Ah, that's the center of the universe, right? And you have all that free wind power! And an election coming.

I had been hearing about a Northern Hawk-Owl for the last few months , not to far from me. Saturday I got up early and made the 3 hour drive and was not disappointed .

I am sure we will have provincial election soon but free wind power? Not too sure about that - Ontario's electricity is not cheap at all compare to other provinces.

Just pulling your leg. Alberta and Ontario have an historic relationship - we're the red necks or so they say.

Yeah that is the worst part, having to wake up before the sunrises to go out and get some good shots. And the cold.

I was testing the AF of the 5DIV + 400mm DO+1.4xTC for BIF this afternoon, and was very pleased. In this one, I had focussed on the gull in the centre and had a surprise when I cropped it.
