In reality, this picture is more real than augmented. One of the things I really loved about Canada’s national capital is the reflection of the old on the new. That is, glass buildings next to the historical structures. It makes for some very interesting shots. On a side note, when I renamed this “Special Project” to Augmented realities I didn’t know that that was already … Continue reading Augmented Realities #5 -Ottawa Reflections
With this post, I am instituting a new post category called Snippet. This is where I send you a short note about what I have been doing. With this snippet, I wanted to tell you I just added a new gallery over at MyViewOfTheWorld Photo site. I think you just might like it. It is from my 2011 month long trip up the St. Lawrence … Continue reading Snippet – Canadian Countryside @ MyView…
With this post, I am going to try to add more on-the-road trip reports here to RJsCorner. I thought this would be a good project for the 2017-18 winter months. The subject of this post is Ft. William in Thunderbay Ontario Canada which is on the north side of Lake Superior. It is in my top five historic sites I have ever visited. Here is … Continue reading On The Road – Ft William, Thunderbay Canada
I love to visit historic sites that have reenactors that is people who play roles of the historic event or site. Fort William in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada is one of my top ten in that category. Yes Canada is very much in my search for America…. Continue reading I Love Reenactors
I can’t help myself with this one… it is too funny to resist… It would be a very tough choice deciding which side of the wall I wanted to reside Continue reading Too Funny To Resist…
Spouting Off… Being Loud But Not Being Obnoxious One of the things I missed the most about my hiatus from RJ’s Corner is spouting off. It does the heart good to question everything and sometimes put forth a thought or two. I plan on doing that rather frequently in the future here on the new/improved blog so get used to it! :) I hear all … Continue reading How About…
You hear the weatherman talk about fronts all the time but I have never seen one as distinct as this one take in Ottawa Canada a few years ago. I wonder it is a northern exposure thing? Continue reading A Real Front…
I frequently complain about how cold it is here in southern Indiana but I know that further north is gets much colder. This pic was taken north of Ottawa Canada during a visit there four years ago. I don’t know how long the house has been unoccupied but it shows its age… Continue reading Canadian Winters…
When we visited our neighbors to the north in 2011 we came across many things that we had not seen before the this mural is one of them. The whole side of the building is a painting. It is all make-believe. I spent perhaps a half hour just taking it in. Click on the pic to see a larger view with more details…. Continue reading The Mind's Eye
Here is an interesting wind mill we found on an experimental farm in Canada a few summers ago. Surprisingly it is an as-is photo…. Continue reading Wind Mill
Nova Scotia, Canada I wanted to show you a picture of an old friend I made on our 2011 visit to our neighbors to the north. For some reason I connected with this old guy. Continue reading An Old Friend..
Ottawa, Ontario – Public Gardens It think today is the shortest, and therefore the darkest, day of the year so what is more appropriate than a field of daises. The public garden in Ottawa is a beautiful example of peace and tranquility. We visited there in 2011 during our one month vacation with our neighbors to the north…. Continue reading The Darkest Day…
Arrived in the Canada capital today. More sentiment here to be annexed by Mexico than by America. They know us too well. If we get any nation to join us it will have to be some stranger. We only have one reason for wanting Canada and a modification of the Volstead Act will eliminate it. Waiting instructions. Will Rogers — 11 October 1926. When we … Continue reading Canada and the Volstead Act…According to Will…
Here is a friend I met in New Brunswick Canada while we were there last summer. He didn’t have much to say but we seemed to make a connection :) Continue reading A Friend From Canada…
We got the great-nephew married yesterday and will be heading north in a few hours. It was an interesting few days visiting with the out-laws, I mean in-laws,but I am more than ready to get this vacation officially on the road. One thing I had forgotten about was the ferocious mosquitoes they have here in northern Wisconsin this time of year! I suppose they will … Continue reading On The Road — Canada here we come…
