We took this last weekend off from climbing up north and went to the cottage. I think our bodies appreciated the rest! Time at the cottage consists of card games, board games, lots of swimming, and lots of eating. This time around, it even included a midnight stroll to the pond to take photos of the stars. It was my first time at the pond during the night and it won’t be the last!! Enjoy the photos!
You may remember photos from the cottage in the Winter and some photos from our spring time there. Go check them out!
Nous avons pris congé de l’escalade le weekend passé et sommes allé au chalet. Nos corps ont bien apprecié le repos! Le temps au chalet consiste de jeux de cartes, jeux de sociétés, beaucoup de nage, et plein de bouffe. Cette fois-ci, nous avons même été prendre une marche à minuit au lac pour prendre des photos des étoiles. C’était la première fois que j’allais au lac la nuit, et ça ne sera pas la dernière. Enjoy!
Vous vous rapellez peut-être des photos que j’avais prises lors de nos visites pendant l’hivers et pendant le printemps. Allez les revoir si ça vous en dit!

We went to a bouldering crag called the “Halfway Log Dump” this weekend. It’s an incredible lake-side area of the Bruce Peninsula (Georgian Bay, Lake Huron) that has recently been re-opened — thanks to the hard-working folks of the OAC. Here is a collection of the friends we made there over the past couple of days. (Actual shots of the climbing and scenery are coming this week!) Enjoy.
Nous sommes allés grimper à un spot qu’y s’apelle “Halfway Log Dump” ce weekend. C’est un site de grimpe sur le bord du grand Lac Huron, dans la baie Georgienne sur la “Bruce Peninsula”. Le site vient tout juste de ré-ouvrir grâce aux nombreux efforts de l’OAC. Voici une collection des petits amis que nous avons rencontrer lors de notre fin de semaine. Les photos de l’endroit en tant que tel s’en viennent bientôt.

Last Thursday, December 17th 2009, the Olympic torch slowly made its way to downtown Toronto. By sheer luck, I was also making my way to Nathan Phillips Square to catch some of the Christmas atmosphere for one of my Photo Mondays. The unfortunate part of the story is that I made it maybe 30 minutes too late and I missed the whole ceremony… Ha ha!
Luckily, I was able to sneak my way upstairs and get a couple of nice shots of Nathan Phillips Square once they opened up the ice rink and started the fireworks for the Calvacade of Lights 2009. If you are around for the Holidays, I strongly recommend you go ice skating downtown. It was a super cool atmosphere!
One last thing. In the last two shots, if you look carefully, you can see two guys sitting on the far left arch over the ice watching the fireworks (check out the original size to see them). Of course the cops were there waiting for them when they climbed down… Ha ha! Poor souls! I wonder how much their seats cost…
Anyways, here are some shots I was able to get.
The red carpet for the Olympic Torch, minus the Olympic Torch… I like the policeman just chilling there on the ice.
The Fireworks added a little something to the atmosphere at Nathan Phillips Square. Very neat!
One more for good measure!
I hope I get to go ice skating down there once this year. I also want to try out the ice rink by the waterfront. Both look like super cool places to enjoy our winter season downtown.
Cheers,
