The last two Photo Walks that the London Photo Walk has put together have been in and around the University of Western Ontario. With students now gone and some flowers starting to bloom many photo walkers have been able to capture some fantastic images.
The first of these photo walks was back on May 2nd, 2010 in conjunction with Jane’s Walk London. Although only a small number of people came out for this walk (primarily due to the poor weather forecast and short notice) a good time was had by all and some interesting shots resulted.
We ended up heading into the forest behind Bresica University College, a place where I had never been before, and experienced nature it all of it’s glory right inside London, Ontario. Some hills, a few Trilliums and a whole lot of trees, this walk was a calming and peaceful one and helped each of us to get re-acquainted with mother nature.
I very much enjoyed this walk.
The second of our walks at the University was on Mother’s Day May 9th, 2010, in conjunction with PodCamp London.
Worried about the cold weather (which I did not dress properly for) and it being Mother’s Day we were unsure about who would be able to attend but we were not disappointed with the showing. Roughly 20 people showed up, many new-comers to the London Photo Walk and many came with their mothers and daughters, which was a nice sight to see.
Although we called it quits after slightly more than an hour (the cold was too much to bear for those of us who did not dress properly) everyone seemed to have a good time and get some great shots while out in the cold.
We hope to return to the University later in the year, perhaps when the weather is a little warmer, a few more flowers are out and perhaps with a tour guide.
Thanks to everyone for coming out for these past walks and stay tuned for information regarding the upcoming June walk.
bike path back to the seminary. This is a 3KM walk but only 2KM is really pretty. So bring comfortable walking shoes and water! We will be going during the evning for some really nice light. Points of intrest are the Seminary it’self, the courts behind the seminary, and the river. So here are all the details in short, see the map above for the route.
