  • 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.

Barefoot is the most common term for not wearing footwear. Barefootedness is not regarded as unusual in many domestic environments, but is subject to criticism in public spaces in many urban environments.

  • 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.

  • High angle image of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) at night.<br />
<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.

  • When I walk out to Thunder Bay’s Cascades Conservation Area, I’m taken by the millions of years of story under my hiking shoes. The complex geological rock formations speak to a chapter of history in every direction.<br />
<br />
To my senses, it’s the Disneyland of shape, colour, texture, sound, movement, and story. It’s really a magical paradise, not of Walt’s design, but of Mother Nature.<br />
<br />
It’s simply beautiful. <br />
<br />
In this rather stark rock formation photograph, multiple hues of brown are everywhere. If you look closely you’ll witness erosion, rock depression, water, life, time and different types of rock. In upcoming photographs I’ll share a multitude of colour.<br />
<br />
Three hours of shooting feels like three minutes… until I realize I’m fatigued and thirsty from photographing in the afternoon summer sun.<br />
<br />
Part of the Canadian Shield, Cascades 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.

  • "I WONDER IF THE SNOW LOVES THE TREES AND FIELDS THAT IT KISSES THEM SO GENTLY?” <br />
<br />
“And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'"<br />
<br />
- Lewis Carroll<br />
<br />
This quote by Lewis Carroll is something. It speaks of winter’s longevity. It alludes to rejuvenation, for by the time summer has arrived spring has already passed. And with it, brought new life nurtured by the warmth of the sun which will come to a close with the autumnal equinox.<br />
<br />
This photograph, which I reinterpreted today, captures the beauty of the ice storm which hit Central and Eastern Canada in December 2013. I remember how icy the hill was. So icy in fact, I crouched down in a squat, hugged my camera to my stomach, and used my other hand to keep myself upright as I slid down a hill of ice to reach a point where I could photograph this scene. <br />
<br />
It ended being a lot harder to climb back up the hill!  But well worth the effort.

What a sight. It was August. One of the hottest summer months in Western Canada. Flying over the peaks and valleys of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, it was a scene of ice and snow.<br />
<br />
Photographed in 2015, revamped Feb 2022, one has to wonder how climate change has affected these Rocky Mountain peaks. If I fly over western Canada this August, I’ll be sure to photograph them.
