But this last couple weeks I've been on vacation with my parents and haven't been writing
much -- I've been taking photos instead... lots and lots of photos. I
think most of the best either got me drenched, got a "What are you
taking a photo of??" question from my dad, or got a warning not to have a
repeat of our experience in Bern, Switzerland when I was 11 and
dropped my camera into the bear pit (the bear kindly took a selfie of
his bum by sitting on the camera, which I got back several hours later
squashed and dented but with developable film that included a bear bum
selfie... so it turned out okay. It was not the most exciting thing to happen
to my family in Bern, but that's a different story...). No selfies
here -- bear, bum, or otherwise, though I did just miss a great photo I
wanted of a Buddhist monk taking a selfie with a selfie stick at Niagara
Falls....
So here are some photographs that I
hope tell a story or capture a moment or provoke an imagination as well
as any written post could:
A train through
a Canadian fairytale. I expect Sleeping Beauty is lying around here
somewhere -- or perhaps Snow White's Seven Dwarves building a tunnel for
the train....
Apparently, if you want to find the leprechaun with the pot of gold, you have to go over the waterfall:
Hey city of Burlington, you need a perfect postcard shot?
