Great Ball Of Fire


There are a whole lot of new words that we use on a daily basis that were never really part of our vocabulary before.  Not a day goes by that we don't hear about self-isolation, quarantines or social distancing.  I was out on the road late last week when I noticed the sun setting by the Jacques Cartier Bridge.  As I passed by, it looked as if the sun was trapped inside the structure.  So, with an image in my mind and my gear now in the car, I returned two night later to see if I could get my shot.  Right on time, the sun began to drop from the sky and tucked itself right in the middle of the steel structure.  Almost as if it was quarantining itself from the sky.  I sent the shot off to CTV Weather Specialist Lori Graham and next thing I knew, it was on the noon newscast.    The photograph was taken at f/16, 1/500sec, ISO 100 at 200mm.  Thanks once again to Lori Graham and the gang down at CTV Montreal for airing my photograph.  The Heir Apparent was very happy to see her Dad's name on the television screen.
