photography: Canal lachine

Got on the bike before sunrise so I could be further along my path when the sun came up. This lets me take morning light photos on some of the prettier parts of the bike trail outside the city.I have a light for the bike but it's not exactly the safest thing to do as the trails often have hard to see potholes and sometimes there are other cyclists without lights you can't see until they are about to hit you. Lately there isn't anyone else out there, which I prefer so this was pretty quiet and peaceful.

Do you need a boat to get to the other boat?

I love black and white and there was also still a light fog even an hour into my ride so I was able to capture some of that. You can see light rays coming through the trees in one of the photos. 

Aprt from the morning light, another reason I wanted to leave early was the last week the wind has been very light and the canal is often like a mirror.
