  I get my parcels delivered to the UPS store. Canada Post left a slip for me there, but they couldn't leave the package because of duties. I went to the post office, where they acknowledged my slip and my ID, but said I couldn't prove that the UPS mailbox was legally mine. Rules. 🙄 I knew that they would relent eventually, but I had to listen to an aggrieved lecture for 10 minutes. What was in the parcel, you ask? The photo book "Bureaucratics Revisited" by Jan Banning. #...

  The fortress of Minas Pretorith, one of two ancient towers fortifying the Pretoria Bridge over the Rideau Canal. The two identical crenellated towers, one on each side of the roadway, can support a garrison of one Commissionaire and one auxiliary cat. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Ottawa

  "Barrhaven" might be an indigenous word meaning "No particular reason to visit it, unless you happen to know someone who lives there, and you want to ask them if they've thought about a condo in Westboro". In this photo, the wall-maker has cleverly incorporated the suburb's coat of arms: a rectangular field of featureless stucco, symbolizing the large featureless neighbourhood on a macro scale, and the smaller monoculture lawns on a micro scal...

  Just a few days ago my mother-in-law was asking me, "now that you are retired, do you think you will do bird photography?" and while I said something polite in response, my mind was thinking "I can't decide if birding or watching golf is more boring".

Bird photography is definitely better than watching golf. #Photography #Birds #Bird...

  I picked up a few books on my travels to pass the time in airports. It’s just ridiculous the quality of the stuff you find in the remainders pile! Good stuff! #bookstodon
