The Kingsville dock is located on the north shore of Lake Erie in southwestern Ontario. Not only is it the home of many commercial fishing boats, but also serves as the winter dock for the MV Pelee Islander ll. This ferry, along with it’s fleet mate the MV Jiimaan, transports people and vehicles from March to December to Pelee Island, the most southern inhabited part of Canada.

Gebänderter Fidschileguan ♂ (Brachylophus fasciatus)
Der Gebänderte Fidschileguan (Brachylophus fasciatus) ist eine von vier Arten der Fidschileguane.
Der Gebänderte Fidschileguan erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von durchschnittlich 17 bis 18 Zentimetern. Die Gesamtlänge liegt bei rund 70 Zentimetern, der Schwanz kann also über 40 Zentimeter lang werden. Das Gewicht beträgt bis zu 200 Gramm. Es gibt aber auch größere Exemplare mit fast einem Meter Länge. Er ist somit ein großer Vertreter aus der Familie der Leguane, jedoch kleiner als der Grüne Leguan, dem er ähnlich sieht. Die Tiere haben einen flachen Körperbau. Auf dem Rücken tragen sie einen kleinen, kaum sichtbaren Kamm. Der lange Schwanz läuft zum Ende hin spitz zu. Die Finger und die Zehen sind mit sehr langen, spitzen Krallen versehen. Das Weibchen ist einheitlich grün gefärbt. Das Männchen hingegen trägt ein Bändermuster aus hellgrünen und dunkelgrünen, dicken Querstreifen am Körper, der Hals ist mit einem hellen Fleck versehen.
The Banded Fijiguana (Brachylophus fasciatus) ♂ is one of four species of Fijian iguanas.
The banded Fijiguana reaches an average head-torso length of 17 to 18 centimeters. The total length is around 70 centimetres, so the tail can be over 40 centimetres long. The weight is up to 200 grams. But there are also larger specimens with a length of almost one meter. It is therefore a large representative of the iguana family, but smaller than the green iguana, which it looks like. The animals have a flat physique. On their backs they wear a small, barely visible comb. The long tail tapers towards the end. The fingers and toes are provided with very long, pointed claws. The female is uniformly green in colour. The male, on the other hand, wears a ribbon pattern of light green and dark green, thick horizontal stripes on the body, the neck is provided with a light spot.

... every two months, my Provincial Health Authority of Messina (Sicily) sends me on a mission for three days (from Taormina) to the Civil Hospital of Lipari, located in via Saint Anne ... In my spare time, free from commitments of work, I dedicate myself to my photographic passion; the photographs I present here were all taken in February of this year 2022; I took photos according to the dictates of street photography, I made some portraits, having always met people in the hand and very willing to let themselves be photographed (maybe ... that the islanders are open-minded, eager and used to communicate with strangers ..?!), some portraits were made of people intent on their work, some fishermen were intent on repairing their nets, a lady showed me one of her beautiful work, a blanket she made with knitting needles , hanging on her balcony (it reminded me of the shawls my grandmother made, also made with hand knitting needles); all the photos were taken in the city of Lipari, except three, taken in the dark in the port of Milazzo, the port of departure and arrival with hydrofoils (but there is also the ship) for the Aeolian Islands.
….ogni due mesi, la mia Azienda Sanitaria Provinciale di Messina, mi manda in missione per tre giorni (da Taormina) all’Ospedale Civile di Lipari, situato in via Sant’Anna …Nei ritagli di tempo, libero dagli impegni di lavoro, mi dedico alla mia passione fotografica; le fotografie che qui presento sono state tutte realizzate nel mese di febbraio di quest’anno 2022; ho realizzato foto secondo i dettami della fotografia di strada (street photography), ho realizzato alcuni ritratti, avendo incontrato sempre persone alla mano e molto disponibili nel lasciarsi fotografare (sarà forse…che la gente isolana è di mentalità aperta, desiderosa ed abituata a comunicare con gli estranei..?!), alcuni ritratti sono stati eseguiti a persone intente nei loro lavori, alcuni pescatori erano intenti a riparare le loro reti, una signora mi ha mostrato un suo bellissimo lavoro, una coperta da lei realizzata coi ferri a maglia, appesa nel suo balcone (mi ricordava gli scialli che realizzava mia nonna, anch’essi realizzati coi ferri a mano); tutte le foto sono state realizzate nella città di Lipari, tranne tre, realizzate col buio nel porto di Milazzo, scalo di partenza e di arrivo con gli aliscafi (ma c’è anche la nave) per le isole Eolie.

