and took some great shots.  Although the terrain was a little wetter than I had thought it would been, we went up and down the beach, walked in and around the harbour and some of us had the chance to grab a bit to eat afterwards at what appeared to be the only restaurant open in the evening, The Buccaneer.

There certainly is something that is intriguing about heading to a location that typically is visited only during the summer months and capturing the beauty of it on a nice winter’s day. Some great pictures were taken during the day and everyone I spoke to seemed to enjoy the location.

One thing I want to note is that the London Photo Walk isn’t just about walking and taking photos, its about helping those who might happen to get their pickup truck stuck on a mound of snow in a deserted parking lot where ‘luckily’ the London Photo Walk just happened to be.

Before we even started walking on that day we managed to help someone get their truck unstuck in the parking lot, then we watched him drive around the parking lot trying not to get re-stuck.  We figured we should help out as we would expect others to do the same for us.

Stay tuned for the details of the March  photo walk, we hope to have them in the next week or so.

Oh, and remember, April’s photo walk will be the 1 year anniversary of the London Photo Walk and we will be heading back into East London for our walk.
