Canada: Ontario

Vast lakes, slow-moving forests, and a horizon that never quite settles — Ontario in autumn feels like a place suspended between seasons. Colours fade gently, mist lifts from quiet shorelines, and small towns unfold with an unhurried sincerity. Captured with a single camera and a fixed focal length lens, this series follows the province’s calm transitions: wide water, soft light, and roads that drift into open distance.

Moments of intensity appear and fade — the force of Niagara Falls dissolving into drifting spray, the quiet streets of Cambridge carrying echoes of stories filmed elsewhere, the charged brightness of an evening hockey game. And at day’s end, the lakes fall into muted gold and blue, the last light settling over still water.

Ontario reveals itself in these shifts between quiet and spectacle, movement and pause — a landscape shaped by depth, rhythm, and the lingering warmth of early fall.
