Retired hardware engineer, current flâneur, trying to exercise my mind with a camera, usually a Fuji X-T5. Or my iPhone 16 potatocam. Or a Rolleiflex 2.8F twin-lens reflex on film. Ottawa, Canada, he/him, GenX. Part-time suburbanite, part-time rural landed gentry, occasional traveler.

The fortress of Minas Pretorith, one of two ancient towers fortifying the Pretoria Bridge over the Rideau Canal. The two identical crenellated towers, one on each side of the roadway, can support a garrison of one Commissionaire and one auxiliary cat. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Ottawa

&quot;Barrhaven&quot; might be an indigenous word meaning &quot;No particular reason to visit it, unless you happen to know someone who lives there, and you want to ask them if they&#39;ve thought about a condo in Westboro&quot;. In this photo, the wall-maker has cleverly incorporated the suburb&#39;s coat of arms: a rectangular field of featureless stucco, symbolizing the large featureless neighbourhood on a macro scale, and the smaller monoculture lawns on a micro scal...

Some ice, but no ice cream. I do recall getting treats here, oh, maybe a half-century ago, but it hasn&#39;t thrived since then. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Ottawa

Just a few days ago my mother-in-law was asking me, "now that you are retired, do you think you will do bird photography?" and while I said something polite in response, my mind was thinking "I can't decide if birding or watching golf is more boring". Anyway, then a barred owl showed up just outside the window. We could clearly hear it calling "to-wit-to-woo" before we saw it. Bird photography is definitely better than watching golf. #Photography #Birds #Bird...

I picked up a few books on my travels to pass the time in airports. It’s just ridiculous the quality of the stuff you find in the remainders pile! Good stuff! #bookstodon

The sleepy suburb of Barrhaven is slowing bidding goodbye to the faux-english-pub phase of its sad culinary history, and embracing a more exciting mix of cafes, pastry places, and middle-east-adjacent breakfast places. I had a very nice shakshuka this morning. The downside is that my brain is throwing up some visual aura to remind me that I can not handle Turkish coffee. Oops. #Photography #ottawa #Shakshuka
