Some photos from the Freeman Patterson/André Gallant New Brunswick Workshop

These are a few of my photos taken at the Freeman Patterson/André Gallant workshop I attended last week in New Brunswick.

We stayed in a lovely inn in St. Martins on the Bay of Fundy.

Three of these photos are from areas very close to the inn - two are taken at Freeman's home on Shamper's Bluff about an hour from the inn.

The first and fourth are close-ups of plants in Freeman's garden.

The second, also taken at Freeman's home, looks out over his property to the St. John river. The lupins in the foreground are just a few of the ones on his property and they seem to grow virtually everywhere in this part of New Brunswick.

Photo three is an attempt to capture the fog moving in on the land in the distance, The "beach" area in the foreground will be under water at high tide.

The fifth photo is taken at a fishing boat docking area near the inn. The tide is out so the mud bottom and residual water is visible in the foreground. The upper part of the photo shows the breakwater and a glimpse of the gap in the breakwater where the boats enter and leave when the tide is in. Any boats at the warf when this photo was take are sitting on the bottom, about 10 or 15 feet (my estimate) below where they will be when the tide is in.
