Niagara Falls

Taken on a cold, stormy day on the Canada side of the falls. My sister and I were hoping that it would be a warm, sunny day so we could take some really "potentially" fantastic pictures, but this is what I got. I'm not sad about it, and we had a great time. This was the very last stop on my trip, it seemed fitting to end it where it began.

Mill St. Brewery

Taken outside of Mill St. Brewery. A wonderful selection of hand crafted beer, but my favorite by far was the Coffee Porter. I bet you didn't see that one coming. This area in the picture was used for more of an employee smoke break, but I found it wonderful.

If you are ever in Toronto, you must visit The Distillery District. If you haven't gotten enough clues from me that I loved it, then well, stick around as I'm sure I'll post more pictures of it.

Lake Ontario Shoreline

This was taken near Humber River Parkway, at the wake of Lake Ontario. The Humber River exits into Lake Ontario and they have created a beautiful parkway for public use which includes a walking and biking trail. It was freezing cold on the day I was here, made so by the wind. Not one of my favorite pictures based on the quality, but it is good for the memory.

R to the OB

I hope he doesn't mind me putting this up here, but this is one of the first times I have done a "real" photo shoot. This was taken in Weber Canyon.

Green Door

This picture was taken in Canada, inside The Distillery District.

Walkway

This is a picture I took when I went to Canada to visit my sister. This is one of the first places we went, and my first introduction to Niagara Falls.

Sunset

"There I would often lie, as the sun went down, and watch the silent growth of another sea, which the stormy ocean of the wind could not disturb - the sea of the darkness. First it would begin to gather in the bottom of hollow places. Deep valleys, and all little pits on the hillsides, were wellsprings where it gathered, and whence it seemed to overflow, till it had buried the earth beneath its mass, and, rising high into the heavens, swept over the faces of the stars, washed the blinding day from them, and let them shine, down through the waters of the dark, to the eyes of men below." George MacDonald, The Portent

Rocks

"Rocks are our world. The planet Earth is, essentially, just one big interesting rock, sometimes called "the third rock from the sun." The multi-faceted rock we live on supports life in many ways. The deep oceans, the vast deserts, and the high mountains, are just a few of the ways rock emerges and supports life.

Rocks remember. Geology is the science and study of the earth and its life, especially as recorded in rocks. Rocks, then, keep record of the passage of time and the evolution of living things." The Franklin Institute
