Welcome!

During 2010-12 I'll be updating this photoblog of St. Catharines and surrounding area. In addition to the city's natural beauty I'm looking for events and people to add to this blog. Do you have a band? Into Sports? Have an event? I'll cover it at no charge and post the photos here.

I hope you enjoy my work!

The Shipwreck in Jordan

Who knows who it belongs to but it's been there for a long time.  Word is that it was a floating party bar, originally a barge but done up to look like a pirate ship.  The Standard did an article on it some years back.

Canal Pathway at Glendale

Here's a shot from along the Welland Canal at Glendale Ave and the Canal Road.  There's a walking path which extends out to Lake Ontario. I wasn't in the most creative mood the day I took this and I was having a hard time finding interesting subjects.  I settled on this bollard and it was just too boring in colour so I changed it to B&W and increased the contrast to make it look like an older photograph.


Below is an image of a hollow tree stump on the same path.
