More beach 'street photography'. This looks heavily processed but actually is quite close to the original.

Made on my phone in Pixlr and MirrorLab apps.
Interior shot from a wonderful old museum which basically is a recreation of a vintage shop from yesteryear - complete with canned groceries and many many other things.One can spend days in there and you still would not have seen everything. Definitely one of the most interesting places i have visited in my life. As me and hubby are in our 50's it was so nice to see products we remember from our early childhoods.

City of Burnaby, Heritage site,
Central park,
Garden Village, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
The Jubilee Grove Arch sits at the corner of Kingsway and Patterson Avenue. Located within Central Park, the ceremonial arch and its decorative plantings provide a visual anchor to the northeast corner and entry point to the park.
Heritage Value
Jubilee Grove Arch was dedicated as part of the municipality’s celebration of the Jubilee of the coronation of King George V and was dedicated during Burnaby’s annual May Day celebrations in 1935. Much of the construction work was carried out by local citizens under the direction of the Burnaby Engineering Department through a Depression era work relief program that provided a way for local residents to pay their taxes. The garden was also chosen as the site for the ceremonial planting of an oak tree from the Royal Forest at Windsor, in honor of the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. The original bronze garden dedication plaque and oak tree remain at the site today.
The decorative stone arch was erected in 1939 as a symbol of Burnaby's, and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia’s, strong ties to the English monarchy at the time, and the arch’s unveiling during May Day ceremonies shows the social role that such a commemorative feature played both to the local government and people of Burnaby. It was erected just prior to the Royal Visit of 1939, the first time that reigning British monarchs had travelled to Canada. Built of Haddington Island sandstone, the arch itself was reconstructed from a salvaged architectural element of a historic Vancouver landmark. The arch originally framed the entrance door to the Vancouver Club building in Vancouver, built in 1893-94 on West Hastings Street and designed by architect C.O. Wickenden. The building was demolished in 1930, however the arch was stored and rebuilt as the focal point of the Jubilee Grove after being bought by the Municipality of Burnaby. The work was undertaken by Italian-born stone mason Rizieri Stefanini (1879-1954), the owner of Burnaby Monumental Works. The re-use of the arch symbolizes the close tie between Vancouver and Burnaby and the joint evolution of the neighbouring cities.
Defining Elements
The Jubilee Grove Arch has character-defining elements that recognize it both as a remnant of a past building and as a new and individual structure. These include its:
- axial diagonal placement and prominent corner location marking one of the entries to Central Park
- visibility and accessibility as a public monument
- hand carved stone blocks of Haddington Island sandstone
- decorative twisted-rope motif carved to outline the arch
- supporting rusticated sidewalls with planting urns
- original bronze dedication plaque
- flanking ornamental gardens
- Royal Oak tree and plaque
For my return visit to the Tombstone Range one goal was to get this shot. If for nothing else to put in perspective for me, as a reminder how pretty this area is at night. To take it a step further, on this night I could have pointed my camera in any other direction for 360 degrees with the same results. Because in this area you are surrounded by mountains. So if you like the view from here, multiply it by any number that it would take you to turn a complete circle.

A product shot of some Pringles lit by flash and a homemade flash modifier made out of a Pringles can.
During lockdown, I'd seen a video of someone using a homemade flash modifier made from a Pringles can (clean it out, cut a hole in it, stick it on a speedlight), so I thought I'd have a go myself. Photocrowd are currently running a Repurposed Object contest so I came up with this idea to make my Pringles can flash modifier the subject of my image. It could only be used one way, and that's to use it to take images of Pringles.
