Stories and Memories

I had the pleasure of hanging out with my good friend Ken Bole last weekend, in his “basement bar” which contains his extensive and eclectic collection of objects, souvenirs and books. What I found fascinating about the collection was that each object represented a story and a memory, and to me at least the stories and memories are what are truly memorable. The objects themselves are receipts in a sense; evidence of a life richly led.

Around the Bend

One more on the theme of unused rail; this one is about a kilometre from the the railway bridge featured in a couple of recent posts.

Another View of the Railway Bridge

Here is another view of the railway bridge on the old CP line in the lower Don Valley, taken yesterday. I will definitely have to go back with colour film in the near future!

A Hole in the Fence

A hole in a fence made it easy to check out this disused railway bridge in the lower Don Valley yesterday.

Last of the Water Treatment Plant Series

One more of the water plant in the Beaches. I am really happy with how even without a filter, using Rollei Retro 80s film I can get contrast between sky and clouds.

Shrine?

Another image from the water treatment plant in the Beaches. To me it looked like a shrine.

Cat and Mouse With The Light

On Saturday morning this past weekend I back in the Beaches, “playing cat and mouse with the light” as I described it in a Facebook post. The light changed moment by moment, from mundane to magical and back again. This was one of the better moments πŸ™‚
