Signs, Signs - No Airport

Andy | Wednesday, August 31, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips

When the Ontario provincial government stated it would not build the roads or sewers needed to service the site, the plans were shelved in 1975. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.




The proposal has never gone away and recent announcements have suggested that there is still a possibility it will be built. This is a newer sign that has been showing up as the fight continues.

Behind The Camera - 365 Days

Andy | Tuesday, August 30, 2011 | Best Blogger Tips

This is number seventy of my 365 day self photo project. I am taking a photo of myself for three hundred and sixty-five days. The photo only has to show part of my body. Even just including something as small as finger is fine. The propose of project is to give me experience at using my camera. I have also learned that it is difficult to think of different photos every day. Some days it's hard. One thing I have noticed is that my goofy personality is showing up (just like today's photo) in a number of my pictures. As of this posting I am up to number eighty-nine. I am linking to Tammy's Behind The Camera # 15.
