On a particularly windy day in Victoria, I caught this guy tearing up the waves on his windsurfer.

Plasterman!

This guy was perfectly silient and barely ever moved, and when he did he'd freak out the people walking by, it was quite funny.

The Old Bike

Changing the blue bike to sepia really emphasises the style and glamor those old street bikes had.

Itsy-Bitsy Spider, In a Yellow Box!

Visiting the Bug Zoo in Victoria was a pretty cool experience, the lighting was pretty dark (to promote insect growth), but I managed to find this Black Widow chillin' in his yellow-backed glass box hiding in his web.

Something about the blue sky and the colourful sails that caught my eye on this one.

Hippy House

Driving around Ontario, I came upon this crazy house. I could only imagine that a hippy had enough time to paint it this way. Unfortunately it was closed for the season. I wonder what they sell?

Seattle, Redmond & all of King County Wind Storm

Posted on 12/16/2006 11:36:00 AM by
As you may or may not know, the West coast just got SLAMMED with a wind storm in the past few days. I've just turned on my computer after 33 hours without power. That's peanuts compared to some folks though. I know Issaquah is still without power.

Yesterday my wife and I took a drive through 6 neighbouring towns to see if we could find a cell signal, and here are the photos from our adventure.
(Click on the pictures to see a larger version)


This shot taken on the street next to mine, in Redmond.


This shot taken on 236th Ave, heading from my place down to 202.


Further down 236th Ave.


Almost at 202, still on 236th.


This shot driving up Union Hill Road.


Following a BMW up Union Hill.


Past 208th on Union Hill Road is where it was hit the worst.


At the top of Union Hill, the power cables were spewn everywhere.

So as you can see, I'm surprised it only took 33 hours to get power back here. The wind storm was crazy. I lucky did not sustain any damage to my home or belongings or persons, the closest it came was a house in my neighbourhood had a window knocked out, and part of a fence.

I'm happy that it's over.

Poor Palm

Hopefully you're not bored of the snow pictures, I'm still getting a kick out of them. I remember looking up and seeing this poor palm tree, covered in snow...

Going through my Victoria pictures, I found another interesting one of the beginnings of the snow storm...
