    Some of my photos

    Both excellent photos. On the one [above the pre-emptive peacekeeping] you mentioned it was a longer exposure giving that misty effect. Was that created by the ripples on the water?

    Above and below: This old replica ship was set ablaze by vandals a few years ago. Now it is a rusting hulk just outside St Catharines. It still makes for an interesting subject. Sinking? This is not a bad camera angle. If you look at the foundation of the church you can see how it has...
