Looking out my back door

More clouds, these viewed from my apartment balcony. The building bottom left houses my insurance broker, Scrivens.

This picture predates the rainbow below, but I've been busy Bluesfesting , among other activities, and have just gotten around to unmusical photographs just now.

I've been snapping a few sky pictures lately. This rainbow comes courtesy of Ottawa's recent wet weather. I snapped it sometime before Built To Spill's Bluesfest set.

Remarkably enough, none of the recent rain has delayed any shows.

Tremendous kaboom

Another Canada Day, another excuse to slow down the old shutter speed and capture lots of colourful explosions. Huzzay! You've already seen the first if you've just come from National Capital Rock.

And of course a big thanks to the lady in the latter four photos who decided to stand right in front of my camera. Provides a more interesting foreground, you know.
