Nice captures here, Don. The angles and crops work for these. So does your personal style of pp. Well done. Like #3 the best.

Hi Don .. what struck me immediately about the third was how, in 1919, Canadian folk were conscious of their Britishness.

Cheers

in 1919, Canadians were British citizens.

Don .. I know. In fact I was born in Canada myself but left when I was 4. I don't "feel" Canadian, never really having known it, but for a time I actually had both a Canadian and a British passport. I suppose I could still get a Canadian one if I wanted it.

i like the 1st pic...the fence gives it a abstract feeling of distortion. I think you over sharpened a bit

I just came to Canada in 1974. Canada hadn't patriated the consitution yet. It was still in England. But Canada was an independent nation. I have dual US and Canadian citizenship. However, if I were to cross the border, it's easier to show my Canadian passport than my US passport.

I do tend to oversharpen. Thanks, JK
