Alligator

A close-up view of my friend Larry’s garage wall.

If you need it, it’s most likely there.

Just In Case

This is my friend Larry’s garage wall. The “too good to throw in the garbage” items hang on the wall just in case they will be needed some day in the future. Larry runs a farm and “you never know” when something hanging in the garage will be exactly what you need to repair a broken piece of equipment.

Of course, the day you need that item that you’ve saved for years is exactly one day after you give up on it and throw it out.

Waiting

North Bay’s Railway Heritage waits patiently on its own little siding.

Looking a bit forlorn these days, Engine 503 will eventually find a home on the waterfront.

AGO

My first visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario.  Embarrasing to admit, after growing up an hour away and visiting Toronto as many times as I have over the years.

Resting

What a marvellous place!  The original building and the recent addition by Frank Gehry are themselves works of art.

Engine 503

Parked on a temporary siding, 503 is scheduled to be spruced up and put on display.

The past is bright!

Discovery North Bay

The CPR station near the waterfront, long unused, has in recent years been refurbished and is now the home of @Discovery North Bay.

Removal of the rail yards allows one to see the waters of Lake Nipissing from its parking lot – if you stand on tip toe.

It is a lovely classic building.  Three cheers for those who worked to save it and make it a living classroom.  It is this kind of thing that turns a town into a community.
