WasSUP Lake Ontario?

Warren heads for the power plant

 Stand Up Paddling, that's what's up. My brother-in-law Gavin is the water sport king and he's really gotten into SUPing lately.

He and his friend Warren can be found most evenings (warm, cold, rainy or clear) paddling up and down the coast of Lake Ontario in Scarborough, often in the shadow of the nuclear power plant. It's great exercise, especially when you go for hours (and dozens of kilometres) at a time, as these guys do

I don't know if brightly coloured clothes are a requirement of the sport or just a fashion statement.

Day 139 - Here's lookin' at you

This photograph makes me laugh. First of all, I like the look of it. The low light conditions in the room, the composition, the content itself. It's just a fun photo.

Patti and I were on Skype with my sister, Lynn, and her partner, Gavin, talking photography and cameras. It just so happens that both couples currently own the same Olympus digital camera and both Gavin and I have started to post our pictures on blogs.

So that, of course, led to Gavin taking a picture of us on his computer and me taking a picture of them (and us) on our computer. The result is a multilayered image with a lot going on. And the glow from the computer screen produces enough light to keep the shutter speed reasonably high while providing some pretty cool colours.
