Pic of the Day #1023
One of a few panoramic images taken at 100+ 2004, an Edmonton-area Scout Camp held in October of 2004, near Devon, Alberta.
This was taken after the camp had completed; the Rovers are just in the process of dismantling the admin tent (a big pavillion tent, really), and are loading it and its components into a Load & A2B Company truck. Load &A2B no longer exists — it is now Cranesmart Systems.
If there was one kind of photography that the PowerShot A70 really seemed like it was truly made for, it was outdoor photography in winter; the camera was just in its glory when there was snow on the ground.

I started blogging back in 2004 -- in May, if the Wayback Machine is to be believed. Not that I remember the exact day. To be honest, I didn't take it that seriously then; it was a fun distraction, but nothing more.
That all changed, I think, once the Danish cartoons were published, and the assault on the right to freedom of expression became very visible. With the recent issues in Canada concerning the "human rights" commissions, the gravity of the matter has only increased, and my interest in blogging has increased right along with it.
I used to blog at a domain called Time Immortal, but it seemed to be the right time for a change -- there's been a lot of that in my life of late. Hence this blog: a fresh start, and proof positive that I won't shut up even if I get shut down once in a while.
