A Hazy Shade Of Winter

Blustery winds blowing the waves onto the north shore of Lake Eire.

Walking The Dog

It was no secret that I was photographing him and his dog.
So the kid turned into a theatrical actor and made this a fun event.

You Have Mail

After being delivered the mail still has a long trek to the front door.

Ellicot Cemetery

Continuation from yesterdays post. Ellicot Cemetery, which is also the Bethel Church burial ground. The old Bethel Church was torn down in 1902. There are currently only four headstones in the cemetery, some of them having disappeared over time.

Winter Graveyard

This is an old, old cemetery that no one visits, except for me when I am looking for something to photograph.

Monday Night

I am on the inside looking out at my neighbour and his car troubles.

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas and may you live a long and happy life filled with goodwill and friendship.

Cheers!

Ice storm going on outside, so things are quiet on the inside.

Old Fashion Energy

When I was kid using nature to dry the laundry was a common sight. It has since become a rarity.

Car On A Pedestal

I have photographed this scene before but I decided it was time for a revisit.

Dec. 21 - First Day Of Winter

This was the scene on December 5. Since then the water has froze, the temperatures have dropped considerably and the snow has arrived.

Hanging Out At The Mall

One of the regulars at the mall.

Monday Night

This is one shell of a station.

Blast From The Past

If you grew up in the greatest generation you will know what this is. 

My Window View Today

Oh the weather outside is frightful
 But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Standing on the corner waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

Kingston Penitentiary

Kingston Pen, opened in 1835. Citing aging infrastructure and rising maintenance costs, the federal Government had it shuttered in 2013. For a while, its fate seemed uncertain until the infamous maximum security facility reopened for tours.

Most of the cells have been stripped, but several have been reconstructed with bunk beds and televisions equipped with video-game consoles. Originally, the cells were designed to be single occupancy.

Prisoners’ handwriting can still be seen on the walls.

It had a long history of housing protective custody inmates who needed protection from other prisoners, largely because their crimes. Child molesting and rape put them at the bottom of the prison social order. They would be killed if housed with regular convicts. Two sex offenders were tortured and murdered by fellow cons in a riot in 1971

Side By Side

I found these two at the marina beside the recycle boxes.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

We ended up with 15 cm. of snow

Monday Night

This photo should also be titled Condo Construction #12. It belongs with my continuing photo project with it's start as hole in the ground to a 19 story building. Most of the work is finished on the outside but there is still a lot to do on the inside. Each completed floor gets lights on over night. I am looking forward to when the whole building is lit up from top to bottom. It should be an awesome sight. 

Skyward

This is a lucky shot. I just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald Houses provide families of sick children with a home to stay at while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital. The first Ronald McDonald House open in Philadelphia, inspired by Kim Hill, a little girl who was battling leukemia.

Condos - The Shape of Things to Come

Is this a sign of what is likely to become the lifestyle in the future?

Construction + Art

Originally I was just going to photograph the mural. I changed my mind and included the road work of a major water main replacement. 

After The Harvest

While corn for grain is the third largest grain crop in Canada (after wheat and canola), it ranks as the number one crop in Ontario in terms of production.

Touring

Best way to see a city is via a sightseeing bus. Toronto is recognized as one of the most multicultural cities in the world

Monday Night

I am a early riser so I decided to take a few photos of people driving to work. 

Man On The Street

The Thinker

Public Transit

Depending on what part of world you are in there are various names for these vehicles. Trolley, tram, Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) etc. In the City Of Toronto if you say "streetcar" everyone knows what you mean.
