Camera Girl

I was photographing the coastline when this young lady came into view. I always get a feeling of uneasiness when I see someone walking on terrain like this while wearing flip flops on their feet. I've seen people
receive serious injury by not wearing the proper footwear.

Ghost Town - School Section #17

A brick schoolhouse in the Altona Ghost Town, built in the 1850's, fell victim to fire in 1909. The school that stands today in Altona is therefore of a much later period by nearly fifty years. In June 1909, a call for tenders was advertised for the erection of a new brick schoolhouse for Altona. The building was completed and opened in 1911. For the next fifty-five years the ‘new’ school served the community. Renovations to the basement were made in the early 1960's to accommodate a second school room, and a second teacher was hired. With the advent of the regional school boards, however, the school was closed in 1966 and the students were bused away from Altona. I'm Linking to Weekly Top Shot.

As the season is winding down, these people will grab every nice day they can before they are all gone.

Explorering

This is a continuation of yesterday's posting. I decided to explorer the rest of the property and here's a few items I discovered. What's left of the farm house is located about 300 feet from the barn.

**********************************************

These are not wagon wheels. They are large size spools use for holding cable.

**********************************************

The remains of a boat. I have plans to return soon. I want to see if there are any more interesting items to be found.

Barn Charm - Old Classic

Two turkey vultures sitting on top.

*****************************************

It wasn't fun pushing through the wet goldenrod but it was worth it to get closer for this shot.

*****************************************

This last photos shows the side with the main doors. This barn is abandoned and the land is slated for a housing subdivision.

American Beer

American beer has a different taste than Canadian beer. This is one brand beer that I like to drink in my travels to the U.S.A.

The Lonely Bench

Please... someone sit on me, I'm cold.

************************************************

This guy won't even look at me.

************************************************

Hey ladies! I'm over here!

What's the rush buddy?

A sailor that loves his Liberty.

I spotted this pickup truck in a Walmart parking lot and could not resist photographing it.

Construction Muscle

If I had a build like this I would walk around with no shirt.

Signs, Signs - Comic Book

I'm wonder who is having the most fun. The father or the son. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Resident Campaign Protects Home

A much-loved West Shore home will remain safe from developers after council voted to initiate a heritage designation for the building. Many residents spoke out about their love for the Georgian-style cottage at 560 Park Cres. during a four-hour discussion at a council meeting on April 16, where they presented more than 1,000 signatures in support of giving the home heritage designation, which would protect it from demolition. The home, built in the 1850's, is one of the last vestiges of an early Scottish settlement surrounding the hamlet of Dunbarton.

Blue Monday - Boothbay Harbor

Seen in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I'm linking to Blue Monday.

Sunday Bridges - Rickety

I spotted this bridge beside a motel I stayed in. It looks like it might have been used for photo ops.

************************************

It's so rundown that's it's not in use any more. I'm linking to Sunday Bridges.

Flower

This flower was peeking over a fence begging me to take a photo. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about flowers.

Weekend Reflections - Fiery

The reason for the red glow is that the sun was setting behind me. Having the shutter opened for twenty seconds is the reason for the hazy or fiery reflection. I'm linking to Weekend Reflections.

The Pickering Pioneer Family

Artist: Andred Drenters. This steel and copper sculpture of a man holding the former Town Of Pickering crest, a girl with a ball, a boy with a sail boat and woman with a goose, represents one of Pickering's founding farm families. Agriculture materials and symbols have been incorporated into the artwork. It was donated by Murray Stroud Law Office in 1989.

Signs, Signs - Computers

I'm sure we all have used the "F" word when we talk to our computer.

*************************************

They even have their own friggin parking spots. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Lost

It's not unusually when on hiking trails to find objects of clothing hanging on a branch. It's a courtesy that people have when they find lost articles of clothing. It also happens on the streets where I have seen hats, jackets or gloves left in an easy place for people to spot.

Mellow Yellow Monday - Hot Rod

When I first saw this hot rod sitting in the parking lot at the beach, I suddenly started to hear The Beach Boys music playing in my head. I'm linking to Mellow Yellow Monday

War Of 1812

On the 200 th anniversary of the War Of 1812 it's been a year of reenactments and displays in Canada and the United States.. I came across this gentleman on the Canadian side of Lake Erie. The weapon he is holding is a blunderbuss. It could be considered an early version of the shotgun.

On The Curb By 7 A.M.

Recycled waste are picked up once a week. It's is a big business in Canada.
As you can see, when it comes to photography, I'm having a brain freeze.
