All Aboard, Matey


I find things. This thing was found while cruising down the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way) in Ontario, Canada. This massive ship was probably docked here on Jordon Harbor and left to decay.

Here's Your Sign

 Denali National Park, Alaska. This was right where the bus dropped you off to stretch.

Niagara Falls, Ontario. Don't jump over the railing.
This was at the Casino (notice the club and heart).

Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado.
This one is obvious, but the temptation was there.

No Spidermen





Yes, it's true. Spiderman is not allwed in the CN Tower in Toronto. Here is my proof. The CN Tower was built in 1976 and stands 1,135 feet. The Outdoor Observation Deck is at 1,122 feet.

Woodpecker Column




These larger than life woodpeckers (a yellow-bellied sapsucker and a pileated woodpecker) were spotted along Bremner Boulevard in downtown Toronto. They are the work of a pair of artist known as Fastwurm. The 'Tree' is 30 meters (100 feet) tall, so the birds have got to be 10 or 12 feet tall.

Scarlett Point Lighthouse




Scarlett Point Lighthouse on Balaklava Island is one of six lighthouses I saw while on my Alaska cruise at this time last year. Scarlett Point sat right where the inside passage narrowed coming south.  Just across the shipping lane was the Pine Island Lighthouse. (Scarlett Point is named after British General James York Scarlett who led the Charge of the Heavy Brigade in the battle of Balaklava in the Crimean War. You've heard the poem "Charge of the Light Brigade"? same battle, same day, better results.) The original tower was built in 1905 and stood 36 feet to the light or 90 feet from the high water to the light. It was replaced in 1965. Scarlett Island light sits just 9 and a half miles southeast of the Pine Island light.

Year 9, Day 1

That's right another year gone. That would be 8 years now that I have been boring you with the same old stuff. And last year was a big-un. I said I had really big plans. And those plans took me to Alaska for a week and a half. Awesome. Blog-Year 8 also took me to Toronto for a baseball game and Niagara Falls. Summer Sky Fest in Greencastle, Colorado on an elk hunt, and Conowingo Dam for the eagles. There was plenty of birds, bushels of flowers and butterflies and more firehouses than I had weekends to post them. Again this past year I had 295 posts, same as last year for a total of 2624 posts. And I had 28,479 page views this past 12 months, a little more than the year before. An all-time total of 133,4789 views. And the World of Pigeons is still my #2 all-time viewed page.
