After waiting for 15 minutes for the bar to pass from 0% to 5%, I had enough of it. I decided to go out and do something useful instead of staring at the progress bar. So when a group of friends organised a little outing, I jumped to the occasion.
The outing itself didn’t yield many photographs, but lots of laughs instead. Going out with the Manitoba Foto Friends (and friends) is always welcome.
All over the Internet one can see pictures of skies. From dark skies to clear skies and anything in between. Storm chasers seem to have the upper hand at this time of the year. I have been storm chasing with friends some time ago and had a great time. It’s a pleasure to be out in the middle of nowhere with people who know what they are talking about. A rare quality in this day and age.
I am not a storm chaser per se, but I do like the occasional chase. But sometimes, the chase only needs to go as far as down the road from the house. A panorama always seems to do cloud formations justice.
A story about toys, boy toys, techy toys, however you want to interpret this. The Austin Threshermen’s Reunion in Manitoba is an awesome place to be if you like steam engines and old motorized farm equipment. Last weekend I went with a friend to see this reunion for myself. I had heard of it before, but never really got the idea of going there.
As it turned out, it was not in the town of Austin in the first place. Not a sign in sight to point us in the right direction. Until we came across a tiny sign on the side of the road, saying “65th Reunion”. We decided to follow that route as there was nothing else in the area to follow.
When you go to a coastal area, be it on a lake, sea or ocean, chances are that you find things that are floating around. Or at least they were at some point in the past. We have spent about six days in Nova Scotia and fell in love with it.
Until now I am posting pictures from that trip and even blogging about it.
For people living far from any sea shore, the waves and the wind are kind of out of reach. Ocean shores do have something magical about them. There are immutable, yet always different when you visit them. Canada has thousands of kilometers (or even miles) of coastline, yet most people don’t have the enjoyment of them.
Like most countries in the world, the biggest cities are inland and away from the seas and oceans. People living there don’t get to enjoy the waves and the salty wind anymore. To counter that, here are some views of the Atlantic Ocean for you to enjoy.
