This is #949, the spy that was in our house yesterday. She slowed down just long enough to be caught on film.
Infared (Hoya R72 filter) shot off the steps of the Franklin Institute steps. Except for iso, all settings were automatic, and it was shot free hand as I had no tripod.
Retro-reflective tape returns the infared signal which is sent from the rolling-bar, and then recieved by an adjacent sensor which triggers the designated note's fauxboo pipe to "blow" with a water-dip that forces air thru a reed.

The falls were named after Shannon who in 1890-1900 owned the falls and surrounding area and used the clay deposits to make bricks. He then sold the land to Brittania Copper Mines in 1900. In the 1930's, the area was used as a relief camp for the workers building Highway 99. In 1976 the area was purchased by Carling O'Keefe Brewery, who used the pure mountain water to brew their beer, and made the area a logging show park. In 1982 O'Keefe donated the land to BC Parks.
