 James Sidney and Don Martel       Fall  2006  Oct  9th ~ 14th

Come and listen to the sands ‘sing’; they have a new song.. a magnificent venue located on the Bruce Peninsula, reaching the shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in beautiful Northern Ontario. 


We will settle into our workshops before most tourists have arrived. The rugged coastline of Georgian Bay and the flats of Lake Huron will provide ample shooting material and spectacular morning and evening mists; a truly unique place, geographically
