View northerly across McLaughlin Road (a.k.a. Division Street) in Inglewood, Ontario. Visible in to the right of centre is a roof over a map of the Caledon Trailway, which passes straight through the area where the users' cars are parked. This must have been an interesting crossing in the days when two rail lines and the road all met at this level crossing. From this location, the Trans Canada Trail parts company with the Caledon Trailway to follow McLaughlin Road northwesterly.
View from McLaughlin Road looking southerly. When I posted this photo, I stated that "the rail line running south is in active use by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the concrete slab serves as a dismount platform", but meafordsub says that service was discontinued in 2004, and I bow to his greater knowledge. The Caledon Trailway, a decommissioned CNR rail line, follows the pole line, which in Canada we call a hydro line since in the past most of our electricity was water generated. This portion of the Caledon Trailway to the southwest of McLaughlin Road is not contiguous with the Trans Canada Trail, which follows McLaughlin Road northwesterly.

This knife belonged to my father. He got it issued to him when he enlisted way back in the 1930's
Chicago's Lakefront Path at Ohio Street makes an awkward curve that is difficult to navigate during high-traffic summer months.

Sunday we walked 5km along the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail Trail from Hallowell Road northwest to Helmcken Road. The plan was to walk northbound along the trail to see how work is progressing at Dunsmuir's Cut at the Four Mile railway bridge.
Work is proceeding at an exponential rate since we were there two-weeks ago. What a fine job of engineering and workmanship the contractor is producing in the course of completing this 10-mile (16km) long, multi-use trail beside the E&N railway tracks.
It was another beautiful, spring-like day in Victoria at a sunny, 11°C (52°F). We topped our outing off with lunch at the Four-Mile Pub (with pictures-to-prove-it).
"Arcosanti, a prototype town for 5,000 people designed by Soleri, under construction since 1970. Located at Cordes Junction, in central Arizona, the project is based on Soleri's concept of "Arcology," architecture coherent with ecology. Arcology advocates cities designed to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land, reducing waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment".

A winding path on the Cookstown section of the Trans Canada Trail in Ontario. It was one of my favourite sections on the trail with the closely spaced trees on both sides being a nice touch.

"The idea and image of the European hunter and/or naturalist on expedition in the heartland of a foreign continent lives on in the costume of the safari explorer as bedecked in khakis, pith helmets, and multi-pocketed vests. The safari expeditionist would wear the muted beige and brown or olive colors in their clothing to better camouflage themselves in their environs during an African safari and the helmets, shaped from the light weight core (pith) of a particular tree, would protect them from sun and water exposure. As the European explorers ventured into new territory with their safari expeditions they also documented and glorified their discoveries in record-keeping and literature that found its way back to the continent in ways that would ingrain themselves in the European imagination. Even though we may not wear the same costume in our contemporary expeditions being the global travelers that we are, the image of the safari traveler is an endearing one that still has resonance. "
"Highly innovative when they were designed in the 1960s by Bertrand Goldbert, the 61-story twin towers with semicircular balconies are part of a multiuse complex of residences, parking, marina, restaurant, theatre, shops, and hotel." - Official Architecture River Cruise Tour Guide
