Captured this striking moment of a freighter gracefully passing under the imposing lift bridge on the Welland Canal in Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada. The impressive steel structure, coupled with the freighter’s grand presence, highlights the marvels of engineering and the vibrant life of this crucial waterway. The brilliant blue sky and lush greenery frame the scene, blending human ingenuity with nature’s charm in perfect harmony.

My Optimism of Color Blog
Every Tuesday and Friday, I post a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.
Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
