Lakeside Pleasures

I was fortunate to have a number of windsurfers sign model releases. I also removed corporate logos and some design off the sail to make it generic. It is fun to watch these guys in action.

This man was so gracous and friendly - and so fit. I hope he won't mind ... but he shared with me that he is 67 years old. He sails like the best of the younger surfers.

Barrie, Ontario - lots of picnic tables and benches along the waterfront to enjoy the blue hour as you watch the cityscape light up across the bay. You can see the Barrie Waterfront Fountain to the left.

Happy July 1st Canada

Today is Canada Day - July 1. I've just arrived home from a day of event photography. I have lots of fun shots to share over time.

Canada Day, formerly Dominion Day, is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three British colonies into a single country, called Canada, within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day, the name was changed in 1982, the year that Canada gained full independence from the United Kingdom.

Eight

The eight locks of the Rideau Canal. Ottawa, Ontario.

8 locks
Lift: 24.1 m or 79 ft
Time to get through locks: 1.5 hours

The Rideau Canal is North America's oldest operating 19th-century canal. Most of the locks are still cranked open by old-fashioned muscle power. The original purpose of the Rideau Canal was to provide a safe supply route between Montreal and the Great Lakes in case of attack by the United States. The canal was one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century requiring the construction of 24 dams and 46 locks. The area was a wilderness when the Canal was built -- despite the northern climate, many of the workers died from malaria in the mosquito-infested swamps.
At the Ottawa River end of the Canal, head engineer, Lieutenant Colonel John By, founded a community called Bytown. It later changed its name to Ottawa and became the Capital of Canada. In the winter, the Ottawa portion of the Canal is made into a gigantic skating rink, the longest in the world.
