Donna and DonDon

filmed at the wedding of Nick and Mabelle, June 9th, 2012.

"countdown" from the past

 

 

An essential accessory  for pre-1970 cameras without built-in self timers. Countdown was as long as 20 seconds. Found this as I was going through potential garage sale items. Paid $12.99, a fortune esp. since I was earning $5/hr at the time back in 1978. Shown mounted on a Miranda Sensorex.

Response I got when I asked these two gentlemen as to why the blue suits? Only in Guelph, eh? Gordon Street, July 20th.

Artwork in the middle of an abandoned quarry in the Guelph Hills

It is an on old shelter that has been given a makeover. It sits in the old quarry that used to be worked on by the inmates of the long-gone Guelph Reformatory. It is the source of stone for most of the Guelph homes. It sits near the Eramosa River and is accessible from the aptly-named Stone Road. It is a favoured place for folks who feel they don't belong to and not accepted by the rest of society. The sheer cliffs is a favourite for climbers and adventurers. The area is now overgrown with scrub trees but still there remains a haunting presence that demands respect from whomever approaches the area. 

I love this place!
