Spectacular Images Of Water Photography....

For the Photosensitive project “Life of Water” photographers were asked to present pictures of water in all its various forms; the variety of images were surprising, to say the least!!

As humans we do many things with water, and we simply can't live without water. Water also brings us many simple joys and pleasure.

Firstly, a young boy skips stones in Pancake Bay, on the shore of Lake Superior.

Andy Clark captures a marvelous image of a tree reflected in a pool; Vancouver, British Columbia.

Water is beautiful in all its forms. Off the coast of Newfoundland, on Quirpon Island, icebergs melt into elegantly smoothed shapes. Icebergs can wander around the Arctic waters for a year or longer after they have calved from glaciers where they may have been ice for more than 10,000 years.

The black and white contrast in this image by Dick Loek captures the contours of the iceberg.

Just outside of Toronto, spring ice breaks up into large floating sheets that look like so many flagstones. This striking image was captured near the shoreline of Coronation Park, by Tony Makepeace.

Duane Prentice piled stones of clear ice into a beautiful inukshuk that symbolizes the fragility of our precious water resource.

Another striking image that is worth revisiting in this gallery is Wendell Phillips' distinct aerial photo of the pools of water on Spotted Lake, British Columbia. The lake's pools contain some of the world's highest concentrations of minerals. Although the picture is available in colour, the black and white contrast makes the water-rock pattern even more striking.

More images of beautifully frozen water. The ice hotel in Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, Quebec allows for unique images. The hotel needs to be rebuilt every year and is another uniquely Canadian interaction with ice that is threatened by climate change. The ice hotel features 19 rooms and includes an art gallery and a chapel.
