"Syringe and Needle"

 Just a first impression from the inside of the Michener Institute in Toronto. Sept.23rd, 2008.

"Changing Rivets"

 I always find it interesting sitting in the window seat of a plane. I do not like flying but try to keep myself engaged or should I say distracted and taking pictures can be a distraction. What I find kind of neat is how the plane shell changes color in various temperatures and lighting. This shot of the Jet Engine mount to the plane on the right wing and the horizon in the sky made it feel kind of surreal. None-the-less when I looked at the flight path and altitude on the TV thingy on the back of the seat in front of me we were at 38,869 ft travelling at 612 mph not that I was counting or anything but a long distance from the ground or the water for that matter and when we hit turbulence and the wing started to flex up and down I was hoping those rivets were nice and tight.

"Above The Sky, Beneath The Wing"

 On the way home from Toronto yesterday the sunset was spectacular from the plane and you can see part of New Brunswick beneath the wing as we were heading for a stop-over in Nova Scotia before going on to Newfoundland.

"Blending Sculpture"

A neat sculpture reflected the light from a building beside it. There are obviously and maybe not so obviously lots of reflections of light on structures in a city where light is channelled, funnelled and sometimes sparse and a lot of what you see is actually superimposed and other times only noticed by its reflecting of another bent shape.

"High-Rise Melt-down"

As i saw the reflection of one highrise in another, the one being reflected looked as if it was kind of melting. Though it was a nice day in Toronto it wasn't that nice. About plus 2 degress celsius. I just finished a book by Ken Follett called Pillars of The Earth and of course the book is designed around the construction of Cathedrals and as I walked around down town Toronto I too became captivated in a diferent light and understanding of how the many different Cathedrals around there were constructed. Made for some entertaining walks in an otherwise concrete jungle. Made me appreciate being by the ocean that is for sure.

"Another Rock"

Well I guess Gene Simmons doesn't have much to do with kayaking but his guitar is seen here at the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto where I ate on Tuesday night. I like eating at these cafes, music always sounds clearer for some reason in there. At anyrate Gene may not be a kayaker but his wife or should I say partner, (I don't think they are married) is a Newfoundlander. Little bit of "Rock Trivia".
