In colour

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.

On the corner

A picture of a construction crane with the moon above, snapped between xbxrx at End Hits and the Cafe DeKcuf show for Harshey side projects.


Corner of Rideau and Dalhousie, Ottawa, April 21, 2007.

Should have brought my tripod.

Crash course

I've just been working up a few posts for the Mad Parish and Priestess show at Mavericks, so I might as well slap up a couple of pictures I took on the way home.

I think someone took too wide a turn ...

Up against the wall!

Babylon nightclub recently decorated their north wall with posters from the various shows they've held. Looks good. I'd decorate my own walls the same way, but hammering nails into the concrete is tricky.

The day after

Nov. 12 I went to see Julie Doiron and a few other folks perform at The Rainbow. I passed by the Cenotaph on my way back home and snapped this picture of the grave of the Unknown Soldier, decorated with poppies after Remembrance Day ceremonies.

The building in the background is the Chateau Laurier.

Hill overspill

I have a few leftovers from my Hill sojourn in May. Here's Lester P. Pearson , just chillin', albeit in statue form.
