Happy Silly Tuesday, yes, but on a more serious note when Toronto had its last garbage strike it was the poor neighbourhoods that were used as temporary dumping areas. This popular basketball court was taken away without a moment's thought or public consultation. You can rest assured the wealthy parts of town weren't similarly affected.

Perhaps a not so happy ST ...

Twins! by beach

Posted on 2018-08-18

Our daughter and son-in-law are expecting twins. Spencer will have either two brothers, two sisters or one of each. We'll find out later. EXCITING! (Better than winning the Stanley Cup!) I put this little ditty together for them.

last masses of winter by Roger Rempel

Posted on 2018-04-10

the last ice masses of winter sit thawing in the spring sunshine near 7 sisters dam in manitoba, canada.
in about one month, it could be bikini weather at this location, so the change from spring to summer can take place quite quickly. at least for this year, we certainly hope it would hurry up a bit more!

this rare and spectacular species calls manitoba its favourite habitat. the pixelated bison can be seen every winter grazing on thick, tasty ice on the mighty red river -with this fella's herd ranging just south of the forks in winnipeg, canada. you can see just how thick the pixelated bison's graze ice can be... that crack beneath his feet has a white "shadow" along its length - this is the cross-section of a crack extending the full depth of the ice. the pixelated bison love it!

Taking photos along Lake Erie, Ontario in winter is an experience. It seems like you're on another planet!You just stand there in awe and gaze at its beauty! Without the sun it looks desolate but when the sun is shining it takes your breath away!!

Most of Wendy's flowers have finished for the season. A few yellow and red roses are still trying to bloom, but now we just have to cut back, divide some perennials, and rake the leaves...again. But I love fall.

Something Coming by Damon Schreiber

Honest Ed's bargain store (previously featured here has been torn down, and something new is coming to take its place. Maybe I should post more shots of Honest Ed's from when it still was standing. I probably have a few interesting shots.

Anyway, I liked the cranes here. I seem to have a thing for them.

Poison Hemlock by Elaheh

Posted on 2018-06-16

I am really in love with these wonderful flowers... they are very beautiful under the sunshine. They make me feel happy and grateful.
After a research I found out the name of this plant is poison-hemlock which can be fatal if just a small amount is ingested.
Lucky me, I don't have a habit of eating flowers whenever I see a beautiful one!
But in my country (Iran) we do have a habit of brewing some special flowers. I thought its a good idea to educate people who don't know about this plant.

Paul in 1977 by Phil Morris

Posted on 2018-05-07

I found this other portrait I did of paul when I had been commissioned to do some
pictures of Paul and his sister. This image I used a Tiffen Fog Filter #3, and then
I had to further soften all the edges as the negative has deteriorated quite a bit.
The negs will have to go soon as the deterioration is getting bad. I suppose that
some negatives last longer. It depends on who developed the negatives for me.
I usually sent the negatives out for developing while I printed my own b&w photos.

icy chunks and curtains by Roger Rempel

Posted on 2018-04-09

since spring is a tad late this year... and cabin fever may set in, it was time for a stroll in front of the 7 sisters hydro-electric dam in late spring. this scene reveals a vast array of icy chunks and curtains. these are quite blinding in the bright sun, and many of these ice chunks are the size of small cars. the ice brings very interesting detail in cross section. the icy curtains are a few storeys tall.

After The Flood by Rick

Couples enjoy the onset of nightfall from Toronto Island, finally in the aftermath of serious flooding that occurred earlier this year (hence the sandbags), in which many residents were affected and it seemed for a time they would lose their island homes.

Towering Falls by Steven

Posted on 2017-10-11

This was my first time seeing Niagara Falls and was amazed by its sheer power. I was then amazed to get a different PoV and notice people standing at the base of the Falls and noting the sheer scale of it. I had to capture this. This was a particularly windy day and many of the spectators got soaked by the blowing mist. We went down there on a later date when the wind took the mist in the opposite direction and kept us fairly dry.

The current condo tower trend is to have odd angles and off center design elements. It breaks up the monotony of identical skyscraper mentalities, and thus I do not mind.

Ellie's Birthday by Elaheh

Today is my birthday!

Now I'm 28.
Although I feel my soul is 48, I can rejoice watching butterflies and the beautiful details of the world, from an eyes of an 8 years old kid!
.
Though I'm tired of my big mistakes, I'm kind of happy that I've made them, as we can learn strangely profound matters from our horrible mistakes...
And... I strongly believe in the existence of the good things. Because I have faith. That's why I'm still alive and I like to be!

Enigma by Phil Morris

Posted on 2017-01-26

B&W sepia toned photo, then using Dr. Martin's Airbrush watercolours which I used to paint the B&W image. A drop of red, half yellow and 2 sepia with water for the face paint, it can be applied either with a long q tip type stereo cleaner, but not a q-tip as it can easily scratch. It can be applied by an airbrush and small lines of the eyelashes with a 00 paint brush.

Reworked eyebrows, lashes, lips, in effect I use a lot of Hollywood retouch procedures in a more modern method at this time.
