2nd photo of the photo shoot, thanks to Linnea for wrapping yarn around my head and all. Glad no one walked by along the path, because that would have looked completely normal.
Much credit goes to the awesome photographer Ben Zank. He did a very similar photo and i had always wanted to see if I could do the same.

I've been struggling with a persistent and quite devastating sinus problem for the past 2 weeks and am slowly reclaiming my health only now. So sadly I missed out on the snowy-frosty conditions, hoping to get back on track soon and deal with the "backlog"...

Thats my Brother,
His feet,
And the birds that flew over the ocean that day
I'm thinkin about starting the 52 weeks project
So my friend Scott Lough and I decided to go get some photos together. It was -30 C with a -43 C wind chill so we worked FAST!
This is a merge of 3 exposed shots. I did not use Photomatix on this one. I used Photoshop to mask selectively the parts that I want.

Week 6 - Intertwined
My house appears to be full of boxes of 'old' stuff. Including cables like this....
Audio and computer network cables are often twisted together in pairs as it helps get rid of a lot of interference.
Now you know! (if you didn't before)

In the course of our travels around Europe and Great Britain, my wife and I have visited several castles and chateaux. Each has its own special interest. One was even owned for most of the 18th century by my wife’s ancestors. But for sheer elegance and charm and for the beauty of its gardens, none could equal the Château de Chenconceau.
Nicknamed the “château of the ladies,” its history is intertwined with a series of strong and colourful women. To build it in the early 16th century, Thomas Bohier and his wife demolished an earlier castle and mill that had once belonged to the Marques family. Only the castle keep was left standing. Known as the Marques tower, it can be seen here in the forecourt beyond the massive oak door at the entrance to the château.
During the original construction Bohier spent so much time away on the king’s business that his wife, Katherine Briçonnet, was left to supervise the build and make most of the important design decisions. In 1535 ownership of the château passed to King Francis I and then, in 1547, to Henry II who gifted it to his mistress and confidant, Diane de Poitiers, who built an arched bridge over the Cher river to provide access to hunting grounds on the far bank.
Needless to say, Henry’s headstrong wife, the famous Catherine de Medici, was none too pleased with Diane’s presence in the château and when Henry died from a wound inflicted in a jousting contest in 1559, Catherine had Diane unceremoniously removed, made Chenonceau her own favourite residence and set about putting her own stamp on the estate. To the west of the château she added an impressive garden to rival the one that Diane had built on the river bank to the east. And then, as a grand finishing gesture, she added the imposing triple-tier set of galleries on top of Diane’s bridge.
Note: On the dank and rainy October day when I was there it was difficult to get a good quality shot of the exterior of the château. For those who have never seen the château, click here for a fine B&W image captured by another Flickr member: www.flickr.com/photos/hpgisela/15249424184

CN 598 splits the platform at Sudbury Jct. in really close proximity to the station veranda. They're on their way back north towards the Bala and onto Capreal after servicing the interchanges in Sudbury.
The next Via train isn't due to arrive for another 24 hours, so the quiet station becomes a abandoned relic of a different, and perhaps better, era of railroading. These rural stations truly have a persona onto themselves, and I'll take all I can get.

It was not uncommon to wake to birds, or the whistle from the train that rolled through the valley each morning, especially in the summer when sound traveled into every open window. Same dream. Feverishly searching through pockets for a boarding pass that cannot be found. The other passengers are growing impatient and starting to groan. He reaches into his vest pocket from which he pulls a small blackbird with a silver band pinched around a delicate leg and hands it to the conductor. The conductor removes the band with ring cutting scissors and the bird flies through a window singing loudly. The conductor says to everyone, "Don't worry, it's free."
This really is the best year ever. All the rest of them suck.
I've gotten 15 new models in the past 2 months, and these 3 are my favorite find of the year.
They are collectively and individually lovely, and more fun than I should be allotted. Today we had an all film shoot since I'm the idiot that doesn't put his memory card back in his digital camera. I've got some amazing medium format shots I'm dying to see (curse you postal system for taking forever to get them back to me), and 4 Impossible Project shots to make 'Roid Week extra special.
I love these three.
