Amazing Wood Sculpture

I was coming back from a meeting this morning when I passed this wonderful piece of art sitting in a small roadside parkette at the corner of Eglington and Ridgeway. The detail and beauty of the carving gave me no choice but to stop and take some photographs. Go have a look yourself, photographs don't do it justice. There is even a small bench provided so that you can sit and contemplate this work at your leisure.

I researched the artist, his name is Jim Menken. He has a website where you can see more of his work, and you can even commission him to do a customized piece for you.

After the Storm

Heavy rain and thunderstorms can be devastating, but after the storm can be calming.

Foggy Morning at Saddington Park

Enjoy a 2 minute relaxation break with this video I shot on a cool foggy morning down at Saddington Park. This was actually a happy surprise. I was up early hoping to get some sunrise shots over Lake Ontario, and I was greeted with this weather instead. I'm glad it happened.
Enjoy the video.

Mississauga Compass

A neat compass showing some of the heritage areas of our city.
The trick is for you to guess where this compass is located.
Actually it is hiding in plain site.

Our Mayor Hazel McCallion

What better way to start a photography blog all about Mississauga than by with Her Honour, Mayor Hazel McCallion. "Hurricane Hazel" as she is called by her supporters has been our Mayor since 1978.
Thank you Your Honour for your years of dedicated service.
