farewell to the 13th floor
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Well, this was my last day at EPCOR. The last two and a bit years have been fun.
It’s strange to think that I can fit my entire desk contents into one file box:
I also made sure I didn’t break with tradition:
wind turbine raccoon sees you
Friday, April 18th, 2008… and is unimpressed.
We encountered a raccoon last night. It was somewhat surprised to see us. Almost as much as we were to find it on top of the steps to a wind turbine.
owl
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008You can tell I’m a towny when I get all excited about a blurry picture of a Hawk Owl:
It was kinda windy, and it was taken at maximum digital zoom. The Wikipedia link has a much better picture.
consider the donut sprinkles of the field …

All that’s left of Bishop’s Block
Thursday, March 13th, 2008
Two windows are pretty much all that’s left standing at Bishop’s Block, which was one of the oldest buildings in Toronto. It would seem that the façade is being kept for the new Shangri-la bourge hut, but the way the workers have been wrecking old bricks, it would be a surprise if much of the outer wall can be rebuilt.

if you have to park, park artfully
Friday, December 28th, 2007The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has done about as much as you can with the bare walls and gloomy spaces of an underground parking lot:

Ripley Wind Farm
Friday, August 10th, 2007I drove through Suncor/Acciona’s Ripley wind farm the other night. They’re just constructing, but this summer has been almost perfect weather for building (dry, still — which kind of sucks for farmers and those of us with wind farms nearby, but it’s an ill calm …).
I don’t usually take pictures of parked or machines under construction, but these Enercons are quite something.
two wind turbines
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007Two new small wind turbines have appeared along Highway 8. Both are near Clinton.
The first is an 80kW WES. I’m not really a huge fan of two-bladed wind turbines, but at least the old Lagerwey design is well proven.
The second is a bit more of a mystery. Apparently installed by a local trucking company, it reminds me of design from the 1980s, but I can’t remember which. This one’s nearer Vanastra.
the nuclear family holiday (last) resort
Sunday, July 15th, 2007I’ve been invited onto the committee that looks after a small (and almost full) cemetery in Ajax, so I went out to take a look at it. It’s nice; it’ll last you. One thing I learnt there: RB67 polaroids don’t come out too well if you leave the darkslide in.
On the way back, I headed down Liverpool Road to take pictures of the Pickering wind turbine with the RB67. It’s a strange place, the beachfront at Pickering. There’s beach volleyball with the nuke station lurking toxically in the background.
I don’t know why the town doesn’t rename itself “New Prypiat“, and be done with it.
