As my friend Mr. Vraets is fond of saying, the best camera is the one you have with you at the time... or something like that.

ich wünsche euch allen einen guten Wochenstart ❄

This is an experimental vertical panorama using the inbuilt camera feature in the Samsung S8. I think it is pretty impressive how it produces such an image so quickly and accurately.

A fine pub in Ottawa serving this delicious dark beer on tap. After driving all day from Niagara, hardly a moment to get parked and walk to the National Arts Centre for a showing of Hamilton (a f***in great performance, btw), this beer (and the food) was amazing. I could've sat there sipping this and more like it until the cows came home. Alas, one was all I could do as sleep was calling and the hotel was a billion kilometers away.

Noir fame loves this joint.

So, you know how you go into the Costco store (or many other big box, big everything stores) and the first thing they bombard you with is the glorious, vibrant, crystal-clear, giant flat-screen TV's. The 'allure part' is what is on rotation showing you just how freekin' amazing the picture screen is... I'm ready to pull my wallet out and ask for two of each... one just cannot have enough televisions in the house, if you ask me.

Alright, alright, just kiddin'... I don't even watch television (well, very little anyways). However, I love the stuff they show on these screens and am always grabbing a couple of phone shots.

This panorama was snapped on the Emerald Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. On the return trip we passed Dream Lake but had not yet gotten to Nymph Lake and this view of the lower parts of Tyndall Gorge opened along the path. We started the hike around 7 AM and by the time we were back to this spot it was about 10:30 AM, so the sun was higher up in the sky but not yet mid-day. The GPS had us just shy of 10,000 FT in altitude. Besides the mountain peaks, there is also wonderful views of pine forests in this subalpine region.

We had to intentionally arrive early for this very popular hike, but we were very glad that we did and during a time that wasn’t too crowded yet. It’s no wonder that the trail is this popular since it offers a substantial amount of magnificent scenery.

Unreal! We have been having a mild Winter so far. I was driving by Bakerview Park and saw a bunch of daffodils in bloom in the flowerbed. I had to stop and take a photo! 😎

I would expect this possibly in March, not January!

So, you know, you go into one of those huge, conglomerate big-box stores (in this case Costco) and they got all those humongous flat screen tv's set up so as to bombard your senses and lure you into buying three of them, though even one of the 98" models won't fit into the back of your Ford Pinto. You call a guy you know who just happens to own a pick-up truck and try and persuade him to drive on over, with the promise of free brewskis and pizza for the Bills' playoff game on Saturday. Anyway, I found the samples being shown, of just how great "...one of these babies might look in your very own home", quite fascinating and grabbed a couple of shots with my portable camera, which just happens to double as a telephone also. And as tempted as I might, the smarter of the two people looking at these wonders of visual technology, otherwise known as the CFO of the household, pulled me along in order to proceed in loading our cart with only the essentials, i.e., toilet tissue, oversized packages of bleach and potatoe chips, contact lens solutions, etc.

"He tried to grab the microphone! I couldn't believe it at first but, then I sprung into action. I'm a burly, crowd-controlling bouncer, after all. Let me tell you, this was no Altamont. I launched myself at him and landed my shoulder square into his plexus, somewhere on the west side. I grabbed the twine holding his dungarees up and yanked for all that Mother America had to offer me in strength and fortitude. By God, I got some jimjam! Anyway, he keels over and I haul him away with a hoot and a nanny. Just another day on the job. My name is Cyril."

This is another one of those cellphone shots taken at a Costco, you know, where they bombard you with all those big screen tv's the second you walk into the door. The displays are always so amazing that I very often find myself digging into my pocket for the camera that doubles as a communication device (amongst many other things).
