Pic of the Day #1167
While I’m waiting for my flight in the Seattle-Tacoma airport, I might as well post the next Pic of the Day. And yes, I didn’t INTEND to be waiting for this flight. Such is the miracle that is overbooking.
One of a series of night shots I was able to take of downtown Edmonton after a friend snuck me on to the roof of the New Cambridge Lofts.
While certainly not ranked among the best of my photographs, the shots in this set do have a rather eerie quality to them that I find appealing, enough that I’m mostly willing to look past the digital noise and “off” colours.
This shot is of the Westin, one of the ritzier hotels in downtown Edmonton.

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.
