Off to Ottawa for Canada Day 2011 and a glimpse of the royals!
----------------------
After watching the royals make their way to Parliament Hill we took a bit of a stroll through the ByWard Market for lunch and then down and over the MacDonald-Cartier bridge to the Quebec side of the river so we could walk through Parc Jacques Cartier before heading into the Canadian Museum Of Civilization.

Looking down at the sculptures on the grounds of the Museum with the river and Parliament Hill in the background.
Montreal artist Louis Archambault created People, a grouping of abstract figures, for the Canadian pavilion at Expo 67. Archambault designed the sculpture on a scale that invites visitors to move among the characters and interact with each one. All of the figures share a simple, elongated appearance, but are distinct in their lighthearted combinations of human, bird, flower and animal imagry. The sculpture was perfectly suited to the forward-looking optimism of its original context: Expo 67. it remains fun, fresh and whimsical.

I got this to replace my Leatherman Charge Ti and Spare Bit Kit in my under seat bag on my bicycle. This fits great in my jersey back pocket. Here are the specs of the tool from where I bought it at biketiresdirect.com
The b17 Multi-Tool includes the most-used bike tools in an innovative and compact package. Magnetic driver bits lock into either of the two drivers located at the corner edge of the tool body. When not in use the driver bits are held in rubber sleeves on the tool body that fold in for a compact size and to lock the bits in place so they don't get lost.
In the center of the tool body is a chain tool with spring-loaded removal. Once removed, the chain tool features a magnetic hex that fits into the driver for a better grip and leverage. 230 grams.
Includes:
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm Hex Wrenches
T10 and T25 Torx Wrenches
Flat and Phillips Screwdrivers (Two sizes each)
#0 and #1 Spoke Wrenches
Chain Tool
This was a bit of serendipity. I had eyed this sweater back when they were sold in American Eagle Outfitter stores, but I'm a bargain hunter and so I wasn't willing to pay full price for it. This past weekend while quickly going through the racks at Goodwill in search of cardigans, I found the exact sweater I had wanted all those many months ago--in pink (I LOVE pink) and my size and perfect condition for $3.

Brown and white button shirt - JCPenney

Bronze flats - JCPenney

Clicked in BITS-Pilani, Rag performed on the inaugural ceremony of their annual fest SANGAMAM. A dance composed on Mahabharata.
Bit of gratuitous Brutalist steppy-ness. Not sure what the idea was here. At one point I was chasing threads that suggested Lawrence Halprin was involved in the landscape work here. I haven't been able to definitely confirm or reject that as yet, but if this is Halprin, it is hardly his best work. (More on Roosevelt Island landscape coming a few uploads from now.)

A bit of commercial marketing photography i did for my mate Rich - his folks are farmers in Goodmanham in the Yorkshire Wolds, and they've rebuilt the cowsheds into a really fantastic holiday cottage.
We (me and my girlfriend) stayed here for a weekend in exchange for the photography and had an ace time - beautiful views of countryside and farmland from the windows, chocolate-box-pretty village, and the farm is sat on the popular Wolds Way walking route, so perfect for a bit of exploring.
I was stunned at how beautiful the cottage was - they've done an amazing job on it with a really hi-spec finish, with disabled access etc.

My simple-circuit brain-rehabilitation continues. I had this enclosure from a pedal that I was never able to make work. I also had a "Bacon Bits" booster PCB that Madbean had comped me at some point in a little "Bonus Bag" that came with an order. It's a (mostly) clean boost with a "Warm" switch that rolls off some highs. There's a ton of boost in there, if that's a handy thing for you. At the very boost-iest it seems to start getting a little gritty, but that could be my amp input screaming in pain.
BTW, this brain-rehab thing is kind of familiar. I had Scarlet Fever when I was 8. I'd been a thing my mom in particular liked to show off. Skipping grades and being on television and she'd have me do all kinds of precocious things like doing her banking for her. Then I got this fever on a Friday and my pediatrician said it was the flu and sent me home with grape cough syrup. An old Army doctor the family knew packed me in ice Sunday night and gave me a bunch of expired penicillin (he didn't practice anymore). It apparently saved my life, but Monday morning my hearing and vision were shot and I couldn't speak in complete sentences anymore. I'd tested into an experimental educational facility and that didn't last much longer.
Anyway, forcing my brain to work right again (kind of, sort of) felt a lot like this. Take things slow and do what I can do until I can do more.
BTW, my voice started changing around the same time. Suddenly I was blind, deaf and the kid from all-county chorus couldn't sing anymore. That was a crappy year.
Anyway, it's kind of a cool pedal.

