This area is one of my favourite close places to go when I can't think of anywhere else interesting. I've never got any really good photos there but its just a nice quiet place to be. There's coyotes, bald eagles, and usually hundreds of geese. The only time I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a coyote was a kilometer or two away from where this photo was taken.

It was about 2am and I was shooting night photos at the beach along Riverside Drive. I looked down the beach and saw the silhouette of a dog sprint through the light of a street lamp, under a fence and into the darkness beside the old abandoned Riverside Brewery. At first I thought it was a dog, but then I noticed the thick bushy tail.

As a bonus I thought I'd add a photo from that night. Here is the Riverside Brewery building looking in the direction I saw the coyote. It was in the area of the lower left of the photo.

Windsor Dragway

In 1968 the Wheatley brothers officially opened the Windsor Dragway in front of 4000 spectators, three years later in 1971 it was closed and abandoned. A couple weeks ago I went out to visit the decaying remains just off Manning road at Baseline. I shot some photos but ran out of light way before I was done exploring. So on Saturday my friend Todd and I went back.

This is a shot of the actual drag strip that I shot on my first visit.

Once the sun went down I got out my flash and homemade color gels and try to liven the place up a little. I've been trying this technique more and more lately, but without overdoing it (I hope). I find it interesting in old decaying places. It seems to bring back some life and vibrancy.

Chevelle

I was looking for something to post because I realized it has been too long since my last post. I remembered I hadn't posted any photos from the Chevelle concert I shot over a month ago. I posted them on Facebook already (which I really need to stop doing with all my photos). So here are a few of my favourites from Chevelle's show at the University of Windsor.

Light Painting

I went out late the other night and tried some light painting. I got some better photos but I'm saving those for future use. Here's a couple decent ones that I just wanted to share.

Fall Classic

By 1 o'clock on Saturday all the karts and drivers had arrived for the first annual Fall Classic at FOG Speedway. The championship had been settled over a month ago but we had to get one more day of racing in before the snow came back. Here are a few of my favourites.
