Excerpt from www.thecounty.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Picton-Herita...:
Picton’s Harbour
The area covers the south and east edges of the Picton’s harbour and runs along Bridge Street. Buildings on the harbour originally served to support industry associated with shipping. As the transportation of goods shifted to land based methods, the once mercantile harbour has evolved to accommodate residential and recreational uses. There is a mix of residential and commercial buildings, as well as open space uses along the harbour. The harbour also functions as a tourist
destination with a boardwalk and docks for recreational boats.
Picton’s harbour has a rich and layered cultural history. Once used as a landing point in a network of aboriginal portage trails, and later informing the development pattern, transportation networks, and industrial and early economic history of Picton and Hallowell, the harbour is central to the cultural heritage of the area.
Up until the early 20th century, the waterfront properties at the head of the harbour were active warehouses with dredged and hardened docking areas for large vessels along the water’s edge. While the dockwalls remain largely intact to this day, all of the warehouse activity is now gone and most of the waterfront properties at the head of the harbour have been redeveloped as private residential and commercial sites.
The existing character of the streetscape within this area, along Bridge Street, is marked by what is no longer there rather than what currently is. The mouth of the harbour where the creek meets the bay was once a bustling intersection as a primary point of arrival and departure for passengers and goods. Streetwall buildings that met Bridge Street and extended towards Top-of-Hill acted as a physical connection of the harbour to the downtown core. Trading activity on the harbour spilled up from the harbour onto Bridge Street and funnelled to the commercial thoroughfare on Main Street. The vibrant streetscape character of the
area was lost with the demolition of the streetwall buildings and replacement with a modern strip mall at 18 Bridge Street.
Nevertheless, the remaining streetwall buildings at Bridge and Union Streets contribute to a terminating view and sense of arrival into the Town as one descends south-westward from the Loyalist Parkway.
Today, local residents and visitors alike are less aware of the harbour than they once were. At present, there is limited public access to the waterfront. A boardwalk provides access to marina slips, evidence of the harbour’s primary function as a
destination and launching point for recreational boating.
Despite its current diminished status, the harbour represents a hidden jewel for Picton, waiting to be re-discovered. The natural topography that defines the harbour basin, and which has continually informed patterns of movement and settlement in the area, remains intact. From the water, a dramatic approach to the
head of the harbour can still be experienced and, at a number of existing overlook points, a dramatic harbour-side townscape is revealed. Re-vitalizing the harbour, and re-connecting the harbour to the town represents a significant opportunity to
improve quality of life for residents and to attract more tourists, contributing to the economic vitality of the town.

Are you like me and dream of one day owning a Victorian style home? Is there something keeping that dream from becoming a reality?
Well, then this Victorian Dream Home is for you. I created this project to fulfill that dream in some small way while also hoping to fulfill another dream of mine; to design a real LEGO set.
If you like the idea of this project as a LEGO set and would want LEGO Ideas to release one, please cast your vote by clicking here to go to LEGO Ideas and support the project. It’s free to support and setup a LEGO ID. Also, by supporting The Victorian Dream Home, you are NOT obligated to buy it if it is released in the future.
If this project reaches 10,000 supporters, then LEGO Ideas will consider it for an official LEGO set. If they decide to release an official version, the final design will be created by LEGO Master Builders. Mine is only a prototype.
More information on the build process and set details can also be found on LEGO Ideas
In support of the Inspire Foundation and to help raise funds and awareness for the prevention of suicide and improvement of mental health and well being in men, the "Man Book" was launched today. Put together by the very inspiring Mark Pollard and Gavin Heaton, the book titled The Perfect Gift for a Man – 30 Stories about Reinventing Manhood, focuses on the stories of 30 contributors on topics such as respect, fragility and loss. Although I didn't manage to write anything for the book, I was honoured to play a part through my contribution as a photographer. 2 images, destined to spend the rest of their lives on my hard drive, were given life and purpose again through use on the front cover and within the book! For more information on the book, head to http://www.theperfectgiftforaman.com.au/ or you can support the Inspire Foundation by buying an

It's practically impossible to get catch light on these black eyed cuties, and on a not so sunny day to boot.
Gasoline Morning is a piece I've been toying with for the past little while, experimenting mostly with geometric shapes to create a crystalized, faceted look.
This is my contribution to the Sweet Content Calendar '09 project, alongside some wicked talent like Peter Jaworoski, Malota, Merdanchik, Evgeny Kiselev and more. Can't wait to get my hands on the final product.

La “culpable” de esta kdd es Alicia. Fiel seguidora de los luciérnagos, hace unas semanas nos sorprendió con una fotografía de paisaje tremenda. Un majestuoso y solitario roble centenario, ideal para un paisaje astronómico. Cuando la invitamos a acompañarnos se puso muy contenta, y aunque los planes se torcieron, finalmente pudo disfrutar con nosotros de una noche luciérnaga en toda regla.
Ali debió sentirse esa noche como la otra Alicia, la del cuento, observando en el mundo de Oz frente a sus ojos la que se prepara en una sesión de light painting como esa; fogonazos, linternacas, gente corriendo, gritos ¡¡¡tapaaaaa!!!!, ahora!!!!!!, cuidado con la luciérnaga!!!!!, apaga esa frontal!!!!!!
La experiencia de trabajar con un equipo de 11 personas ha sido muy instructiva.
Para esta primera escena se utilizaron tres cámaras con el mismo encuadre, un pintor para el camino, cuatro pintores para las paredes y un figurante para la silueta. Repetimos la secuencia (de unos 300 segundos) durante dos horas, en algunos momentos bajo la lluvia, pero estábamos tan concentrados en nuestro trabajo que ni nos dimos cuenta. En cada intento se revisaba y comentaba el resultado, se establecía una pequeña charla y a continuación se ajustaban parámetros, tiempos, ángulos de iluminación, etc. para el siguiente intento.
La toma final resultó como la habíamos pensado en origen. No es una gran imagen, pero teniendo en cuenta que fue fruto de la improvisación y la colaboración de todos, creemos que es un éxito.
Datos exif: 1 sola toma, f8, 305 segundos, iso 400, 5500ºK. Procesado: niveles, curvas, saturación, enfoque, y clonado de una pequeña luciérnaga en el primer plano.