It came kwikly too, so we wuz able to make a start on it strait away. I sorted the peeces into groops of cullers an' the Mumster put it togevver - under my direkshun, of corse! It's got funny wibbly-wobbly shaped peeces (they reminds me of seaweed) that's sort-of a bit push-fit an' a bit interlockin', witch wuz fun. The wimsys is all Aynshunt Eegipshun too, like a Spinks an' a pirramid an' a cammle. Cool!
We 'ad a bit of a clearout the uvver day so I no there's room fer us to keep it - good!"
We had our January break in Nice this year. This is our combined Christmas and Jayne’s birthday present, which suits me as I can ignore Christmas and no presents to buy. A good result all round. We knew that the weather was forecast to be bad for at least three days which was a bit depressing but there’s nothing you can do about it. We flew from Liverpool, a nice little airport, landed in heavy rain – and it rained almost non-stop for three days. South East France suffered flooding, landslips, airlifts – and deaths! Home from home. Despite having walking gear, waterproofs etc., I had to buy an umbrella. I have never seen as many people with umbrellas, even the young lads had them. They are obviously used to rain – but without the wind to rip the brolly to shreds.
Nice has a pebble beach, the sea was rough on arrival but what we realised later, was that the pebbles were three foot deep on top of the concrete bases that the hotels across the road have bars, settees and tables set up on. For a couple of days tracked Bobcats moved hundreds of tonnes on pebbles, later in the week there were carpets and immaculately laid tables set out on the beach every day, even in January. Every day people swam in the sea and in some cases sunbathed. The temperature peaked at 15C but with the lack of wind it was pleasant, at times though it was cold and snow appeared overnight on the distant mountains, the beginning of the Southern Alps I think.
We walked over 90 miles in seven days and for three days in pouring rain, weighing up the photo possibilities, with the intentions of going back when the weather picked up. On Monday, day four, things improved, on Tuesday and Wednesday it was gorgeous, Thursday was duller. If we had had better weather we would have visited Cannes and Monaco etc. but as it was we stayed within walking distance of Nice. We walked up Castle Hill ( Colline du Chateau) several times in different weather, likewise Mont Boron and Mont Alban. The views were stunning. A peninsula below us was Cap Ferrat and we had an epic day out there, over twenty miles including the 14 Km path around the entire peninsula – the second most expensive place in the world to buy a home apparently. The gates on the driveway would cost more than a small house in Huddersfield. A beautiful place though.
We went to the old Town (Vieux Nice), Cimiez, Villefranche-sur-Mer, the fantastic Russian Cathedral, Pretty much everywhere it was worth walking in the time we had. We walked from 8.30 am until 8.30 pm with barstops for a glass or two of French wine – got to keep it civilised! I had a pretty heavy backpack on with my camera gear and waterproofs etc.
All in all we had a great time but! I made a big mistake, I inadvertently put an 8 Gb CF card back in my camera, formatted it - without checking what was on it – and put another 250 photos on it. I realised when I got home that there was a problem. These photos were the best of the trip, Our second visit to the Russian Cathedral, it was closed the first time, in stunning light, and no crowds. I spotted a giant Cumulonimbus over the snow covered mountains, just as the sun was setting and turning it pink and orange. It was similar to the one I photographed at home recently, A photo of which was on the BBC weather coincidentally. I couldn’t believe my luck, the only way I could get a view of it was by taking a ride on the giant Ferris wheel nearby. We ran to it and they took us around five times, each time I fired away and got some fantastic photos – all gone! At the time I was extremely disappointed but you have to put these things in perspective – it’s nobody’s life. We were there for a break and a change of scenery and we got it, the photos make the trip for me but I still have a thousand great photos, there might have to be a next time though.
