  • Mechanized thrill machines are what makes an amusement park out of a pastoral, relaxing picnic grove or retreat. Earliest rides include the carousel which was originally developed as a way of practicing and then showing-off expertise at tournament skills such as riding and spearing the ring. By the 19th century, carousels were common in parks around the world. Another such ride which shaped the future of the amusement park was the roller coaster. Beginning as a winter sport in 17th century Russia, these gravity driven railroads were the beginning of the search for even more thrilling amusement park rides. The Columbian Exposition of 1893 was a particular fertile testing ground for amusement rides. The Ferris wheel is the most recognized product of the fair.

  • The Behemoth roller coaster of Canada's Wonderland, Toronto.<br />
<br />
Behemoth is a steel roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It is a hypercoaster designed and developed by Swiss manufacturer, Bolliger & Mabillard. Behemoth was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Canada until 2012 when Leviathan, a roller coaster also manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, was built at the opposite side of Canada's Wonderland. Behemoth is similar to Diamondback (Kings Island), Goliath (La Ronde) and Nitro (Six Flags Great Adventure).<br />
<br />
After a year and a half of preparation and development, Behemoth premiered in May 2008. With its high speeds, tall heights and rapid changes in both direction and elevation, the attraction is one of the most aggressive thrill rides in the park.<br />
<br />
The ride features a prototype seating arrangement to ensure an unobstructed view for every rider – a first for a roller coaster of this type. The Behemoth experience lasts for approximately three minutes and subjects the rider to a maximum speed of 124 km/h (77 mph) achieved in less than 3.9 seconds followed by five air-time hills, a hammerhead turn and two helixes.

<br />
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), also known as "The Ex", is Canada's largest annual community event.  <br />
<br />
Founded in 1879, as the Toronto Industrial Exhibition, the CNE has enjoyed a distinguished history as a "showcase of the nation".  It was "the place" where people came to experience the latest innovations in technology and commercial products as well as performances by many of the leading artists of the time.  Although the CNE has changed over the years, it continues to be one of Ontario's great annual traditions. <br />
<br />
The CNE is currently one of the 10 largest fairs in North America, and its audience truly reflects the diversity of Toronto and the region.  <br />
<br />
In 2014, the CNE attracted 1.43 million visitors over the 18 days of the fair.

  • THE SAME STREAM OF LIFE.<br />
<br />
I’ve always loved this poem by Rabindranath Tagore.<br />
<br />
"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night & day runs through the world & dances in rhythmic measures. <br />
<br />
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass & breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves & flowers. <br />
<br />
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."<br />
<br />
I discovered Rabindranath Tagore about the same time I made this photograph. I love how the waves gracefully flow atop the ocean’s surface; how they attract the sun’s light. Water and light: two elements essential to life. I recall sitting in a small boat on the Pacific Ocean, thinking how visceral the moment was. How the sun and water accommodated my existence. It was incredibly beautiful.

  • I’m assuming there really was a reason to post this sign. To me, it seems obvious it’s the end of the road. Maybe the lesson is to sit straight when driving to ensure you have a clear view over the hood of the vehicle. So you don’t drive over a cliff and plunge into the ocean.<br />
<br />
Speaking of cliffs, the massive one across the bay showcases layer upon layer of colourful geological rock. Abandoned wind turbines of the former Kamoa Windmill Farm also caught my eye.

  • One can only imagine how this scene appeared hundreds of years ago. The visible layers of rock, probably laying flat, may have been hidden from view under the Earth’s surface. Mother Nature realigned the rock over time, pushing it up to the angle where it now sits. <br />
<br />
When surrounded by rock as far as the eye can see, it’s easy to overlook story before one’s eyes. I love the vast expanse of geological rock under my feet when exploring the area. There is a multitude of colour, life, shape, sound and texture. After a heavy rain fall, the smell of the surrounding forest is unmistakable.<br />
<br />
Part of the Canadian Shield, Cascades Conservation Area is but a sliver of the 8 million square km (3 million square miles) of rock spread over eastern, central, and northwestern Canada into the U.S.A.<br />
<br />
Cascades is a great choice for a quiet hike in the beautiful poplar and birch forest. Two highlights for many people is the spectacular rapids along the Current River and the various geological formations in the area.