Canadian Pacific GP38AC 3002 rests next to lines of stored GSNX coal hoppers at Muskego Yard, Milwaukee, after being dropped off by a manifest. The 3002 is one of a batch of nineteen GP38ACs built by Canada's GMDD in 1970-71. The GP38AC, as built by both GMDD and EMD, is essentially a standard GP38 but uses an AR-10 alternator instead of the GP38's generator. 261 units were produced for ten railroads and one utility company; almost all that have not been scrapped have since been rebuilt, but CP's are an exception. They are also notable for the fact that, for a significant portion of their careers, a group was assigned to CP's isolated trackage on Vancouver Island, BC, where they were at some point relettered for E&N Railfreight (Esquimalt & Nanaimo, today's Southern Railway of Vancouver Island, a subsidiary of the Washington Group's Southern Railway of British Columbia, SRY) before being returned to the rest of the CP system (obviously they were re-relettered). A standard geep at Muskego was a sight for sore eyes, as GP33C-ECOs have been the mainstays of yard and local power in Milwaukee for a number of years now. This unit would later go on to Portage, for local work based from there.

Oh, this IS my photo.
A Cape Island style fishing boat, mostly used for lobster fishing, is an inshore motor fishing boat found across Atlantic Canada having a single keeled flat bottom at the stern and more rounded towards the bow. The Cape Island style boat is famous for its large step up to the bow. They are known for being good "sea" boats, and riding the swells well. The design originated on Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia about 1905.
Taken back in the summer of 1989, here's the Cape Islander "Miss Nancy" resting just above the high tide mark. She looks like she won't be going anywhere soon because four hatch covers have been removed, allowing access to the below deck area. I've visited Pembroke many times over the years and was surprised to discover that according to the latest images from Google Earth, everything in the photo except for some pilings is gone. It's possible that a storm could have leveled the structures, or maybe they were torn down.
Original image taken with a Nikon F3HP, 35mm f/2.8 lens, Kodacolor VR-G 100 negative film.
The original negative was copied using a Nikon D3500 camera, 55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor, fitted with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, a 1.6x Sigma achromatic close-up lens on the 4T. Exposure was 1 second at f/11, ISO set at 100. The light source was a 13.5 watt LED bulb (5000K).

A few of my teen islanders performing a dance for Tangaroa, god of the sea. For Miss Teen USA on InSim. Interesting tidbit: Tangaroa is described as being yellow-haired, so when Pacific islanders encountered Europeans for the first time, they thought they were his children.
The final scans! This is one of a few slides - chosen at random - from the last batch I have had scanned. I saved then until last as I thought they were the most 'boring' :)
Biz jets, light a/c, gliders, helis, balloons!
Now when I look at them they aren't quite so 'boring'!
Here we see a smart looking Britten-Norman BN-2A Islander seen on my once only visit to Inverness airport back in 1981.
Turns out this is quite a rare shot, as G-AXXG never made it to fly with air Orkney, as apparently it suffered a forced landing on a hill near Aviemore, Scotland on it's delivery flight to the Orkney Islands! It was only recovered by British Airways S.61N in March 1983. The aircraft ended up in Uganda as 5X-BEE and again, unfortunately, was written off on landing at Kaabong, Uganda on 9th Mar 1990.
A small collection of light/biz aircraft can be seen behind the Islander, including HS.125 G-BAZA.
G-AXXG c/n 143 BN-2A-2 early build Islander, completed as G-51-62 in 1970. Registered G-AXXG and delivered to GKN, destined for Air Orkney in 1981 but (as above) never delivered - sold to an airline in Uganda as 5X-BEE and flew until 1990 when written off on landing.
One of my favourite light aircraft types - I even made a visit to the production line at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight.
Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and standard lens. Scanned from the original Ektachrome slide (lower quality than Kodachrome) with no digital restoration.

"No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself." -Denis Waitley
Inspired by some newly acquired shields, I decided to revisit some old themes and figures:
Knights Kingdom II, Islanders, Knights Kingdom I of the Lions and the Bulls, and the Tournament Knight.
The well known Islanders are having a party because that is my last Iron builder entry.
This is my 13th build for the Iron Builder with Matthew De Lanoy.
The seed part is the Brick Round 2x2 Dome Bottom.
