handwritten on slide, “Glad Camie meeting Jeanne and Sailer Disney World" date stamped on slide April 1972
This slide was shot way back in 1975. I must admit that I played around with and enhanced the sky quite a bit on this one. The original was also much wider and needed to be cropped substantially. And when I took this shot I remember wishing I had a much longer lens so I could get in closer on the setting sun. Now though, I'm glad I didn't have a longer lens because, in my opinion, the enhanced sky has a greater impact than a closer look at the sun would have. This was taken along North Greenwich Road in east Wichita when it was still a relatively undeveloped area.

Happy Sliders Sunday!
This tailgater vendor at a ham radio flea market near Toronto was chirping me continually in an attempt to sell me his wares back in 2012. (that's a vintage Yaesu rig front & center I believe, he must have saw me take a hard look at it on our way by)
This was one of the largest of its kind in the province but as far as we saw in the years that followed, we had caught the tail end of it at its best, I doubt we will ever return.
We would head over to Niagara Falls after this & then home all in the same day! :0)
This was repeated on more than one occasion & added up to be 400+ miles (650+ km) & 8+ hours on the road with heavy traffic congestion the nearer you got to Toronto of course & especially on the QEW from Toronto to Niagara.
I'm certain neither of us would be up for this now...my brain says we are, our bodies say, are you out of your mind?
Incredibly the weather was picture perfect each time, no pun intended!
The Hope Slide was the largest landslide ever recorded in Canada.[1] It occurred in the morning hours of January 9, 1965 in the Nicolum Valley in the Cascade Mountains near Hope, British Columbia, and killed four people. The volume of rock involved in the landslide has been estimated at 47 million cubic metres.[2][3][4]
