Thanks to Chris Baldwin for leading and Donna Currie for support this walk is back on. sorry for the confusion!

The London Photowalk Group is back again this year for another World Wide Photowalk! This year we will be exploring the beautiful Gibbons park and surroundings during the golden hours. This is a very large park so we will have lots of room for our 50+ participants (if we count on last years numbers).

Gibbons park is situated on the edge of the thames with a beautiful walking bridge, shore side access, lots of trees, a splash pad and pool, and of course many geese and ducks ready to be photographed!

So here are the details!

Gibbons Park World Wide Photo Walk
Date: Saturday July 24th
Time: 7:00PM – 9:00PM
Where: Gibbons Park Splash Pad Parking Lot
Route: Walking through the park with a stint into a historic neighborhood then back down through the north end of the park. See RED on map.

You need to register to be a part of the Wordl Wide Photowalk, and it is open to 50 ppl. However just as we did last year we do not limit the amount of ppl who can come. So come anyways if you dont get registered. However if you do get registered you are entered into the World Wide Photo Walk photo contest!

So we hope to see all of you out, and dont forget to Register!

Here was the wining photo for London, Ontario from last years WWPW by Jason Parreira:

On May 23rd, 2010 I had the opportunity to head out with a small number of photo walkers for an Impromptu Photo Walk.

Beginning in Watson Park, off of Wellington Road at the Thames River, we headed East along the multi-use pathways, North on Adelaide Street and then back West passing by the South Street hospital. From the moment we started at 8am until when we finished around 10am the morning fog was out and made for some great shots.

I really enjoyed this walk as it was one that I probably wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I passed the area off as being ‘boring’ and typical, but having Chris Baldwin organize the walk in this area helped me to remember that all areas of London have something to offer, and the London Photo Walk is about exploring and celebrating these areas.

On this walk I was able to find an elevated train crossing, the location to where Flagswipe Paintball moved to years ago, some abandoned buildings and other fun stuff. I even managed to find a Red Chair before the walk began.

The people that came out for this walk were great as usual and the morning couldn’t have been better for a leisurely stroll along the Thames River.

It is the “low key” walks such as this one that I find the most rewarding. I am not sure why this is the case but when I return from them I always feel like I have a better appreciation for the Photo Walk, the people who I am with and London, Ontario in general.

Remember to check out the next scheduled photo walk in the Huron Woods.
