This Red Fox was king for quite some time and fathered many kits over many years. He's in fox heaven now. Here, he appears to have found a resting place fit for his awesomeness.

T dot as is Tamworth, not Toronto!
I had a crazy it’s for a sunrise shot, so I snuck out to this little spot in the middle of nowhere early morning.

With Noranda-bound tonnage in tow, Ontario Northland's gorgeous heritage unit rounds the bend at Boston Creek in the pouring rain. The chase is on.
Le Canadien, CANADÀ 2024
The Canadian (Le Canadien) is Canada's most famous transcontinental passenger train. It is one of the longest and most recognized rail routes in the world, offering a scenic journey across the nation.
The Route: The train covers a distance of 4,466 km (2,775 miles), connecting Toronto (in the East) and Vancouver (on the Pacific coast, in the West).
Journey Duration: The full trip typically takes about four days and four nights (approximately 86 hours), crossing five provinces and multiple time zones.
Scenery: The journey is an unparalleled way to see the vastness of Canada, passing through the forests of Northern Ontario, the expansive Prairies (Manitoba and Saskatchewan), and the breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains (Alberta and British Columbia).
Service: Operated by VIA Rail Canada, the train focuses on the tourist experience, offering panoramic observation cars (Skyline and Park Cars) with glass domes for scenery viewing, dining cars with regional cuisine, and sleeping cabins (including Prestige Class) for a luxurious journey.
Le Canadien, CANADÀ 2024
Alberta is one of Canada's ten provinces, located in the west of the country and one of the three Prairie Provinces. It borders British Columbia to the west and is one of the only provinces (along with Saskatchewan) without coastline access.
Geography: The province is renowned for its contrasting landscapes. To the west are the spectacular Canadian Rocky Mountains (featuring world-famous national parks like Banff and Jasper), while the rest of the province is dominated by prairie, forests, and taiga.
Economy: Alberta boasts one of Canada's strongest economies, driven primarily by its vast oil and natural gas resources, including the Athabasca oil sands. It also has significant agriculture and ranching industries.
Key Cities: The two largest and most important cities are Calgary (the financial and energy hub, famous for its annual Stampede) and Edmonton (the provincial capital).
Beautiful morning sunlight illuminates the marshland at Falkenburg, Ont., as a trio of Canadian National EMDs charge Toronto to North Bay train no. 451 along the scenic, albeit often overlooked, Newmarket Subdivision. With tonnage for the ONR, trains 451/450 essentially serve as CN's connection to the North. Linking the big city with the far reaches of Ontario over a system that spans more than 650-miles from North Bay to as far north as Moosonee, west to Hearst, and east to Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, who knows where these cars will go from here! If one thing is for sure though, with the slightest hint of autumn in the air and the blackflies (mostly) at bay, you really can't beat a late summer's morning trackside in this neck of the woods.
You don't always have to have the Milky Way in a night-scape. The rest of the stars shine too!

This wonderful little Eastern chipmunk had made its home in a recent red oak that had fallen in the forest. Such a great habitat to be protected from predators
This is another pano from the Nipigon River Recreational Trail.

To the left (and behind) the water leads to the small town of Nipigon, Ontario, Canada. It is here that the Nipigon River meets the mighty Lake Superior (aka ‘gichi-gami’ ~ pronounced gitchi-gami. It translates to ‘great sea’ in Ojibwe). Lake Superior is the largest of the great lakes and the largest fresh water lake (by area) in the world. It falls third largest in the world by volume of water (next to Lake Baikal in Siberia and Lake Tanganyika in East Africa).
On the right you can see the quaint little town of Red Rock and its marina.

I've been away for a little family time but we did stop in to see the Diefenbunker - Canada's refuge for the government in the event the unthinkable happened - a nuclear strike during the cold war. It was fascinating to see the four story underground bunker that once had a staff of 500 personnel and is now a museum. Sobering too - when seeing the projected blast zones. This is the foreboding entryway leading to massive steel doors that would have sealed the building.
Photographing the facility was a challenge as it was under Covid-19 precautions - with limited access and guided walkways. I finally gave in and set my camera to full auto and hoped for the best. Check it out at: diefenbunker.ca
It is only fitting that on my last night in Toronto, I would capture its beautiful skyline as seen from Polson Pier.
As this sunset was coming to an end, it had a short but sweet second burst of color, so I re-framed, changed my camera settings, sat on the edge of the lake and watched the finale.
Panoramic shot of the Sifton Bog in London, Ontario. Although it looks like nature paradise, it actually is surrounded by the city.
Got my first jumping spider photo! Little guy sat around long enough to get a few shots, then it proceeded to jump on me lol
Sunset from the top of one of the granite hills near Seeley's Bay. Which version do you like best, 1 or 2? (this one is number 2, hence the 2 in the title) I'm leaning towards this one.
The first image was made by combining 330 photos into one image, and the second image was made with 210, from the end of the timelapse.

Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
Here's the second part of the sunset over this ice and snow covered offshoot of Little Cranberry Lake near Burnt Hills. (as I mentioned in the last post)
Anytime I jump into frame, I can never strike a decent pose or even just look natural, which is why I usually stay on the other side of the lens. This one isn't terrible, but most of them were, which you can see briefly in the timelapse video on my instagram page... www.instagram.com/mattmolloyphoto/
A time stack of the sunset over Kingston's city hall. It's was a pretty good sunset, but not quite what I was hoping for, so I'll be revisiting this one again someday.

I made this time stack by combining 80 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
I went to Sand lake and found an interesting foreground with tire tracks leading to the sun, but the clouds didn't really show up, so the tracks didn't lead to a spectacular view this time.

Found this tiny little beetle in the comfort of my back yard, still adjusting to my new macro lens but so far loving it!
Apologies in advance for the quality of this image but it was dark down in the lower levels of the Diefenbunker. This was the Gold Room, where Canada's gold reserves would be stored in the event of a nuclear blast during the cold war. I gather the gold would have no value if irradiated so had to be protected. Thankfully, it was never needed and no gold was ever stored here - though I have difficulty understanding how something so heavy could be moved in quantity on short notice.
A bit of history: to keep the vault secure, the government installed a top of the line Mosler safe. The latter was a world-renowned safe manufacturer based in the US. They had a unique claim to fame after the first nuclear weapons were used against Japan at the end of World War II. A number of Mosler safes were being used in the Mitsui Bank, located in Hiroshima. When the atomic bomb ‘Little Boy’ was detonated, some of the safes miraculously withstood the explosion. Their unexpected capability of withstanding a nuclear blast led to their unprecedented rise in popularity during the Cold War when the threat of nuclear attack seemed imminent.
I'm going to skip the chronological uploads for a few posts to share a some of my shots of comet NEOWISE while it's still relevant.
This was the first time I got to see the comet, taken on July 14th just before sunrise.
Shot at 150mm.
The Massasauga Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada
We had a pretty but very cold night on our last night on site 610 at The Massasauga.
